Investments for the future in the latest laser technology

Lesjöfors has recently made a large machine investment at the factory in Värnamo. The advanced fiber laser meets many customers' requirements for increased technical flexibility in production.

Customers' needs and requests are dynamic and constantly evolving and Lesjöfors stated strategy is to be in absolute forefront in terms of technical know-how and machinery. This enables flexible and optimized solutions based on each individual need.

“We have a massive inflow of new business and in many cases it is the opportunities with creative product optimization linked to modern production techniques of strip components (pressings) that make the deal possible, says Jakob Lindquist, MD of Lesjöfors Banddetaljer in Värnamo.

Fiber laser with a wide range of use

In line with the strategy, a major investment has recently been made in a new fiber laser from LMI at Lesjöfors´ factory in Värnamo. It is initially intended for laser welding, but has a number of other uses, e.g. cutting, marking, polishing, soldering and local heat treatment.

“We notice an increasing demand in the market of products based on advanced technical solutions. Our job is often about finding technically rational production solutions including welding and bonding, but also product concepts in which materials saving is in focus. We are very pleased that we can offer a higher flexibility with the new fiber laser”, says Jakob Lindquist.

The investment in the fiber laser is only one in a number of technology investments Lesjöfors is implementing to further advance the market position and meet customer needs.
