Precitec Acquires Majority Stake in Enovasense Thickness Sensor Company
Precitec Optronik has acquired a majority stake in the French start-up Enovasense with its technology to measure the thickness of all kinds of coatings on any substrate.

Precitec Sees a Bright Future in Laser Welding Systems
"At Precitec, innovation is key" so Klaus Loeffler, Managing Director & Chief Sales Officer at Precitec. To widen the technology, promoting such innovations in new industries is the most challenging part of it. EPIC - EUROPEAN PHOTONICS INDUSTRY CONSORTIUM and other industrial associations are a great support for this.

What is the correlation between laser power and productivity?
Dr. Markus Kogel-Hollacher speaks about laser cutting heads in the power range of 30kW. The almost linear dependence of laser power and productivity as well as the behavior and consistency of the cutting quality of the laser heads play a major role here. Can all of these factors be linked together?

What are the benefits of high power laser cutting?
Precitec was one of the company at Euroblech in Hanover, Germany, who offers cutting heads with ultra-high cutting powers. The firm was showcasing its ProCutter 2.0, capable of handling up to 40kW of laser power thanks to its sophisticated cooling concept and extended travel paths.Is the market ready for such high power? Laser Systems Europe wrote an extensive article about this topic.

Non-contact thickness measurement of non-transparent components
Publication in the German Magazine InVision in April 2020
With the CHRocodile 2 DPS dual-channel sensor Precitec Optronik offers a stand-alone solution that enables non-contact thickness measurement of non-transparent components in both inline and offline production processes. Utilizing the geometry of the structure, the thickness of an object is calculated internally in the CHRocodile 2 DPS using the distance data to the two surfaces and provided directly to the user as a measurement signal.
