Specialist presentations & technology insights
- Introduction to laser hardening
Dr. Steffen Bonß explains the process in comparison to conventional hardening technologies (e.g., furnace hardening, induction hardening, nitriding) and presents specific component applications. - Practical experience
ALOtec customers report on their experiences with the technology, focusing on cost-effectiveness, process stability, and component quality. - Technology insights with a focus on geometric diversity
Dr. Clemens Kuhn presents special optics for hardening complex components and applications in the field of laser cladding.


Hands-on plant engineering
Collaborative WAAM system under construction
During the event, we will be presenting our new WAAM (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing) system for the first time, which is currently being developed for BTU Cottbus.
- Two collaborating robots in master-slave mode
- 16 synchronized axes for high flexibility
- Powerful WAAM processes based on the latest Fronius technology
The facility represents the real-world implementation of industrial additive manufacturing technology – right on site and open to visitors.
Wear protection through laser hardening
Live demonstration
At one of our facilities, we will demonstrate laser hardening in real-life operation. Experience the entire process live—from programming to the various optics to the hardened component.


Space for exchange
Professional exchange & conclusion
Coffee, cold drinks, and light snacks will be available throughout the event.
At the end of the event, we invite you to join us for a relaxed get-together at the buffet – ideal for in-depth discussions, professional exchanges, and personal networking.
