About us
Laserline GmbH, with its headquarters in Mülheim-Kärlich near Koblenz, was founded in 1997. The company is a world leader in the development and manufacture of highly efficient, modular diode laser systems with blue and infrared wavelengths. Laserline high-power diode lasers achieve output powers of up to 60 kW and a wall plug efficiency (WPE) of over 50 percent. Based on decades of experience, Laserline develops customized laser solutions for industrial applications – including high-quality beam shaping optics for the realization of variable spot geometries – and has established itself internationally as a reliable partner. More than 7,500 high-power diode lasers from Laserline are currently in use around the world, demonstrating their performance in a wide variety of processes and applications. The laser technology specialist currently employs around 400 people and has international subsidiaries in the USA, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, China, South Korea, and India as well as representatives in Europe (France, Great Britain, Italy) and in the Asia-Pacific region (Australia, Taiwan, Singapore).

Products & Services
Laserline is presenting energy-efficient laser applications for industrial material processing in the field of electromobility and battery production. Highlights of the trade fair appearance include the LDF 30,000 DR and LDF 15,000 DR diode lasers – two new high-efficiency laser systems that support a diode laser-based drying process for the efficient, economical and environmentally friendly production of lithium-ion batteries. For the first time, the process enables the production of anodes and cathodes in a roll-to-roll process and thus offers an alternative to the market-dominating convection drying in electricity- or gas-powered continuous ovens. Compared to a conventional GigaFab drying line, it guarantees operating cost savings of 28 percent and halves the required production area, thus representing an important milestone on the way to CO2-neutral and competitive battery cell production.
Blue Diode Lasers LDFblue and LDMblue
Blue high-power diode lasers: One of the main applications is the welding of copper components, for example in electrical drive technology or power electronics. Its wavelength of 445 nm is absorbed by copper and copper alloys ten times better than infrared radiation, which ensures exceptionally smooth weld pools without pore formation. The highlight of the product range are the world's first commercially available blue diode lasers with 4 kW CW output power, which open up new areas of application, such as the deep welding of inverter assemblies. The most compact version of blue high-power diode lasers, the LDMblue lasers, are available with CW output powers of up to 2 kW and are particularly easy to integrate into machine and system concepts thanks to their space-saving 19" format (7 U).
Diode Laser System LDF VG6 – The Modular Laser Platform
The Laserline LDF diode laser of the 6th generation sets the standards for industrial applications in the multi-kilowatts range regarding power, mobility, efficiency and easier maintenance:
- World’s only mobile series with up to 45 kW laser power
- Modular: Optional internal or external cooling system
- High electrical efficiency: Up to 50 percent
- Field-proven active diode cooling technology
- Internal networking of all system components
- Real-time diagnosis for errors
- Interfaces compatible with previous systems
Diode Laser System LDM – Compact, Powerful and Reliable
The Laserline LDM series includes highly compact beam sources as 19" rack mount module. This technology offers a significant simplification of the laser integration in machines or systems. It combines the diode stacks, a fiber-coupling unit, the power supply, cooling as well as microelectronics used to monitor and control the laser.
With an increase in performance of the product family LDM in the 7 U system, Laserline again sets the standard for compact high power diode lasers. The further development of the LDM technology now enabled new applications with up to 10 kW laser power.
Laser Drying – A Quantum Leap in Energy Savings
Drying with diode lasers is a cost-efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to the widely used convective oven drying. With homogeneous area spots, even large surfaces with side lengths of up to 2 m can be irradiated. In principle, all materials that exhibit sufficient absorption for the laser wavelength can be dried. The laser beam heats only the coating, thus yielding a targeted evaporation of the solvent or even sintering on the workpiece.
Especially in times when highly efficient electrified solutions are sought in the face of gas shortages and rising energy costs, this could become the standard.
Processing Optics OTS-5 with Multi-Spot Module
The Laserline OTS optics are designed for industrial material processing and optimized for use with Laserline's diode lasers. The innovative Multi-Spot module enables the realization of almost any desired spot geometry and intensity distribution, achieving high speeds and attractive seams.
Its Spot-in-Spot design ensures efficient welding of both asymmetrical and symmetrical seams with minimal spatter and adaptable penetration, making it ideal for the production of battery boxes. Additionally, the diode laser-based process supports numerous beam shaping options, allowing precise adaptation of power input to each specific component. This significantly reduces the occurrence of hot cracks.
