Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does laser cutting work and which materials can be processed?

    Laser cutting uses a focused laser beam to cleanly separate sheet metal. Our fiber lasers cut steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals, ensuring smooth edges with minimal distortion.

  • What are the advantages of laser cutting compared to other cutting methods?

    Laser cutting stands out for its high precision, reduced material waste, and faster processing times. It can also handle complex geometries without the need for additional tooling.

  • What sheet thicknesses and lengths can you process for bending?

    We can bend sheets up to 4200 mm in length and about 20 mm thick (material dependent). Our modern CNC press brakes provide consistent quality and repeat accuracy.

  • How do you ensure precise angles and dimensional accuracy when bending?

    With CNC control and automated crowning, we achieve uniformly accurate angles, even for large batches. Regular measurements during production further ensure quality.

  • Which stud diameters are possible with stud welding?

    We can weld threaded studs and collars ranging from M3 to M10 onto steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and brass, creating a durable high-strength joint.

  • Is stud welding suitable for thin sheets as well?

    Yes, the short welding pulse prevents excessive heat input, making sure thin sheets do not warp. Stud welding is therefore an efficient solution for a wide range of applications.

  • When should WIG welding be used and when MIG welding?

    WIG welding is ideal for thin sheets and highest seam quality, whereas MIG welding excels with thicker materials and faster production. We are happy to advise on the best method for your needs.

  • Which metals can you weld?

    We weld steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, from precise tack welds to complex assemblies. We can also handle post-weld finishing upon request.

  • Which surface finishing options do you offer?

    We offer powder coating, painting, and other processes (e.g., electropolishing) in collaboration with our partners, ensuring optimal corrosion resistance and attractive finishes.

  • Do I need a final drawing for the finishing process?

    A drawing helps us understand which surfaces, edges, or holes need special treatment. We can advise you on achieving the best technical and aesthetic results.

  • Which machining services do you provide?

    We handle drilling, threading, countersinking, and flow drilling. For more complex tasks, we cooperate with partner companies to provide you with a comprehensive manufacturing solution.

  • Can you also machine aluminum or stainless steel?

    Yes, our equipment is suitable for various metals. Whether steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, we adjust cutting and feed rates for optimal results.

  • What does BERlaser mean by digitization in metal fabrication?

    We use digital workflows to seamlessly integrate CAD data into our manufacturing processes. This ensures fast data transfer, automated nesting optimizations, and transparent production progress.

  • How do customers benefit from your digital processes?

    Digital processes result in shorter lead times, fewer errors, and better planning. Customers receive quotes faster, can make adjustments flexibly, and gain clearer insight into production status.

  • What sets BERlaser apart in terms of innovation?

    We invest in R&D, partner with universities, and test new laser sources as well as hybrid processes. Thus, we rapidly translate innovation into practice, providing our customers with cutting-edge manufacturing solutions.

  • How do businesses benefit from your innovative approaches?

    Our focus on innovation leads to faster processes, new manufacturing possibilities, and lower costs. Businesses remain competitive and can respond flexibly to market demands.

  • Are you currently offering positions for metalworkers or engineers?

    You can find current vacancies on our “Jobs & Careers” page. We are always looking for motivated talent in production, engineering, and administration.

  • What does the onboarding process look like for new employees?

    We provide a thorough onboarding process, where experienced colleagues serve as mentors. We also offer training and development programs to help newcomers quickly adapt to our processes and technologies.

  • How do I receive a quote and what is the order process like?

    Simply send us your CAD files or a sketch with all relevant details. We will review your request, provide a custom quote, and start production once approved. You can track your project status at any time.

  • What payment methods do you accept, and how long is the delivery time?

    We generally accept bank transfers or, upon request, other forms of payment. Lead times depend on project complexity and scope, but typically range from a few days to two weeks.
