Second eurolaser systems for FFT Group
With the M-800, which has been in operation at FFT since 2012, the focus was on prototyping and very small series. "The good experience, the existing contact and the geographical proximity were ultimately the deciding factors for the new investment in another eurolaser. The current model of the M-800 in the shuttle table version was therefore the obvious and logical choice for FFT," said Jacob Schneider, technical manager at FFT Schwanbeck. This enables the company to run even larger quantities and series production while benefiting from the advantages of laser processing. Adaptations and optimizations are of course also possible at short notice and without complications after the start of series production.
