Robust AO - still need more dynamic beam shaping

Efficiency is the key to success in companies. Do you need more quality, precision and speed? The solution in laser material processing is dynamic beam shaping.

With the ZWOBBEL, ROBUST AO offers you a ready-to-use technology that „wobbles“ precisely and up to 100x faster than conventional solutions by using the Z-axis – hence the name of our technology. The piezo-driven mirror is also compact and compatible with your current laser specifications.

Your advantage? In addition to increasing the efficiency of your systems, you reduce your energy costs and thus make a contribution to sustainability.

From a startup to a hidden champion

ROBUST AO was founded in 2020 as a spin-off of the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering (IOF). The team’s shared passion is to create innovative methods that address technical problems and challenges in laser material processing. Based on our technology, dynamic beam shaping for high-power lasers, and the fastest 3D laser machining is enabled. This not only increases production quality and speed but also reduces energy consumption due to shorter processing times.

As a result, ROBUST AO’s solution is more energy-efficient and resource-saving than traditional methods.

Our characteristics

ROBUST AO GmbH (Robust Adaptive Optics) develops and sells fast focusing solutions under the brand Zwobbel® that solve a crucial problem: the very slow focusing speed in high power laser processes. Therewith, we unlock the potential of dynamic beam shaping.

Results

Optimising oscillation parameters such as oscillation frequency, amplitude and phase require some experience with our Zwobbel technology. Let us illustrate this with an example: The optimisation of a static spot in laser cutting depends on the material, the imaging scale, the laser power and the cutting speed. The use of dynamic beam shaping tools such as Zwobbel technology shifts these parameters. In this section we show you the capability of this technique.
