Improving the productivity of machining processes is one of the basic requirements in every machine-tool engineering specification. Scientists have integrated a laser module into the tool station of a milling spindle. The five-axis, computer-controlled milling center can now perform two jobs: Three-dimensional deposition welding using a 1.5-kilowatt diode laser and component finishing using 5-axis milling.
