Due to the many advantages, innovative laser applications becoming more and more important also in the field of medical technology. The GFH GmbH as one of the world-wide technology leaders in the production of laser systems, enables the time- and process-efficient laser turning with components of very small diameter, among other things of micropincets with spherical head for the application in the medical technology by its high-precision technique.

The turning process consists of two sub-processes: roughing (rough machining) and finishing (fine machining). In contrast to conventional turning processes, it has a number of advantages: In addition to the contactless processing of even the smallest tool sizes, almost any material can be processed. In addition, GFH GmbH optimized the so-called roughing process with regard to process time and process efficiency by a significant amount.

These positive factors of the roughing process not only compensate the higher time required for the finishing process and fine machining but also speed up the process time many times over. Thus, the laser turning method is extremely well suited to the optimized process time factor, the dimensional accuracy and surface quality, especially in the component manufacturing for medical technology.
