Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V.

Industry 4.0 requires processes that integrate into existing production environments: customer-specific, system-technical solutions are in demand. By way of selected laser processing heads, the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) will be presenting individual comprehensive solutions for processes and systems for laser material processing at the Hannover Messe 2019.

Presbyopia and astigmatism are widespread. To prevent the glasses from becoming unavoidable, the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) has developed a virtual eye model together with two project partners. With this, an eye surgery can be simulated. During the so-called fs-lentotomy, the lens of the eye is made more flexible again by generating microsections with a femtosecond laser. In fs-keratotomy, the astigmatism of the cornea is compensated by targeted cuts.

Can laser beam cutting underwater be used for efficient reactor dismantling? This question will be investigated by scientists of the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) within the scope of the AZULa project. In a feasibility study, they develop a laser beam cutting process and construct a compact cutting head for use in a radiologically activated and contaminated underwater environment.
