Robust AO GmbH (Robust Adap­tive Optics) devel­ops and sells fast Z‑axes under the brand Zwobbel® for high speed laser mate­r­ial pro­cess­ing. The Zwobbel®, as a Plug’n’Play solu­tion, can solve a cru­cial prob­lem: the very slow z‑axis posi­tion­ing speed in high power laser processes. By using a novel opto­me­chan­i­cal tech­nol­ogy, the sys­tem is faster, more power sta­ble and more com­pact than com­pa­ra­ble prod­ucts. The use of the Zwobbel® even enables new pro­cess­ing meth­ods in the field of laser hard­en­ing, laser weld­ing and laser cut­ting as well as the devel­op­ment of new pro­cess­ing fields in micro-structuring.
