About SWF Schlotz
SWF Schlotz GmbH, located in Lichtenwald (Baden-Württemberg), is a job manufacturer specializing in laser technology, which has been operating in the field of laser welding since 1999. The range of services includes CAD-assisted laser welding with 5 axes (4th and 5th axis switchable, with cutting and engraving equipment), laser welding for large parts with workpiece weights up to 600 kg and dimensions up to 900 x 800 x 400 mm, contour cuts with a cutting laser for workpieces up to 400 x 500 mm including nesting function, and mobile laser services on-site. Welding is performed based on CAD data as well as classically from construction drawings – from simple weld paths to complex contours. Main customers come from tool and die manufacturing (e.g., medical technology), injection molding, foundries, stamping and bending technology, and cutting tool construction. The company works in partnership with the TRUMPF Group and delivers nationwide throughout Europe.
