The service allows tire plants to use laser technology without making an initial investment. LY-Holding will install a 4JET laser system in a European tire plant within the first half of 2018. The companies expect to significantly expand their cooperation, leveraging LY-Holding's growing global presence in over 40 tire manufacturing facilities.
The 4JET STMCS laser systems enable touchless precision cleaning of intricate mold patterns using a six-axis cleaning head. The low-maintenance solid state lasers work at minimum operation costs and provide a clean mold surface.
In 4JET's Alsdorf facility, a team of engineers and physicists develops laser processes and integrated manufacturing tools for industrial applications, which are used by customers in over 35 countries who are served by an international network for sales and service.
