1994

Josef Höllbauer founded company ALPHA LASER and started the development of the ALS 25

1995

Wolfgang Seifert and Hans J. Penser joined the company as partners. The ALS 25 – first Nd:YAG laser welding device developed and manufactured by ALPHA LASER was introduced into the market.

 1996

The compact laser welding device ALC. This laser was specially developed for applications in dental laboratories. Its small space requirements, together with the power it offered, were immediately convincing.

1997

Professional laser welding device ALP, for use in dental laboratories and in jewellery manufacture and repair. New is the patented multi-function-foot-pedal. All laser settings are executed by foot and displayed in the binocular, allowing thus fully concentrated, uninterrupted working.

1998

ALPHA LASER recognized the suitability of laser for tool and mould repairs at a very early stage. Consequently, in 1998, we introduced the first available laser welding device for this particular area of industry to the market: the ALW vario. This laser is still used today, for example, by all large mobile phone manufacturers for changes and repairs to their moulds.

2001

Market entry of the compact Nd:YAG laser sources AL. This series paved the way to extensive new areas of application. Combined with the (also newly developed) Workbench ALT. These AL welding lasers have found widespread use in many areas of industry.

SL 50 – New design, new technology for jewelery manufacture.

2002

Introduction of the laser-tabletop device, ALDT – compact, powerful and affordable.
SL 75 – the powerful 2-lamp laser system for the jewelery industry and medical technology.

2003

The compact and versatile ALV enters the market. Specially developed for small workpieces of up to 50 kg, this device allows processing of workpieces on four guided axes within the working chamber, either by joystick control or in automatic drive.
Still today the only really mobile laser welding machine, ALM conquers the market and creates new, universal possibilities for use in joining, seaming and repair welding, whether directly on the customer site or in your own workshop.

2005

Further development: ALM mobile – new with 200 Watts.

2006

The precision workbench ALT 500: extensive positioning paths, high positioning speeds, together with positioning accuracy. These are the properties that distinguish this extremely stable workbench.
The flexible laser cutting and welding machine AC 200 is one for all applications: laser cutting as well as welding of prototypes and series.
Turn and tilt optical system. The laser beam can be steered continuously, up to 45°from the vertical, within the entire 360° swivel range of the optic. Excellent visibility within the working area is provided by the integrated LED-ring-lamp.

2007

ALMax – The large, mobile one. Developed according to customer wish and used for welding tasks for which even an ALM would be too small. Welding seams of more than 750 mm length can be completed without interruption, achieving thus excellent welding results, for example, for large, high-grade-steel sculptures.
AL 300 – The most powerful in the AL-Series, reaching previously unattained power levels, and offering highest quality for deposit welding.

2008

VL 50 – A powerful tabletop laser welding device with state-of-the-art technology. Used for welding of dental prostheses, jewelery, precision mechanical parts, medical technology components, sensors and small moulds.
ALFlak mobil – Flexible laser for deposit and contour welding on large machine components, designer parts, die-cast and forming tools. The new User-Coordinate-Steering system allows simple realization of three-dimensional movement sequences.

2009

ALS 100 – Latest technology in modern design. The new generation of manual laser working stations for many areas of use: welding of dental prostheses, jewellery, mechanical parts, medical-technological components, sensors and the smallest moulds.

ALW 200/300 - this laser offers more power - more accuray - more possiblities

ALT Basic -  The ALT Basic is ideal, when a variety of work pieces needs to be handled very flexible but a programmed welding isn't necessary.

2010

ALMicro - ALPHA LASER has realized a special concept for micro welding. A machine which, by its construction and with its special optics and optimized shielding gas, is specially designed to carry out the finest micro welding work.

2011

AL-RR and AL-RB - two laser devices for sensor producers for cutting and scoring of tubes.
