6. GF AgieCharmilles’ laser technology requires
no special maintenance or replacement of
small, fragile or expensive tools. Because the
the texturing tool is a fiber laser, no sharp-
ening is ever needed and there is no threat of
tool breakage. The lifetime of our Fiber laser
source is more than 30,000 hours (1,250 days).
Because the process is laser based it doesnt
produce any polluting fluids, slurry or chips.
And any remaining metal dust is vaccumed
away.

7. GF Machining Solutions laser portfolio allows you to have a fully digital process which gives you the ability to
have unlimited repeatability. This process is completely repeatable no matter the time lapsed between jobs or
how many parts are produced. Additionally, because the AgieCharmilles Laser technology is fully digital you
can easily go from one machine to another as the technology is compatible across the product line. Since this
process is completely digital we can assure our client who have facilities throughout the globe that the parts
will be completely identical.
