"Health check" for lasers
Oliver Meusel at a laser in our welding laboratory in Coburg. Here, we conduct tests for new technologies in development and production, as well as for designing processes.
Can a production facility and its associated welding system continue to be used, or is a new investment necessary? The answer to this question is now provided by an assessment procedure developed by Brose and our supplier TRUMPF, which enables a transparent and traceable overall evaluation of laser systems and is now in use worldwide. This Laser Health Check
is based on the analysis of collected laser data, an on-site assessment by service technicians, and a review of service and spare parts availability for the period of reuse.
The benefits at a glance:
- Cost savings through reduced capital expenditures
- Enhanced sustainability through the reuse of equipment
- Planning certainty and reduced risk of downtime

The Health Check provides certainty and offers a solid basis for decision-making. Our production planners can now compare real figures side by side and weigh the pros and cons of a new purchase versus reuse, especially in terms of costs, risks, and sustainability,
explains Oliver Meusel, welding technology expert. He has been coordinating the project since early 2024 with the participation of teams from Coburg, Germany, and Ostrava, Czech Republic.
Brose and Trumpf explain in detail how the “Health Check for Lasers” works in this video.
