Sustainable solutions thanks to research and technology transfer
In order to focus on the future in a targeted manner, we participate in long-term and future-oriented research projects together with well-known institutions such as the Fraunhofer Institutes. The results of these research projects can then be found in new processes, such as laser polishing.
Arnold laser systems are customer-oriented
Changing demands on the tasks of our customers require system modifications again and again, which demands our innovative and creative properties and for our customers means that you get exactly the machine that fits the requirements.
Certified quality management
Arnold Ravensburg is certified according to the ISO 9001 quality management system . This ensures that we guarantee our customers a high standard for all services and products.
That means largely trouble-free systems with maximum availability as well as turnkey solutions and processes.
ARNOLD Ravensburg was founded in Ravensburg in 1919 and has now been in existence for over 100 years.
Anton Arnold laid the foundation stone in 1919 with a special welding shop for cast iron and aluminum. With the current owner, Mr. Thomas Arnold, the company is still family-owned and in 2019 employed around 80 people in our anniversary year.
Initially, the Arnold company was a supplier of manufacturing and welding parts. Later self-constructed devices and special machines for various branches of industry were added to the delivery spectrum.
In 1985, we manufactured our first in-house designed laser welding system for the gear factory in Friedrichshafen. Since then, we have been producing and developing complex laser systems , including the necessary ancillary processes, automation components, and specialized fixture technology for laser welding. We have supplied complete laser welding production lines, including our own integrated processes such as pressing, heating, and brushing stations, as well as ultrasonic technology, to all leading manufacturers of drive systems.
Laser welding systems are still our most important area. But there are also many laser systems from us for laser cutting, build-up welding and even for laser hardening and laser polishing.
Today, we have laser systems in operation worldwide, with several hundred reference projects. Our systems can be found on every continent, with the majority of our machines located in Europe and China .
