Remote laser welding with galvanometer-based scan heads has become a key technology in numerous industrial sectors. In the automotive industry and the electromobility sector in particular, but also in the manufacture of batteries and fuel cells, this joining technique is used to safely manufacture highly innovative composite materials and therefore facilitate the development of pioneering products. As a small, flexible enterprise, Blackbird has developed a reputation as a technology leader in remote laser welding over the years. The range of services here includes the comprehensive system integration as well as software-supported control technology with an intuitive user interface.

To expand the technical sales and global customer service, as of July 2022, Blackbird is cooperating with the technology developer and welding experts ABICOR BINZEL. The intensive and collaborative partnership ensures that every customer can receive optimum support – from their individual request, through to years of after-sales support. In the future, there will be markets that are exclusively served by one of the two partners.

"In ABICOR BINZEL we have found the perfect partner with over 75 years experience in welding technology in order to provide our shared global customers with even better support," enthuses Karl Christian Messer, Managing Director of Blackbird Robotersysteme GmbH, about the partnership.
