 Welcoming Our New Managing Director at Vollmer UK

As April approaches, we would like to recognise and thank Martyn Cross for his outstanding leadership and many years of dedicated service as Managing Director of Vollmer UK.

Martyn has played a pivotal role in strengthening our presence in the UK market, and his commitment, expertise and passion will be greatly missed as he moves into a well-deserved retirement.

At the same time, we are pleased to announce that Chris Hellyer will be taking over as Managing Director from April. Over the coming months, Chris will be working closely and shadowing Martyn to ensure a smooth and successful transition, as we look forward to continued growth and strong collaboration across the Vollmer UK team.

Welcome to the Vollmer family, Chris!

Here’s to continued collaboration and another successful year ahead in 2026! 🎉

VLaser 370: Precision. Efficiency. Redefined.

While other machines reach their limits, the VLaser 370 is setting entirely new benchmarks for tool machining. From the smallest radii to the largest diameters, it delivers unrivalled accuracy, speed, and flexibility across automotive, aerospace, and electronics applications.

Whether working with short or long tools, small or large diameters, or simple and complex geometries, the VLaser 370 achieves exceptional precision with minimal compensation movements, while boosting processing efficiency to levels previously unseen.

The VLaser 370 is built around four core principles that define the next generation of laser machining:

🔍 LaserMadePrecise

Precision is at the core of the VLaser 370. Machining occurs directly at the C-axis focal point with minimal compensation. Even complex geometries and internal radii as small as 20 μm are handled effortlessly, ensuring repeatable accuracy for demanding applications such as thread profiles or closed contours.

🧠 LaserMadeEasy

Usability and automation are key. Thanks to advanced kinematics and internal compensation measurement, the VLaser 370 operates reliably for months without recalibration or cleaning. Its intuitive controls and smart automation make it ideal for unmanned, round-the-clock operation.

🌱 LaserMadeGreen

Efficiency meets sustainability. Energy-saving drive technology and an optimised extraction system reduce power consumption and contamination. Vaporised microparticles are removed effectively, protecting optics and maintaining long-term cleanliness.

🎯 LaserMadeForYou

From automotive to aerospace, electronics, and tooling, the VLaser 370 adapts to your needs. It handles ultra-hard materials such as PCD, CVD diamond, and PcBN with precision and flexibility, and with leasing or sample machining options, it’s easy to test and integrate into your production.

As part of our #LaserMadePrecise campaign, we’re highlighting the impressive capabilities of the VLaser 370. From intricate details to robust, high-speed performance, it sets new standards for accuracy and efficiency in laser machining.

Looking ahead to 2026, we’ll launch #LaserMadeEasy, making advanced laser solutions even more accessible to our customers. Stay tuned for this campaign!

The VLaser 370 demonstrates the ultimate in laser technology, delivering micron-level precision and high-speed production where it matters most. Discover how it can transform your production standards and keep your business ahead of the curve.
