AMB 2026 | September 15–19, 2026 | Stuttgart | Hall 5 | TBH Booth 5D20
A W3 laser fume extraction system plays a crucial role when companies want to perform automated laser welding of high-alloy stainless steels and recirculate the purified air in a recirculation mode. Especially in rented facilities or existing production halls, installing an exhaust duct to the outside is often impossible or requires significant effort. At AMB 2026, TBH will showcase solutions for the safe capture of laser fumes, W3 air recirculation, and the integration of modern filtration and extraction systems into industrial manufacturing processes.
W3 Laser Fume Extraction for Recirculation Mode
Laser welding of high-alloy materials such as V2A or V4A produces welding fumes containing fine and ultrafine particles. Depending on the material, these fumes may also contain components that are hazardous to health or carcinogenic.
Therefore, anyone wishing to recirculate purified process air back into the work area must meet specific requirements. A W3 laser fume extraction system helps companies safely capture welding fumes and comply with the requirements of DIN EN ISO 21904-1/-2 for W3 applications.
To learn more about why capturing fumes directly at the source is crucial, read the article “Capturing Laser Fumes Properly”.
Filter and Extraction Solutions for Industrial Laser Processes
At AMB 2026, TBH will present solutions for industrial laser applications—from source capture and H14 particle filtration to W3 air recirculation.
The focus will be, among other things, on the TFS series systems and the LN 600. These are suitable for high air flow rates, longer duct runs, and automated manufacturing processes with short cycle times and multi-shift operation.
Another key focus is low-contamination filter replacement. SafeLine filter solutions simplify maintenance work and reduce contact with contaminated filter elements.
For more information on the right filter equipment, see the article “What Filters Does a Laser Fume Extraction System Need?”.
