Dedicated laser solutions for polymer welding

machine or as a functional kit consisting of laser, clamping unit and software for process control. The systems are equipped with a special human machine interface for polymer welding and a work piece clamping unit working with either a pneumatic or a servo clamping drive, manufactured to the customer’s specific requirements. The control software for the joining process has been specially developed for polymer welding applications, eg to deliver a setting signal and level for process control and quality assurance. Data can be logged for process statistics and quality management. The polymer welding solution is based on Rofin’s MPS multi-purpose laser workstation. It houses a DILAS Compact Evolution laser, operating with 980nm or 880nm wavelength and a cw power of 150-500W. A pyrometric process control allows for constant welding temperature and optimised results. Rofin-Baasel Lasertech GmbH & Co KG – Germany Fax: +49 8151 776 4159 Email: sales-micro@rofin.de Website: www.rofin.com Double horizontal tube punching MULTICYL Inc has released a new double horizontal tube punching application. The machine makes for a simple and effective method of punching holes in the opposing walls of a tube or extrusion. Both holes are positioned and aligned correctly every time and punched in a matter of seconds.

ROFIN already covers a share of this expanding market with its DILAS diode lasers. However, customers are increasingly asking for complete laser polymer welding solutions. The polymer welding system is either sold as a turnkey

RECENT years have seen increasing demand for lightweight components made from polymers. For this reason, fusing of polymers in complete system solutions with diode lasers has become more important.
