Dedicated laser solutions for
polymer welding
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.
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
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.

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.
