Laser welding system is easily integrated
The StarWeld series of pulsed YAG lasers, fitted with dynamic beam positioning offers an easy package to integrate into production automation equipment for the automotive and other industries.
All-in system takes on polymer welding
PolyScan is a turnkey system for 2D welding of thermoplastic polymers.
The diffusion cooled RF excited slab construction allows for a compact, rugged design that can be robot mounted or fitted to a moving bridge flat-bed system.
The laser produces a high quality round, symmetrical beam that results in faster cutting speeds with improved edge quality and a minimum heat affected zone.
The hard sealed construction of the laser tube ensures long gas lifetime, and virtually no maintenance.
Elimination of an independent gas supply has the added benefit of removing the contamination source for the cavity optics and output window.
Standard features include automatic power feedback resulting in better than +/-2% long-term power stability.
External interfaces allow control of the laser by a PC or a PLC based handling system.
A handheld control module and onboard diagnostics provide continuous monitoring of key functions and modules.
Optional items include: a laser diode pointer; an electromechanical safety shutter; a circular polariser and an ATFR (anti-back-reflection module).
The SCx60 can cut a wide range of materials, including dieboard, acrylic, plastics, steel and stainless steel.
For the first time, a sealed CO2 can handle applications previously limited to more complex and expensive fast axial flow lasers. Request a free brochure from Rofin-Baasel UK ...
