The StarWeld Tool Open from Rofin is a mobile laser welding system used for repairing injection mould tools, and can carry out repair work on unlimited sized tools on-site.
A cantilever arm carries a fibre-coupled laser beam to the workpiece and can process surfaces accurately in any position with short set-up times; there is no need for time-consuming and costly transportation of large tools and moulds as repair work can be done on-site.
The industrial design fulfils two key functions.
First, the cantilever arm with its large range must be able to reach difficult areas in need of repair.
Secondly, when transported, it should be as small and compact as possible, and if required it should be ready to use immediately.
The flexible cantilever arm reaches any spot, almost like a human arm, and can be locked in any position required.
After use, the cantilever arm is folded up and is protected in a transport position with all operating elements and cables stowed away.
For maintenance work, the integrated components can easily be accessed by removing panels from the enclosure.
Unlimited sized tools can be laser welded with precision build-up on tool steels, aluminium and copper alloys.
Output is 150W and high peak power ensures high speed and flexibility. Request a free brochure from Rofin-Baasel UK ...
