Laser welding systems for integration

The most compact machine in the InlineWeld series: a complete welding machine consisting of a welding unit with optics, scanner and f-theta lens plus a control cabinet with laser source and control unit. Suitable for quasi-simultaneous and contour welding.

A flexible adapter plate lets the machine be mounted to virtually any production-line interface. Clamping technology and the workpiece carrier come from the line builder; LPKF supports that coordination.

Technical features:

• Complete welding machine for quasi-simultaneous and contour welding
• Wide choice of optics and f-theta lenses for different working fields and spot sizes
• Air-cooled laser sources up to 320 W, energy-efficient
• Optional external laser box for more freedom in the machine layout
• LPKF FineFocus and TherMoPro available as options

The integration-ready version of the 3D 8000 system: the same technology as the stand-alone PowerWeld 3D 8000, but prepared for inclusion in an automated line with infeed and outfeed transport. For series production of large plastic parts such as battery modules, dashboards and tail lights.

Here too LPKF Wobble-Weld gives an adjustable seam width of 1 to 5 mm with a homogeneous temperature distribution, eight servo drives clamp bottom-up up to 20 kN, and integrated melt travel monitoring safeguards quality.

Technical features:

• Welding area 1,000 × 750 × 400 mm
• Seam width 1 – 5 mm adjustable via Wobble-Weld
• Clamping force up to 20 kN single, 2 × 10 kN double
• Tolerance compensation via controllable servo engines and active toolings
• Extendable with TherMoPro for additional process control

A fully functional welding system and successor to the InlineWeld 2000: a welding unit with a powerful laser source and a rotary arm that guides the beam around a stationary, rotationally symmetrical part. Developed for automated production lines, but equally usable stand-alone in production or laboratory environments.

Besides cylindrical geometries the system handles oval and customer-specific shapes. Press-fit, tapered-fit and bridge joints are possible; the latter two require external force. An integrated pyrometer monitors and controls the welding process.

Technical features:

• Increased power for high production throughput
• Integrated quality assurance with pyrometer and controller
• Low space requirement and extensive interfacing options
• Cost-efficient in investment and maintenance
• Usable in-line or stand-alone, including in a laboratory environment
