Stand-alone laser welding machines
Complete, CE-certified laser welding cells from LPKF. Laser, control, cooling and clamping in one laser class 1 housing, ready for series production.
Stand-alone machines at Plastima
A stand-alone system contains everything needed to weld: laser source, control, cooling and clamping technology in one laser class 1 housing. The operator loads the part, the machine does the rest. Especially for low and mid volume production this is the most practical set-up.
All systems run on LPKF WeldOS and can be extended with TherMoPro for 100% thermographic inline inspection of the weld seam. Plastima supplies, installs and services the machines and tests your application in advance at the Tech Center in Breda.
PowerWeld 3600 – compact cell with rotary table
 |
Compact stand-alone laser welding machine for small to medium components, with a servo-electric rotary table for higher output: loading happens outside the welding cell while welding continues inside. The PowerWeld 3600 is the successor to the well-known PowerWeld 2600. All components sit in a single CE-compliant laser class 1 housing. The double-clamp module welds two parts in one cycle; combined with a safety light curtain this raises the output rate by around 25 percent. Technical features:

PowerWeld 3D 8000 – large 3D components
 |
High-performance system for laser welding the largest 3D plastic components: up to 1,000 × 750 mm with 400 mm height variation. Applications include tail lights, dashboards and battery modules for electric vehicles. The system uses a fibre laser with LPKF Wobble-Weld: during quasi-simultaneous welding, additional amplitudes are superimposed onto the laser beam orthogonal to the feed direction. Weld seam width is adjustable between 1 and 5 mm with a particularly homogeneous temperature distribution, giving a short cycle time and a robust process. Eight independent servo drives clamp bottom-up up to 20 kN and compensate local tolerances; integrated melt travel monitoring safeguards quality. Technical features:

ATA – welding absorbing to absorbing plastics
 |
Until now laser transmission welding required a transmissive upper part. With ATA technology (Absorbing to Absorbing) LPKF joins two laser-absorbing plastics. That brings the advantages of laser welding — process stability, cleanliness, localised energy input and fast cycle times — to a far wider range of materials, colours and properties. The compact stand-alone machine moves and clamps the part quickly (patent pending) for optimised cycle times, and controls the process before welding via TherMoPro and during clamping on force and melt travel. Technical features:

| Laser power | from 2 to 4 lasers |
| Laser welding working field [mm] | up to 400 × 300 (larger on request) |
| Clamping force | up to 14 kN |
| Process control | TherMoPro before welding; force and melt travel during clamping |
| Software | LPKF WeldOS for scanner control, traceability, monitoring and contour management |
