Product catalog summary
Introduction
Leister, established in 1998, specializes in laser plastic welding and holds several patents in the field. The company is proficient in all standard laser plastic welding techniques.

Laser Welding Principle
Laser welding of thermoplastics involves bonding transparent and absorbent parts. The laser beam penetrates the transparent plastic, converting to heat in the absorbent plastic, causing both materials to melt and bond under pressure. This method is applicable to various thermoplastics and elastomers, maintaining weld seam strength comparable to the base material.

Rotation Welding
The Rotation Optic is designed for welding rotationally symmetric components. It uses a hollow-shaft motor to rotate a cantilever arm, directing the laser beam to create a welding plane. Components must be joined with pressure, typically via a press fit, and the unit can apply up to 1,000 N of force. The optic operates with fiber lasers, allowing adjustable spot diameters and rotation speeds up to 1000 rpm. An optional pyrometer can measure heat in the welding zone.

Technical Specifications
  • Laser Type: Fiber laser
  • Wavelength: 1050 - 1100 nm
  • Laser Power: Up to 200 W
  • Spot Diameter: 0.5 – 5.0 mm
  • Maximum Force: 1000 N
  • Dimensions: 231 x 252 x 616 mm
  • Weight: Approx. 14 kg


Motor and Position Encoder
The motor is a synchronous servo type with a maximum speed of 1000 rpm and a nominal torque of 5 Nm. The position encoder uses an incremental measurement system with a 1 V sin/cos signal.

Operating Conditions
The unit operates in ambient temperatures of 5° to 40°C and humidity levels from 80% at 5° to 31°C, decreasing to 50% at 40°C. It is intended for indoor, low-dust environments.

Contact Information
Leister Technologies AG is headquartered in Switzerland, with subsidiaries and partners worldwide, including in Germany, USA, China, Japan, and India.

Rotation welding ROTATION OPTIC-2

Laser Plastic Welding Established in 1998, the Leister business unit has many years of experience in laser welding of plastics. Leister is the owner of a number of patents (such as Mask or GLOBO welding) and the only company with expertise in all standard laser plastic welding techniques. The principle of laser welding Joining pressure In laser welding of thermoplastics, sometimes referred to as “laser transmission welding” or “through transmission IR welding” (TTIr), transparent and absorbent parts are bonded together. The laser beam penetrates the transparent plastic and is converted to heat...

Rotation welding ROTATION OPTIC-3

Rotation Optic Using simultaneous horizontal deflection and rotor rotation, the beam creates a plane in which shape and position of the welding seam are independent of the diameter of the components. The parts must be centered within the rotation axis in any case. For every deviating deflection, the radiation forms a cone in which the welding seam appears as a wave shape when components are decentered. The last deflection mirror determines the spatial position of the radiation. The mirror can be moved 5° up from the horizontal and around 75° down. This makes it possible to access difficult-to-reach...
