Modular Solutions for Laser Plastic Welding precise & concise clean & green

modular ready-to-use machines Plastic parts for welding show a large variety of forms and geometries. To cope with this variety and to meet a wide diversity of customer preferences, our machines are designed in a strictly modular way. The Turnkey machines are configured in our modular design framework according to your requirements. Therefore they are precisely adaptable to the processing of your plastic parts. All lasers, optics, clamping units, and motion systems from our Modula product portfolio (see page 5-7) are available in the Turnkey systems. A drawer or rotary table can be selected for...

modular ready-to-use machines The Turnkey M is a ready-to-use machine for larger components (up to half a meter). It is designed as a workstation that can be operated standing or sitting position. Like the Turnkey S, it has a modular design and can be configured in different versions to suit the workpieces to be welded as well as the customer‘s requirements. The laser and the control system are located in the lower part of the Turnkey M, so that in the upper part the welding area with clamping unit, motion system, and optics can be optimally accessed. For setting up the welding area can be reached...

For integration in special-purpose machines we offer the same modules separately as you can find in our Turnkey machines. We also provide the necessary support for your internal machine building department or for an external specialist. Laser units and optics are required for any integration. Additionally, we supply clamping units and motion systems. With all relevant modules coming from ProByLas, they can seamlessy work together of an optimal welding process. The machine building department or an external special machine builder only needs to ensure sufficient enclosure including safety and...

Optics The optics are designed modular as well. Besides the primary employed spot optics, other optics for specific process types can be utilized for special applications. The fiber connector module with collimation lens and the beam shaping elements are connected to the base body from the top and bottom. Fiber connector & collimation Depending on the type of laser different fiber connections are needed. The collimation lens shapes a parallel beam. With different focal lengths of the lens, various diameters of the laser beam are possible. Optics base body For the base body of the optics, a simple...

Motion In order to track the weld contour with the laser beam there are different options. They are closely related to the type of welding process. Scanner The scanner is a combination of optics and motion system. Two pivoting mirrors deflect the laser beam in x- and y-direction. With the small mass and inertia of the moving mirrors, high speeds of several meters per second are possible enabling a quasi-simultaneous process type with multiple contour cylces per second. The final focusing lens (f-theta) determines the size of the working area, which can measure 100 x 100 mm, 240 x 240 mm, or 350...

Modula Assemblies specific combinations The Modula Assemblies are predefined compilations of Modula components that already serve specific purposes. They require less integration effort than individual Modula components. Modula Assemblies can even be operated independently as individual assemblies without integration into an overall system. Modula Assembly Lab The Modula Assembly Lab is a combination of a laser unit and a base plate with clamping unit, motion system and optics, suitable for laboratory operation. It is a ready-to-use combination like a Turnkey S or M. Because of the missing housing...

Laser Plastic Welding In the welding process the surfaces of two or more plastic parts are melted and pressed together so that the liquid plastic melts mix. When cooling down, the plastic melt solidifies to yield a strong bond. For welding, the plastics must melt when exposed to heat (thermo-plast). Plastics which do not melt when heated, but degrade or disintegrate, cannot be welded (thermo-set plastics). Process of laser welding In laser plastic welding the heat to melt the plastic is introduced by a laser directly at the weld seam. The workpieces are already pre-mounted in the final position....
