The "Modula" machine components offer all modules necessary for a welding process of plastics by laser.
The modules can be integrated into a specific unique machine for plastic welding with laser by an internal or external special machine builder. The modules are optimally matched to each other and to the parts to be welded, so that only the part handling and machine safety need to be engineered.
The possible Modula components for integration are:
- Laser unit with different powers and wavelengths
The laser unit also includes the control unit for process control and a touch screen with user interface to set up the process. Connections for customer interface, safety interlock and emergency stop allow easy integration into an overall system. In addition, as with the Turnkey S, additional keyboard, mouse and monitor can be connected via USB and HDMI, as well as a connection to a network via Ethernet for data exchange or remote maintenance via the Internet
- Optics with different beam shapes
The optics are also modular again, so that different process types are possible. From a simple spot optics for contour process, to scanners for quasi-simultaneous welding, to special optics such as ring optics for simultaneous welding, radial optics for circumferential welding, ball or roller optics for contour process without clamping unit, or line optics for mask welding are possible.
- Clamping unit
The clamping unit presses the plastic components to be welded together during the welding process. This clamping can be pneumatic or electrical and monitored by additional sensors.
- Motion system
Linear axes in x-, y- or z-direction can be used as motion system or a scanner, which can move the laser beam very fast in a welding plane for quasi-simultaneous welding process. The contour is controlled directly in the laser unit and does not require any additional control.
