The K3642 laser integration module optimized for clean room class 7 and GMP grade C allows laser transmission welding to be integrated into existing facilities. Connecting the K3642 by bielomatik to automated production lines and facilities, such as conveyor belts, rotary discs, etc., is also comparatively simple.
The laser unit is just 300 mm wide and offers both high installation flexibility and very good accessibility. The supply unit with laser source, control cabinet and pneumatic equipment can be installed remotely from the laser integration module. Connection via Profibus, Profinet, Ethernet or RS232 interfaces also ensures flexibility. Remote maintenance options are possible. The module can be equipped with either a diode or fiber laser in the performance range 25W to 300W (continuous wave, not taking into account the power reserve of approx. 20%) at the fiber optic termination. Intuitively operated via touch panel and visualization software, all process variables can be monitored and adjusted by setting their target levels and upper and lower limits. Retaining force, laser power and scanning speed can be controlled dynamically. Process data can be archived on a network drive, an SD card or a USB stick.
For high productivity and quality
The clamping and fixturing system consists of a pneumatic pressure cylinder and a two-column precision guide. Two points of rotation are used to position the clamping bracket and support for the mask exactly parallel to the capture tool. The clamping system uses reference-based position measurement with an accuracy of either 0.001mm or 0.01mm to facilitate the component/cover request and thus prevents unnecessary waste. During welding, the sinking depth is monitored exactly. The tool can be changed manually in approx. five minutes. This and the tool coding with automatic recognition and selection of the relevant production program benefit high productivity.
The laser welding method meets very high requirements for tight, particle-free and clean welded connections. A flow-optimized, easy-clean stainless steel hood encloses the laser welding integration module and covers encapsulate lubricated parts of the machine, as well as those parts that emit particles. The plastic joining specialist from Neuffen offers all standard welding methods and the K3642 laser module now completes this comprehensive product range.
