Laser Plastics Welding

High quality welds for plastic components

plastic_welding_img_web.jpgHigh quality laser welding for plastic components is achieved in a process know as quasi-simultaneous welding where the laser beam is guided along the welding path by a high speed scanner.  Cencorp incorporates state of the art laser and scanning components into both stand-alone and in-line platforms.  These easy to use systems are designed to handle the demands of high volume industrial applications.  All workstations can be equipped with diode and fiber laser sources of different power levels depending on the application requirements.  Monitoring of the welding process and quality assurance features are included in Cencorp’s laser welding systems, further enhancing the reliability of the laser welding process.  The modular concept of Cencorp workstations combined with multiple laser options makes it easy to configure solutions based on customer specific needs. Further, custom-built systems can be delivered based on scanner technology or industrial robots and linear axes for the contour welding applications.

Fast and flexible plastics welding

The stand-alone 800 QS is a versatile workstation for various laser plastics welding applications. The wide front door allows loading of large parts and the progress of the welding can be observed through a window. The 800 QS-R is well suited for high production volumes. The 2-station rotary index table minimizes idle time for the laser as the operator can change material on one station while the other station is being processed.  The 500 QS is an in-line workstation for fully automated high volume production. The workstation is integrated to a production line where products on palettes are moved by conveyor into the workstation for welding. A universal clamping device minimizes the requirements for product specific tooling. The

product specific fixtures can be easily changed including the product specific part of the clamping device. This enables fast change-over times from known products to another. The system can be equipped with various laser powers and optical configurations in order to achieve the required setup for the application.
