Compact, efficient, and cost-effective—such are the development requirements placed on laser welding systems for plastics by the current economic climate.
Leister Technologies AG from Kaegiswil, Switzerland, approaches the trend moving towards compact laser welding systems for plastics with their latest system, Novolas TTS (Table Top System). The flexible programmable system is well suited for production.
The compact design of Novolas TTS includes all necessary components for laser welding of plastics. The laser unit and processing cell can be separated from one another, which is how they can save space during production. Even though the processing cell is small, the processing, or welding area is 100 mm x 100 mm.
The system is controlled by a mini-PLC and programmed with Human Machine Interface (HMI) software developed by Leister. The HMI sends the process-relevant data to the system, where the data can then be stored according to project.
The welding contour can be programmed individually in the CNC code, and other parameters such as laser power and speed are easy to set. Once implemented, the system is said to operate autonomously. Input components, such as keyboard and monitor, can be separated from the system for production. On request, the system can be accessed externally from a remote desktop. According to the manufacturer, the compact manual workstation combines the advantages of laser welding for plastics in a cost-efficient system that is easy to program.
