Dukane, St Charles, IL, has introduced a new laser welding system that allows clear-to-clear plastic welding without the need for laser-absorbing additives. The system incorporates a recently developed 2-μm laser with a greatly increased absorption by clear polymers. The laser enables highly controlled melting through the thickness of optically clear parts. A new beam delivery system integrates both a programmable multi-axes servo gantry and a scan head. LaserLinQTM software harmonizes the action of both components moving the beam, which ensures highly precise and controllable beam delivery when welding mid-size and large components.
