A new compact tabletop laser welding systemdesigned for easy integration into a production line, or for standalone use within manufacturing cells, is being introduced by HORIZON INSTRUMENTS at MedTec UK.

Tabletop laser specialists

The cost-efficient tabletop laser, modular NOVOLAS BASIC AT COMPACT system utilises fibre-coupled diode laser optics developed by laser welding specialists Leister Process Technologies, who are represented in the UK and Ireland by Horizon Instruments.

Leister laser welding systems enable the joining of intricate plastic components and can therefore provide important opportunities for the low cost development of components, production methods and techniques used within the plastics industry, which includes the automotive, electronics, FMCG, healthcare and medical device sectors.

Role in numerous manufacturing applications

With plastic fabrications playing an ever-increasing role in numerous high-volume manufacturing applications, compact and affordable tabletop laser systems such as the Novolas Basic AT meet the challenges of providing effective and versatile joining methods and offer important features and benefits.

For example, outstanding micron precision, emission and particulate free processing, optimum weld strength, high reproducibility as well as minimal mechanical and thermal stress.

A key feature of the Novolas Basic AT Compact tabletop laser system is that it is air-cooled as opposed to being water cooled, which results in a more compact and lower cost system with overall dimensions of 483mm x 500mm x 267mm (WxDxH).

The tabletop laser system includes a fibre-coupled laser module with an optical power of 40W.This makes it particularly suited for use with Leister’s standard spot or GLOBO optic which can be used for welding applications requiring low energy input.
