Fine welding for prototypes speeds up R and D
A typical research laboratory often needs to prototype new products as rapidly as possible to reduce the time-to-market of new technology
Small enough to fit into the boot of a car and yet supplying enough power to penetrate through 2mm of steel, the Desktop requires no external water chiller and consumes much less mains electricity than an ordinary electric kettle.
Used in dental laboratories, medical device manufacturing, jewellery workshops and fine mechanical engineering R and D workshops, the laser can be sited on an existing workbench and leased for less than £80 per week.
Spot size and laser parameters are easily adjusted using joysticks inside the working chamber.
The workpiece is viewed using a Leica microscope and the position of the laser weld is precisely set using a fine cross hair.
Laser firing is under the control of a remote footswitch, keeping the hands free to position the parts in the weld area.
After a few minutes basic training, excellent results can be achieved by an inexperienced operator. Request a free brochure from Rofin-Baasel UK ...
