ROFIN Laser Micro - lasers and laser systems for fine weldingStarWeld Diode

No limits

Polymer welding is an industrially mature process with high growth rates. New laser additives now even allow perfect joining of light-colored or transparent parts, opening up new possibilities for the design of electronic components, medical devices or automotive appliances. ROFIN offers a number of lasers that have been optimized to meet the requirements of polymer welding. The most compact of them: StarWeld® Diode.

Cost-effective and versatile

Lasers of the StarWeld® Diode family with their beam characteristics and wavelengths of 808 and 940 nm are especially well qualified for circular welding seams, spot welds and wider welding seams. They are ideal for welding tasks involving transparent laser additives. StarWeld® Diode lasers are also very compact and offer an attractive cost/ performance ratio and very high efficiency. Depending on the task, the flexible fiber can be coupled either to fixed optics or to a scanner head.

Fast switch

StarWeld® Diode lasers combine ROFIN’s established platform technology with Dilas’ market-leading diode technology and patented beam shaping. For fast and easy programming we offer the comfortable LaserCAD software package. A newly developed fast beam switch helps to extend the life-time of the diode lasers. The flexibility of the laser is completed by a number of additional modules and options, like integrated pilot laser or camera monitoring for application set-up, pyrometers or setting-gap measurement for process control, and integrated power monitoring.

Strong partners

Polymers, additives, lasers – successful solutions for laser polymer welding depend on these three essential factors. In partnership with Treffert, ROFIN delivers competent solutions for this promising joining technology. Make use of the technical expertise, application know-how and, last but not least, of the service network of one of the largest laser manufacturers worldwide!
