Miyachi Unitek Corporation, a leading manufacturer of welding equipment and laser processing systems, showcased its fibre laser welding capabilities at the LIA’s Lasers for Manufacturing Event (LME), to be held September 11-12, 2013 at the Schaumburg Convention Center, in Schaumburg, IL, USA.
On display at the booth was Miyachi Unitek’s LF5000 Fiber Laser Welder with Galvo Head, which is ideal for welding small components that require precise control and integration of the laser, tooling and motion. The versatile LF5000 is widely used for welding shafts to sleeves, medical spring attachment, as well as medical component assembly. It is available in either single mode or multi-mode options.
Featuring spot sizes down to 10 microns, the LF series is precise, while maintaining control of pulse width and peak power to enable fine micro welding. Penetration is excellent for high speed seam welding and penetration welding in steels and nickel alloys. Flexible motion platform options include servo motors, linear motors and scan heads, so customers can configure the optimal processing for dimensional accuracy, speed and efficiency.
The entire LF series features compact enclosures that fit well with lean manufacturing practices, and small footprint enclosures are available, along with custom tooling, parts loading and stages/laser accommodation. The ergonomically designed workstation includes adjustment options to increase efficiency and reduce fatigue. A universal fibre laser control interface enables system integration with any fibre laser for optimal welding performance.
