The delivery of optical fiber The term “laser welder” refers to a particular type of laser welding apparatus that links a high energy laser beam into an optical fiber, collimates to parallel light by means of a collimating lens following long distance transmission, and then focuses on the work piece to be joined. High-energy lasers are used in fiber laser welding to produce the heat needed for welding.
The laser beam is sent by an optical fiber cable to the laser head, which then directs it to the surface. This creates a molten pool along the joining path of the items, which leads to fusion after solidification. When the energy from a light source or an electrical current is absorbed by the electrons in the atoms of optical materials like glass, crystal, or gas, a laser is produced.
The additional energy “excites” the electrons to the point where they switch from one orbit around the atom’s nucleus to another orbit with a higher energy. Fiber lasers have demonstrated effectiveness in a variety of laser applications, including laser cleaning, laser marking, and laser welding.
The Global Optical Fiber Transmitting Laser Welding Machine Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
LANXESS: A new laser transmission welding device for the advancement of plastics The trend of more powerful driver assistance systems being installed in modern vehicles is significantly boosting the demand for plastic housings to house electronic elements and components such sensors, antennas, and control units.
As a connecting technique used in the creation of these housings, laser transmission welding is growing in popularity. LANXESS is therefore modernizing its technical center in Dormagen, Germany, to incorporate a laser welding machine from Poly Merge GmbH, a manufacturer of cutting-edge welding machines for plastics situated in Gerets ried, Germany.
This machine features a wide range of equipment and cutting-edge technology. They hope to create novel laser welding materials and have them ready for production more quickly with the help of this incredibly adaptable technology. They will also be able to simulate the production environment of our customers, enabling them to assist them more rapidly and with more precision.
A laser beam is used in laser transmission welding to cut through a laser-transparent component. Following the absorption of the beam by the second component, which is typically carbon black, the energy of the beam causes localized melting on the surface of the second component. The initial component’s surface is also plasticized by the heat produced throughout the operation.
For example, LANXESS has already created test specimens that may be used to establish the wall thickness of the translucent component and replicate common conditions during the laser transmission welding of small and large electronics housings.
