ExactWeld IP is the easiest way to integrate plastic welding into a production line and subsequently produce welds in large quantities without impurities and deformations. There is no easier way to weld plastics in production.
Why is ExactWeld IP integration so easy? Primarily because it includes everything you need for the actual welding process - a high-power diode laser source, a galvanometric laser beam distribution system, high-precision part clamping mechanics and all associated control electronics and software interfaces. So all you have to worry about is integrating Coherent ExactWeld IP technology into your production. And that's easy, because it's also available with adapters for conveyor belt, turntable or robotic arm part loading.
The power is on your side
Once up and running, the ExactWeld IP produces perfect welds. All the time. This is thanks in part to the clamping system, which offers a huge range of clamping forces (100 N - 4500 N), as well as automatic part collapse height measurement and closed-loop clamping control. This means consistent, high-quality welds even when there are variations between parts or other process variations.
In addition, many other options are available to help ensure weld quality. These include thermal imaging inspection for automatic detection of welding defects, an integrated vision system for part detection or offset correction, and an automatic laser power calibration module to increase stability and consistency throughout the process.
In addition, the ExactWeld IP system will not slow down your line during production changes. You can change the fixtures for processing different parts simply by placing the new fixture directly into the parts bin - for example, on a conveyor belt. The ExactWeld IP system picks it up, installs it, reads the RFID tag on the fixture, and then immediately and automatically adjusts the process pattern, mechanical shifts, or other product-specific configurations.
Unparalleled support
ExactWeld IP is a great tool for welding plastics and polymers. However, implementing laser welding into your production requires more than just quality hardware. It usually involves process development, optimizing process recipes and designing custom fixtures to ensure controlled and homogeneous pressure throughout the welding area. Coherent is your partner in all of these areas. Our well-equipped application laboratories and qualified personnel will guide you from feasibility analysis, through process and tool development to installation and training. We are with you every step of the way, and our global service and support team is always available if you need us.
