Direct Diode Laser Welder with Temperature Control Function
September 1, 2016
Amada Miyachi America Inc. has announced the availability of the ML-5120A 120-watt direct diode laser (DDL) welder for soldering and plastic welding. With low power consumption and high efficiency, DDL lasers feature localized heating that is designed for small parts welding and manufacturing applications with space limitations. The ML-5120A is equipped with a temperature control function, which requires a separate dedicated unit to control laser output power.
The ML-5120A 120-watt DDL welder directly applies light emitted from laser diodes (LDs) for thermal processing - without passing through a lasing medium, such as Ytterbium (Yb)-doped fiber or Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet). DDL lasers are energy-saving devices that feature low power consumption and high efficiency. The equipment generates an invisible infrared wavelength of 915 nm.
The ML-5120A is suitable for plastic welding. Laser plastic welding is fast and environmentally friendly because the base materials are bonded together, eliminating the need to wait for an adhesive to harden; this also helps to facilitate easy recycling. The machine is also suitable for laser soldering. Its small spot diameter of 0.2 mm enables fine soldering in small areas as well as high-density, small-pitch areas. "In addition, LD direct lasers can perform environmentally friendly lead-free metal soldering," said a company spokesperson.
The ML-5120A may be used with an optical fiber delivery system, including those that feature two energy-sharing delivery cables to improve productivity. The unit is also equipped with a power monitor as standard equipment.
