In the booth, the company will highlight the WL-300A, a CDRH Class 1 laser workstation optimised for working with a wide range of metals (CRS, Copper, and Aluminium). The enclosure platform is a basis for a range of different processes. When integrated with a pulsed, nanosecond IR fibre laser (as displayed on the booth), it is ideal for making permanent, machine-readable marks on a variety of materials for tracking and tracing of manufactured components. When integrated with a CW or QCW fibre laser, the laser may also be used for welding electrical components and is a proven technology for battery tab welding, including dissimilar metals. Standard options include an XY table, rotary stage, cover gas module, fume extraction, bar code reader, and camera systems to tailor the machine to your specific processing needs.
Known industry-wide for producing reliable, highly durable resistance welding equipment, AMADA will demonstrate its UB-1500A Low Power Linear DC Micro Spot Welder with the SL-321A Light Force Motorised Electromagnetic Weld Head. This product combination was designed specifically for applications requiring precise positioning and force control resulting in the kinds of robust, repeatable micro-welds commonly required in the medical device manufacturing processes.
Complementary to the resistance welding system will be a live demonstration of the WM-200A IIoT-ready, networked weld monitor. WM-200A collects high-resolution waveform data which can be used for instantaneous comparison of good/bad signals, statistical analysis of the process, and provides a means for manufacturing traceability. AMADA will also show a range of other handheld and desktop weld process monitoring solutions to aid in production.
Finally on display is the SIGMA LS Laser Micromachining Subsystem, a femtosecond laser-integrated micromachining module designed for high-precision processing versatility and straightforward integration. The small form factor makes SIGMA LS ideal for machine builders and system integrators, as well as contract manufacturers, job shops, and R&D laboratories.
