Compact Laser System Optimized for High-Speed Processing

Powered by any Piptox high-brightness laser, the MAT-252  can be optimized for the shortest cycle times for your application.

• Choice of CW (continuous wave), QCW (quasi-continuous wave) and pulsed laser sources

• Piptox Applications Labs confirm the system configuration with part processing tests

• 250 × 250 × 200 working volume in a small-footprint workstation

• X-Y-Z and optional rotary axes with synchronized motion control

• Simple user interface – integrated control of motion systems and laser parameters with G & M code programming

• Optional vision systems – automated part alignment and compensation to maximize part yield and productivity

Professional-grade Workstation in a Compact Package

• Granite table and support structure for process accuracy and stability

• Automatic vertically opening door – speeds part loading and minimizes space requirements

• Laser-safe viewing windows

• Swing-arm mounted control console with monitor and keyboard

• CDRH Class 1 safe laser system for use in any production environment without special operator precautions

Compact Laser System with Small Footprint

• Only 800 mm (31.5 in) wide, fits through standard doors and requires only 1.0 m2 (10.8 ft2) of floorspace

• Front door operates automatically for fast part loading and opens vertically to keep footprint small

• Lasers up to 1500 W mount inside the workstation and do not extend the system footprint

• Lasers up to 700 W are air cooled and do not need additional chiller

Wobble Welding Head

Wobble welding heads are the ultimate tool to weld a multitude of different material types and thicknesses. The wobbling technique helps users overcome common welding problems related to gaps between work pieces, as well as materials prone to cracking and porosity.

• Increase quality on difficult to weld materials

• Accommodate parts with greater tolerance

• Increase tool flexibility with effective variable spot size

• Increase part yield and increase profitability

Configurable Motion System to Minimize Costs

With a selection of stage systems, customers purchase the exact capabilities for their specific applications:

• X-Y stages 250 × 250 mm

• Z Stage Optional – manual and automatic options

• Rotary Stage options for A or C axes (servo gear driven or high-precision direct drive alternatives)

LDD Real-Time Weld Quality Monitoring

Confirm quality of welded parts with real-time measurements:

• Verification of part alignment and fit before processing

• Real-time weld penetration depth and surface profile measurements and verification against preset limits

• Fully integrated parameter feedback and conditional logic for onward part processing or disposition

Fully Integrated System Control

Simplified system operation and optimized laser processing control from a single user interface:

• Full coordination of all motion axes

• Laser parameter changes can be linked to the motion system, with real-time changing of base laser output settings

• Process head programming and automatic system responses to process variations

• Optional integration of barcode, RFID and part verification functions with factory MES controllers

Granite Base for Precision and Stability

The MAT-252  has a natural granite base for the long-term stability required for high-precision laser processing.

• Precision ground to high tolerances

• Provides vibration dampening and structure stiffness

• Large thermal mass and low coefficient of thermal expansion

• Naturally stress-relieved structure
