AXIALSCAN FIBER-50

ON THE POINT - THE SMALLEST SPOT SIZES FOR THE LARGEST FIELDS

WHAT THE AXIALSCAN FIBER-50 CAN DO FOR YOU:

Many laser beam deflection units can weld and cut – but only a handful can do so “on the fly”. The AXIALSCAN FIBER-50 (AS F-50) ensures that the laser process is highly dynamic and precise, even when the workpiece is passing under the deflection unit at varying speed.

This puts the AXIALSCAN FIBER-50 in a class of its own for you as a machine manufacturer, commercial vehicle manufacturer, shipbuilder or rail vehicle manufacturer. The pre-focussing deflection unit can, among other things, separate the contours of electrical connection surfaces (tabs) on batteries with precision during the foil winding process. This benefit is possible thanks to the pulsed laser beam – highly dynamic with position accuracy – that is directed from the AXIALSCAN FIBER-50 deflection unit onto the workpiece.

Another ingenious feature of the AS F-50 is that it works with the smallest spot size on processing field sizes of between 300 x 300 mm and 850 x 850 mm. This makes the pre-focussing deflection unit the no. 1 choice for seamless laser processing – and for ensuring sharp edges without noticeable heat affected zones when separating electrode foils. Another area of application is the welding of bipolar plates for fuel cells with very thin, stainless steel plates with a thickness of less than 100 μm and a complex capillary structure. For this purpose, the AS F-50 uses a high level of position accuracy and creates fine weldseams with stable penetration depth to prevent damage to the bipolar plate.

SOPHISTICATED INTERFACE MANAGEMENT:

The AXIALSCAN FIBER-50 can be equipped with various fibre sockets – including a QD socket (LLK-D) – making it compliant with the strict regulatory requirements in the automotive industry. In combination with protection rating 64, it stands for the very best in process reliability.

FLEXIBILITY THAT YOU CAN SEE:

Thanks to its structural design and compact dimensions, the AXIALSCAN FIBER-50 deflection unit with integrated collimator is easily integrated into existing machine configurations.

The horizontally arranged QBH interface – which can alternatively be implemented as QD – prevents the entry of dust particles when the laser fibre is connected. A second protective window that can be replaced in a matter of seconds minimizes maintenance. This increases productivity and process reliability.
