At Compamed 2011, ROFIN showcased the latest developments in laser material processing. The focus was on manual laser welding and high-precision cutting with ultra short pulse femto / fiber laser sources for medical device manufacturing.
Within a few months, ROFIN's newly designed manual welding laser in the 7th generation “Performance” has successfully established in the market. A lineup of new weld-assist systems and the entirely redesigned housing make every-day work easier and faster than ever before. With PulseRamping and BURSTmode even the finest weldings, for instance minuscule guide wire tips, are executed with absolute reliability.
The MPS (Modular Processing System) offers a perfect platform for customer-tailored laser welding, cutting, drilling, structuring and marking solutions. A pneumatic lift door provides access to a spacious working chamber, large enough even for bulky medical instruments, trays or workpiece-fixtures. There is a choice of four motion systems, from a
basic z-axis up to granite setups with utmost precision. The integrated laser garage accommodates a wide spectrum of laser sources, comprising femto, fiber, solid state and diode lasers.
Femto second laser solutions by ROFIN are arousing more and more interest among medical device manufacturers. With almost cold cutting at utmost precision, femto second lasers offer impressive advantages when cutting innovative materials like bioresorbable stents made of magnesium alloys or polymers. Post-processing steps, which dramatically reduce production yield or which require costly manual work, become obsolete.
