Leister is on the forefront of plastic laser welding and specializes in micro-welding for medical, sensor, electronics, and automotive applications.

Plastic welding requires parts with different absorption indexes (but not necessarily different colors).   Typically the laser passes through the first material and is absorbed by the second.  Heat generated at the interface of the two parts creates a weld along the bond line.  This is called transmission welding.  The advantage of laser welding over other plastic joining methods is the absence of fumes and particle emissions. 

The Novolas Laser Welding system is available in three configurations: C, S, and M.  The Novolas C is designed for contour welding.  A focused laser beam scans along the contour of the bond line.  This is the most flexible weld method.  The weld geometry is freely selectable, enabling the user to program set-ups for different shaped parts.

The Novolas S is designed for simultaneous welding.  This system employs special optics which focus the laser beams over the entire bond line simultaneously, resulting in shorter cycle times.

The Novolas M is designed for precise micro-welding.  The use of a micro-welding mask allows exact placement of the weld.  Weld lines as narrow as 100µ are possible with this system.  The mask can also accommodate weld lines of different widths and shapes.
