LuxStar LX-30 Laser Welding System
Advantages of laser welding over conventional techniques:
• decreased distortion
• single-sided welding access
• no mechanical forces applied to the workpiece
• no tool wear yielding consistent weld penetration
LuxStar lasers have been developed to address the full scope of precision spot welding applications, serving the electronics, medical, automotive and fine mechanics markets.
Mid-energy models in the LuxStar portfolio include the LX-30. Options include energy share with either internal or external time share beam delivery systems to obtain welds at multiple locations. The LX-30 model has a WeldPerfect control that engages fully-automated control of the laser output–resulting in high stability–consequently providing consistency in the welding process. The laser pulse parameters are programmed in kilowatts for peak power (and milliseconds for pulse duration). These can be set using an RS232 interface or simply using the front panel control.
Why the LX-30?
• 30J 100Hz 50W
• Reproducible output for consistent weld penetration
• Easy to operate
• Pre-aligned optics
• Automatic compensation for lamp aging
