Industrial Systems

Branson has two new Laser IRAM assembly systems -- Models 200 and 300. Branson Laser IRAM Assembly Systems are based on passing light/laser radiation through one plastic component (transmissive component) and absorbing the energy at the weld interface, either by designing the second component to be absorptive, or by adding an absorptive material at the interface. This absorption results in the heating and melting of the interface, and with the application of a controlled clamp force the parts are joined. The major breakthrough in Laser IRAM technology is the ability to illuminate the entire welding surface simultaneously as compared to other techniques that rely on scanning of the weld joint.
