Munich/Germany, July 30, 2015: ROFIN continues the MPS laser workstation success. Its wide range of applications is extended by fusing of polymers. The system is based on the market-leading MPS
laser workstation and the DILAS Compact Evolution laser sources and comes with application-specific
control software.

The recent years have seen a continuously increasing demand for light-weight components made of
polymers. For this reason fusing of polymers in complete system solutions with diode lasers has
become more and more important. ROFIN already covers a considerable share of this expanding
market with its DILAS diode lasers. However, more and more customers are asking for complete laser
polymer fusion solutions.

Goal-driven development

The polymer fusion system is either sold as a turnkey machine or as a functional kit consisting of laser, clamping unit and software for process control. Within less than a year the new polymer fusion
solutions are already turning out to be a great success.

HMI and clamping specifically designed for polymer fusion

The systems are equipped with a special human machine interface for polymer fusion and a work piece clamping unit working with either a pneumatic or a servo clamping drive, manufactured to the customer's specific requirements. The control software for the joining process has been specially developed for polymer fusion applications e.g. to deliver a setting signal and level for process control and quality assurance. Data can be logged for process statistics and quality management.

Based on state-of-the-art components

The polymer fusion solution is based on ROFIN's MPS, a production proven, multi-purpose laser
workstation with a multitude of installations worldwide. It houses a DILAS Compact Evolution laser,
operating with 980 nm or 880 nm wavelength and a cw power of 150 - 500W. A pyrometric process
control allows for a constant welding temperature and hence optimized results.

The most flexible platform for challenging applications

With the recently extended MPS family, consisting now of the MPS Compact, MPS Flexible, MPS Rotary and MPS Advanced, ROFIN looks forward to creating truly outstanding solutions for challenging
polymer laser fusion applications in the near future.
