Welding fluidic parts cleanly and precisely by laser

Various fluidic parts must be tightly welded in medical applications without creating impurities such as particles. Lasers can be used to join such parts precisely and even with complex channel geometries.

Pro-ball and Pro-wheel optics - flexible welding of films for smaller batch sizes by laser without clamping unit

With ball and wheel optics, flexible plastic parts can be welded without a clamping unit. The ball or roller focuses the laser on the plastic parts and also presses them together. The technique is used for flexible materials such as films, membranes, or technical textiles.

Ready-to-use Turnkey machines for plastic welding by laser

The "Turnkey S" is the smallest ready-to-use machine for laser welding of plastics. With its flexibility based by modularity, it is unique on the market in its compact size. The "Turnkey M" complements the compact Turnkey S for larger plastic parts.

Diagnostic cartridges cleanly and precisely welded by laser

For the diagnosis of diseases, cartridges with fluidic channels for patient sample and reagents are used quickly and close to the patient (point-of-care) instead of in large central laboratories. The channels must be sealed tightly and cleanly, for which laser welding has proven successful.

Laser plastic welding: consulting, lab tests, small series

Laser welding of plastics, like any joining technique, has its own design rules to achieve good and reliable joints. Additionally to machines, ProByLas also offers support on the design of the plastic parts to weld in order to apply the laser process optimally.

About us

ProByLas AG specializes in welding of plastic parts by laser as a crossover production technology for various industries such as medical, electronics, sensors, automotive all the way to textiles.

Ready-for-use "Turnkey" machines are offered on the one hand and "Modula" machine components on the other, which can be integrated into a special machine by a machine builder.

Thanks to the modular design, the machines can be configured to suit the parts to be welded and the customer's requirements. Different lasers, optics for beam shaping, motion systems and clamping units are available and are configured by us for your welding task.

The optics for beam shaping are also modular again, so that different process types are possible:

  • contour process with a spot optic, which can optionally be equipped with a pyrometer for non-contact temperature measurement,
  • quasi-simultaneous process with galvo scanner and sensors on clamping unit to detect the setting path during welding,
  • simultaneous process by special optics converting the laser beam into the geometry of the weld seam as e.g. ring optics, line optics, areal optics or diffractive optics (DOE),
  • circumferential welding with radial optics or by rotating the parts under spot optics,
  • welding by ball optics of foils, technical textiles or thin plates without clamping unit,
  • mask welding with line optics, which is passed over a shadow mask above the parts.

To test and evaluate the best welding process and machine for specific customer parts, tests with customer materials and parts are offered in the application laboratory. Welding trials with prototypes up to small series production before machine delivery are possible.

ProByLas AG was founded in 2017 as a start-up with a long-time experience in plastic welding. The first machine types were presented in 2018 and introduced into the market.
