20.04.2020 Assembly technology using laser welding

Spring and Contact connected by laser welding

Due to the tool concept, both parts are provided as bulk goods in the conveyor and positioned by means of robots and welded by means of lasers (laser welding technology).
The integral connection guarantees minimal contact resistance as well as consistent quality over the entire life time.

15.07.2019 Stamping/ Progessive Die Technology

Endless or strip sections, bending technology for rack electroplating or laser strips

A lack of skilled workers and increasing numbers in the prototype phase have led us to design and build a machine for endless belt and/ or strip sections.

This enables us to produce reliable small batches for our customers.

Laser cut for flexible customer requirements in cutting geometry, stamping and bending technology as in series production.

In addition: Everything naturally measured on our KEYENCE IM 6125 including statistical evaluation.

Typically quantities of 5,000 to 500,000 parts/ set per year.

01.06.2019 Adjustment of customer-specific parts, EloPin feed in the pre-punching tape

Individual feed for multiple press-in zones with double plugs or in the comb
(executed here using EloPin)

  • Provision: Pre-punched press-in zone made from customer-specific pre-punching tape,
  • Laser-cut customer connectors:
    • Press-in zone from pre-punched tape measured on laser machine (to eliminate feed errors,...),
    • individual connectors laser-cutted,
    • Puzzle geometry at an individual distance of the press-fit zone,
  • installation of a second press-fit zone using a cutting plate in simple punching tool,
  • Laser welding of the second, installed press-in zone,
  • electroplating complete Ni, selective EloPin (Sn) and connector (Ag/ Ag),
  • bend and separate in strip tool (manual or automatic).

20.07.2018 CNC-Laser Welding Technology

Inhouse developed CNC-Laser Welding Machine

Increasing quality requirements in laser welding technology have prompted us to develop our own CNC laser welding machine.

Follwing: laser welding process of press-fit aeres in customer-specific distances.
Your advantage: No conversion costs for high-precision punching tools are required.
