      ALV

      The ALV by ALPHA LASER is a high-performance, fully integrated laser system designed for precise welding and additive manufacturing. Featuring a powerful fiber laser, this versatile machine is equipped for both metal welding and metal-based additive manufacturing, offering exceptional flexibility in industrial applications. Its robust, closed system design ensures safe and efficient operations, protecting both the operator and the workspace from external contamination. The ALV is especially suited for clean room environments and processes requiring medical-grade certifications, ensuring compliance with stringent standards. The system’s doors can be removed for welding larger parts, and it includes a side aperture for the insertion of tubes or thin shafts. With an intuitive control interface and high-quality optics, all housed in a compact and durable chassis, the ALV delivers outstanding results in environments demanding high productivity, reliability, and precision.

    2. ALW

      ALW

      The ALW from ALPHA LASER is a comfortable, ergonomic, and compact laser welding system with a closed housing, allowing it to be used in standard production environments without additional safety precautions. The height-adjustable footplate and variable viewing angle from 10° to 50° enable a customizable working position. The large doors facilitate easy loading, and the system is operated intuitively via a display or the patented multifunction foot switch. The precise joystick controls the X, Y, Z, and R axes for exact movements. The ALW is available in different models, including ALW 200, ALW 300, ALW 300 F, and ALW 450 F, offering varying laser power levels. An optional automatic wire feeder (LAFet) can be installed, and the included ergonomic tube ensures an optimal microscope position. The robust design of the ALW is suitable for both manual and programmed laser welding, including processing materials such as aluminum, precious metals, titanium, and sensitive alloys.

      An­ti­sta­tic mas­ter­batch re­du­ces dust attrac­tion on plas­tics

      Their own high-performance antistatic masterbatch with a long lasting effect, has been further developed by the family business from Blankenhain. The product was introduced at the K 2019. “We have adapted the recipe and optimized it for other carrier materials. Depending on the application and storage conditions, the long-term effect can last up to four years. It occurs immediately after the end product has been manufactured,” explains additive specialist Dr. Carlos Caro, referring to the special feature of the development. “The surface resistance is in the static-dissipative range between 10E6 and 10E9 ohms. These values are very difficult to achieve with other products on the market”. The high-performance antistatic masterbatch has several compelling effects. It avoids the occurrence of sudden discharges, reduces dust attraction on surfaces and minimizes the risk of explosions. “This provides better protection for both staff and sensitive electrical equipment,” says the expert. “The product can be combined with colour masterbatches or fillers as desired by the customer. The lower dosage of 2 to a maximum of 5 percent results in effective cost savings”. In addition, the antistatic substances can also be used as lubricants or demoulding aids. The areas of application for the additive are therefore diverse. “Applications are possible in the areas of film extrusion, injection moulding, blow moulds, staple fibres and nonwovens as well as deep-drawn parts,” explains the expert, but points out that this only applies to the industrial sector. “The high-performance antistatic masterbatch can also be used in the non-food sector for transparent and colourless articles. Applications with food contact or in medical technology are not possible”.
