The CGT-RW-2000 Laser Welding Machine is engineered to precisely weld medical balloon polymer tubing, including balloon-to-catheter and catheter-to-catheter welding. Utilizing advanced laser technology, it ensures exceptional stability and efficiency throughout the process.

Laser Rotation vs. Product Rotation: Traditional welding of polymer tubing typically involves rotating the material while the laser remains fixed. However, due to the inherent characteristics of the tubing—such as bending, complex assembly, and susceptibility to misalignment—this approach often leads to issues like incomplete welds, over-welding, and irregular weld patterns. The laser rotation method, with a stationary product, addresses these challenges effectively. Utilizing precision mirrors to control the laser path, combined with a high-precision motor, ensures stable, circular laser emission, achieving optimal welding precision, stability, and simplicity.

Pre-Weld Positioning and Post-Weld Inspection: Polymer tubing and balloon welding demand precise pre-weld positioning, accurate welding trajectory control, and strict adherence to post-weld appearance and quality standards. Traditional methods often require extensive operator training and may result in inconsistent alignment and inspection. By integrating CCD technology for both pre-weld positioning and post-weld inspection, a fully automated solution is achieved, ensuring consistent, accurate, and reliable welding processes.

Energy Monitoring and Automatic Compensation: Laser energy attenuation and fluctuations in the optical path are common challenges in high-precision production. The energy spectral detection function addresses these issues by providing real-time feedback on welding energy, making it both visible and controllable. Additionally, automatic energy compensation ensures that a consistent set of parameters is maintained, enhancing process stability and ensuring consistent weld quality.

Upper Computer Communication: The upper computer communication capability ensures seamless integration with systems, enabling real-time monitoring and control via a centralized interface. This enhances production efficiency and transparency. It supports data storage and analysis, facilitating long-term optimization and intelligent management of machines and equipment.
