In the medical device manufacturing world, there is zero room for error. The ALQ has emerged as the premier Laser Class I welding cell for the medical sector. It combines the sterile, enclosed environment required for medical production with the surgical precision needed for life-saving technology.

Key Attributes of the ALQ for medical welding:

• Micro Precision: With a spot size as small as .004″ (0.1mm), the ALQ is ideal for welding implants, cardiovascular devices, and surgical instruments without compromising structural integrity.

• Process Validation: An integrated camera records pictures and video of the welding process, providing essential “video proof” for quality assurance and regulatory audits.

• Clean & Controlled: The fully enclosed Class I housing and integrated start-stop fume extraction ensure a clean working environment, essential for maintaining the hygiene standards of medical components.

• Secure Parameters: To maintain validated processes, managers can lock out parameter changes at the touch screen, ensuring that operators cannot deviate from the approved “recipe.”

• Smart Recipes: Use the scanning feature to read bar codes or QR codes on work orders, instantly recalibrating the ALQ to the correct validated recipe.

• Seamless Automation: Built-in I/O and side-housing slots allow for robot pick-and-place integration, perfect for high-volume production of orthopedic implants or surgical instruments.

• Teach Mode: The Teach Mode in X/Y/Z/R allows for complex geometries to be programmed quickly via WINLaserNC—no complex G-codes required.

• Fiber Power Options: Available in 150, 300, 450, and 600 Watts, giving you the flexibility to weld a wide variety of applications.

Versatility: From Automated Runs to Manual Rework

The medical industry often requires the ability to switch between long production runs and specialized manual rework. By using the optional ALPHA LASER 2D video glasses, engineers can perform manual welding tasks for R&D or single-piece repairs with the door open (utilizing additional safety measures). This flexibility makes the ALQ an all-in-one workstation for the entire product lifecycle.

Clean, Safe, and Scalable

The fully enclosed Class I housing and integrated start-stop fume extraction ensure a clean working environment, essential for maintaining the hygiene standards of medical components. Whether you are welding surgical instruments or orthopedic implants, the ALQ provides a stable, validated environment for any welding application.

Technical Specifications at a Glance

The ALQ is the perfect “bridge” machine. It allows you to automate your most repetitive tasks today while remaining flexible enough to handle unique, manual repairs tomorrow. If you’re looking to increase your throughput without the headache of complex CNC coding, the ALQ is your competitive edge for the new year.

The ALW is engineered to be a workhorse in your standard production environment. Its defining feature is the Class 1 laser-proof enclosure. This fully enclosed housing creates a safe, laser-protected workspace, allowing for seamless integration into your facility without the need for extensive, costly additional safety measures.

The powerful capabilities of the ALW mean you can confidently weld:

• Aluminum
• Titanium
• Medical Alloys
• Precious Metals
• And many other sensitive or demanding materials.

Say goodbye to strain and fatigue. The ALW is designed as a comfortable, seated workstation, ensuring your operators can maintain maximum focus and productivity throughout an entire shift. The spacious, closed working chamber offers ample room to maneuver workpieces up to 350 kg, blending ergonomic design with industrial-grade capacity.

Choose Your Power Source: YAG or Fiber

The versatility of the ALW starts with its laser source options, allowing you to tailor the system to your specific application needs:

The ALW demonstrates its many strengths in key applications, including:

• Repair Welding

• Manufacture of Tools and Molds

• Production of Medical Components and Sensors

• Precision Technology

• Sheet Metal Processing

Ideal Applications for the ALM:

• Tool & mold repair (injection molds, pressing tools)
• Machine component maintenance
• Cast repair
• Precision engineering
• On-site welding for large, non-transportable parts

Watch demo:

With its extremely short set-up times and mobility, the ALM laser welder allows a vast range of machine components, pressing tools and large molds to be repaired and modified at any location.

True Mobility and Flexibility

The ALM offers maximum flexibility by adapting to your workflow: you can bring the laser to the workpiece, or the workpiece to the laser. In many cases, this negates the need to dismantle large molds, saving significant time and effort. The ALM ensures seamless mobility whether operating within your company or at a customer’s facility.

Fast Setup and Ergonomic Reach

The laser is ready for use within minutes. The slim laser arm can be quickly positioned and fixed in the desired working location using electrohydraulic brakes. Once in position, these hydraulic brakes fix the laser beam exactly where you need it.

To reach virtually any point on the workpiece without requiring arduous maneuvering, the ALM is equipped with a laser head that can rotate left and right. Further enhancing its reach, the unique, optional turn and tilt objective allows the user to continuously move the laser beam up to 40∘ from the vertical in any direction. Focusing lenses with various focal distances and a rotatable microscope further facilitate economical and comfortable working.

Advanced Control and Operation

The ALM allows for versatile welding control: you can weld manually with the joystick, semi-automatically, or via an external operating unit with a pulse function.

The laser device is equipped with a powerful, application-optimized SPC (System Parameter Control) featuring new functions. The user coordinate control is programmable within a generous range of $50\times 50\text{ mm}$.

Finally, the ALM simplifies maintenance and setup because it is air cooled, meaning it requires no additional external cooling system.

Ad-on options:

• Turn and tilt objective
• Rotary axis module with chuck, tiltable, for horizontal to vertical rotation
• External operating unit (remote control)
• TV system for demonstrating and observing the welding process
• Ergo wedge

In this video, you’ll learn:

• The challenges of welding stainless steel to copper.
• How to adjust parameters to avoid cracking.
• How ALPHA LASER’s recommended settings help you get started faster.

Why this matters?

• Copper molds transfer heat very efficiently but wear out quickly because copper is soft.
• By adding stainless steel along the parting line, the mold’s lifetime is significantly extended.

For this kind of application, we recommend the AL-Flak (from video), ALM & AL-IN laser welders.
