This compact, ergonomic CNC precision welding machine with up to five axes also enables precise manual welding. A combination that has never been seen before! In just a few simple steps, the machine can be transformed from a fully automatic CNC system into a safe manual welding station.
"In medical technology in particular, we often encounter the tension between quality assurance - combined with the avoidance of the subjective human factor - and the almost impossible automation of some laser welding tasks. This is often coupled with the desire to keep the machine park as small and flexible as possible," says Thomas Kimme, Managing Director of LASERVORM, explaining the challenges facing the industry.
With the LV Flex, LASERVORM has found the perfect solution. The LV Flex is a compact, simply designed, ergonomic CNC precision welding machine with up to five axes, which also enables precise and safe manual welding in particular. A combination that has never been seen before in this form. The machine can be converted from a fully automatic CNC system into a safe manual welding station in just a few simple steps.
When the doors to Medtec Live open in Stuttgart on June 18, the LV Flex will be on display to the public for the first time at booth 518b.
The name LV Flex stands for high flexibility, functionality and adaptability, which are reflected in many ways in the machine's compact dimensions of 895 x 1100 x 1700 mm. In addition to the flexible type of use, the machine impresses with its ergonomic working height adjustment options, flexible operating location and a variable and feature-rich control system. This makes it easy to integrate additional equipment variants and turns it into a true all-rounder in the smallest of spaces.
The LV Flex is not only suitable for medical technology, but also for precision engineering, which has similar requirements. It combines all the advantages of LASERVORM laser machines for these industries. From adaptive processing, both automatic and manual, to the NC-integrated logging function for precise traceability for market surveillance PMS, to MDR-compliant production of customer components thanks to non-contact laser processes, the LV Flex provides good answers to most challenges.
"We will announce the detailed specifications and other features of the machine at the official launch at MedtecLIVE," adds Thomas Kimme.
With the introduction of the LV Flex, LASERVORM is expanding its range of basic machines. This also includes the LV Mini, which is also capable of laser fine cutting and, in the seated version with testing and pre-assembly options, is the ideal companion for medical technology. The LV Midi is the ideal laser system for anyone looking for a high degree of automation when processing components of up to medium dimensions. In addition to laser welding, it also processes a wide range of medical instruments and implants with high and repeatable precision using laser hardening, laser cladding and laser cutting.
LASERVORM can draw on many years of experience with laser processes in medical technology. Laser welding in particular offers many positive characteristics for the processing of fine and sensitive parts. Very fine welding spots or particularly fine welding seams can be achieved with minimal heat input, which reduces distortion to almost zero. This effectively protects the sensitive electronics in active implants, for example. The products remain contamination-free thanks to the non-contact process.
