Mack Adds Laser Welding Capacity for Ortho Market Needs

February 14, 2012 by Mack News Leave a Comment

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ARLINGTON, Vt. (February 14, 2012) — MackMedical/Mack Molding has doubled its high precision laser welding capacity to meet the growing needs of the orthopaedic surgical case and tray market, a major growth area for the company.

The Litron Series 30 Welding System is tailor-made to laser weld Mack’s preferred bracket design for holding surgical instrumentation. The resulting hermetically sealed weld bead is free of gas, air and contaminants, producing a more robust and inherently cleaner assembly than traditional riveting methods. The premium system is fully self-contained rather than open-air, providing a safer, cleaner process and a smaller footprint for integration into a one-piece work flow production environment.

Powered by a Trumpf TruPulse 21 — TruPulse 556 laser, the welding cabinet can accommodate a work piece of 19.5″ in the X coordinate, 11.5″ in the Y coordinate, and 10″ in the Z coordinate. The 200-watt laser offers 6-8 kW pulse power and 90J MAX pulse energy.

The Fanuc CNC programmable system can fuse materials into a continuous weld bead up to12mm. The system allows high heat welding in a concentrated, repeatable, accurate fashion without warp, resulting in significant cost- and time-efficiencies. It will be installed and operational at Mack’s headquarters plant by early March.
