Advantages of laser transmission welding - contactless input of energy, high precision, no adhesives and no particle formation - can be fully exploited for this use. For absorber-free welding, lasers emitting in the polymers' intrinsic absorption spectrum between 1.6 μm and 2 μm are used. Focusing the laser beam with high NA provides large intensity gradients inside the specimen and enables selective fusing of the joining zone without affecting the surface. Since a molten upper surface leads to visible and palpable irregularities and causes warpage, the verticalexpansion of the weld seam is crucial. To meet the high quality and reliability required in the medical and optical industry, online monitoring of the seam is necessary. The aim of this work is the localization and evaluation of the weld seam using pyrometry. First, the emitted thermal radiation is computed, enabling signal analysis regarding origin and spectrum. Thus, assessment of measurement spectrum and forecast of the signal in dependence on seam shape and position is possible. Finally, welding tests with Topas 8007-04 are performed at 200 mm/s feed rate and monitored with 100 kHz. The comparison of tracked data with thin-cuts demonstrates that weld seam localization by pyrometry is possible, enabling online assessment of the process.}, subject = {Laserdurchstrahlschweissen}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MaiwaldEnglmaierHierl, author = {Maiwald, Frederik and Englmaier, Stephan and Hierl, Stefan}, title = {Online pyrometry for weld seam localization in absorber-free laser transmission welding of transparent polymers}, series = {21st International Symposium on Laser Precision Microfabrication: Dresden, 26.06.2020}, booktitle = {21st International Symposium on Laser Precision Microfabrication: Dresden, 26.06.2020}, publisher = {Japan Laser Processing Society}, abstract = {Optical and medical devices made of transparent polymers are gaining popularity because of its cost advantages.

For realistic simulation, the temperature dependent mechanical properties need to be implemented from ambient temperature to temperatures above the flow temperature. Standard test methods are insufficient for characterization in the entire temperature range because close to the flow temperature the material is too soft for tensile tests and too stiff for rheometry. Therefore, an optimization strategy is developed, that determines unknown material parameters by testing in welding simulations. The unknown parameters are iteratively adjusted to minimize the mismatch between computed and measured set-paths.

Optics with high numerical aperture provide large intensity gradients inside the specimen, enabling selective fusing in the joining zone. Although the basic feasibility has already been demonstrated, the welding process lacks stability and productivity. Aim of this work is the determination of optimized settings for a fast and reliable welding process.

In this work, a 3D-scanner with integrated pyrometer is characterized and used to measure the temperature during quasi-simultaneous laser transmission welding of polyamide 6. However, due to welding in an overlap configuration, the heat radiation emitted from the joining zone of a laser transmission weld has to pass through the upper polymer, which is itself a semi-transparent emitter. Therefore, the spectral filtering of the heat radiation in the upper polymer is taken into account by calibrating the pyrometer for the measurement task. Thermal process simulations are performed to compare the temperature field with the measured temperature signal. The absorption coefficients of the polymers are measured, in order to get precise results from the computation. The temperature signals during welding are in good agreement with the computed mean temperature inside the detection spot, located in the joining area. This is also true for varying laser power, laser beam diameter and the carbon black content in the lower polymer. Both, the computed mean temperature and the temperature signal are representing the core temperature. In order to evaluate the spatial sensitivity of the measurement system, the emitted heat radiation from both polymers is calculated on basis of the computed temperature field. Hereby it is found, that more than 90 percent of the detected heat radiation comes from the joining area, which is a crucial information for contact-free temperature measurement tasks on semi-transparent polymers.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchmailzlQuandtHierletal., author = {Schmailzl, Anton and Quandt, Benjamin and Hierl, Stefan and Schmidt, Michael}, title = {Correlation between Joint Strength and Process Temperature in Quasi-Simultaneous Laser Transmission Welding of Polyamide 6}, series = {Proceedings of LiM2019 - Lasers in Manufacturing (23 June 2019, Munich)}, booktitle = {Proceedings of LiM2019 - Lasers in Manufacturing (23 June 2019, Munich)}, publisher = {Wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft Lasertechnik e.V.}, pages = {1 -- 10}, abstract = {The joint strength is gaining importance in quasi -simultaneous laser transmission welds, especially in structural components.

The filtering of the heat radiation in the upper joining partner is taken into account by calibrating the mea surement system. By this, the measured temperature signal represents the temperature in the joining zone. A correlation is found between the measured temperature and the resulting joint strength. Moreover, high joint strengths are also seen for welds with short welding times, as far as the temperature is sufficiently high.
