in high volume production. Materials used to create infusion lines, catheters, and similar medical devices may include TPU, TPE, PEN, polyamides, Pebax, polycarbonate, ABS and PEEK. These thermoplastics and thermoplastic elastomers provide many desirable properties, but some combinations can be difficult to bond. After assembly, these materials are challenged by torsional stresses at the points of transition between the soft tubing and the hard connector. Panacol developed the adhesive Vitralit UV 7030 to specifically address these complex issues. Vitralit UV 7030 is a one- component, solvent-free UV curable acrylic adhesive. It can be cured with light energy in the broad UV-A spectrum, or with LED systems that produce either 365 or 405nm wavelength. This adhesive cures in seconds at layer thicknesses of a few 100µm, ensuring high-bond strength immediately after UV exposure. A key feature of Vitralit UV 7030 is its high elongation at break, >250%, combined with good tensile strength. When exposed to black light, Vitralit UV 7030 fluoresces, which enables visual process control. Vitralit UV 7030 is certified to USP class VI standards and suitable for typical sterilisation processes including gamma, EtO and autoclave. Panacol-Elosol was
founded in 1978 as a German subsidiary of the Swiss Panacol in Frankfurt. In 2008, Panacol was acquired by Munich-based Dr. Hönle, a leading global supplier of industrial UV equipment technology. As a member of the Hönle Group,

welded. Due to a suitable design of the clamping tool, the opening to the workpiece carrier and plastic part is closed laser-safe, so that the system can be operated as laser class 1. The special machine builder does not have to worry about any further safety precautions in regards to the welding laser and only has to ensure the handing of the parts to the welding position. Additionally, for a simultaneous or quasi-simultaneous process type, the clamping unit can be equipped with displacement sensors that are directly retrieved by the Modula laser unit for process control.
ProByLas’s Modula product line allows integration of laser plastic welding.
The Modula product line of laser units, optics, clamping, and motion systems enables easy integration of laser plastic welding in customer-specific machines by special machine building. This product line has been extended by a special process cell Modula Assembly Inline for even easier integration into a fully automated production line. For example, with workpiece carriers on a conveyor belt or large rotary indexing table. The new process cell
includes an optics, a clamping unit and sensors for process control. Optics are primarily a scanner with a working field of 100x100mm, enabling both contour and quasi-simultaneous processes to be employed. However, special optics such as ring, line or DOE (Diffractive Optical Element) optics can also be selected for simultaneous welding. The pneumatic clamping unit of the process cell presses from top to bottom on the workpiece carrier with the part to be
The Modula laser unit for controlling the Modula Assembly Inline process cell can be placed up to 5m from the process cell. They are connected by an optical fibre, an electrical data cable and, if there are scanner optics in the process cell, with an additional control cable. The compressed air for the pneumatic clamping unit is connected directly to the process cell.

High-resolution pneumatic solutions Processes like low-pressure leak testing, microunit dispensing and microfluidics require extreme accuracy and repeatability. Proportion-Air’s high-resolution regulators use true proportional valves, which offer superior performance compared with traditional on/off solenoid valves. With virtually zero dead-band and a long life cycle, they’re an excellent choice for any application where high resolution is a must. These high- resolution valves can be mounted in any orientation, and are immune to shock and vibration up to 20G.
Din rail, manifold mount and panel mount options are also available. The MPV and QPV are
