Laser Welding UnitConnexion II ErgoInnovative JoiningTechnique

The High-End Laser Technology forHigh-End ResultsThe Connexion II Ergo laserwelding unit builds on thesuccess and know-how ofConnexion I. It representsthe latest in high-tech lasertechnology, which guaranteesyou outstanding resultswith high throughput. Asthe most innovative laserwelder on the dental marketanywhere in the world, it iscurrently unequalled in termsof performance and operatorcomfort, thanks to a uniqueconfiguration that combinestwo state-of-the-art technologiesfor the very firsttime: Sweet spot Technologyand Pulse Customization.Sweet spotTechnology and PulseCustomizationSweet spot Technology guaranteesprecise focusing thanks to an easy-tomanagelaser beam profile that enablesaccurate reproducible welding overlong periods.Patented Pulse Customization lets youtailor energy to the materials used.This means that almost any metal oralloy can be processed, specifically toproduce welding seams with guaranteedhomogeneity in both depth and breadth.EfficiencyThe Connexion II Ergo’s efficiency makesall facets of productive work possible.Right in these times of cost pressure,the unit thus meets all of a laboratory’srequirements for economy and reliability,and stands for maximum productivity.

Connexion II Ergo

Ergonomics and TechnologyThe design of the Connexion IIErgo is based on knowledge ofthe latest studies in ergonomics.It makes highly concentratedand efficient work possible overa long period of time and thuscontributes significantly to theunit’s efficiency.Connexion II Ergo uniquely combinesthe particular advantages of laserwelding: top-quality welding seamsthanks to Sweet spot Technology,individual shaping of the spot weldmade possible by Pulse Customization,an extremely high performancepotential and comfortable operation.The sitting position guarantees maximumlegroom and thus a low stressergonomic working posture.Sweet spot Technology produces awonderful beam quality with optimizedinitial pulse behaviour.The Leica x 15 stereo microscopeguarantees the best possibledetailed view.The tilt angle of the Leica stereomicroscope can be additionallyaltered with the Ergo* wedge.Operation without interrupting theworkflow is made possible by thecontrol elements for all parametersbeing laid out in the working drawer.The Cobra display unit* with bestresolution is an alternative tothe Leica stereo microscopeand makes work easier, especiallyfor people with glasses.The armrest cushions*support the hands duringfocusing, while softleather sleeves preventelectrostatic charging.That makes it easy to position the objectunder the microscope. So the finesthigh-quality welding seams are now nolonger a problem even with high throughputrequirements.Cobra display unit*Leather sleevesPedal switch

The patented Sweet spotTechnology makes regular pulsebehaviour possible (above).Pulse behaviour without Sweetspot Technology (below).Economically lasered homogeneousand perfect welding seams thanksto pulse customization at 5, 10, 15and 20 Hz with a constant feed.Pulse Customization: Within an impulse,the flow of energy can be customizedand tailored to any metallic material. Thisenables safe machining even of materialsthat were previously hard to weld. PulseCustomization guarantees homogeneouswelding seams.Argon rinsing: Two argon nozzles, onefixed and the other movable, produce anoble gas atmosphere that fully envelopsthe tool with minimal argon usage. Theoptimized extractor fan has an integratedmicrofilter that ensures efficient cleaningof the atmosphere.Performance potential: Connexion IIErgo is a very high-performance product,working especially economically with lowpower consumption.20 Hz technology: The high pulse frequencymakes ultra-fast work a reality.Pre-programmed microprocessorcontrol for most applications and pulseforms speeds work up. 90 additional setsof parameters can be individually programmedand saved with no restrictions.Our product covers four basic areas:The Connexion II Ergo makes fixing andwelding possible with:1) Precious metal(e.g. Degunorm programme)2) Nonprecious metal(e.g. Biosil I programme)3) Precious metal to nonprecious metal4) TitaniumWorking room with the inneroperating elements: Diode ringlight, Argon- and air nozzle andmuch more.Diode ring light*: The object receivesthe best possible illumination withoutreflections or shadows and without theworking area being heated up.Display of welding parameters*: Youcan read parameters easily in your fieldof vision without changing your posture.This ensures ergonomical and comfortableworking.*Optional equipmentOpen working drawerLaser resonator for precision welding*:This enables filigree welding withspot diameters of 0.1–1.5 mm.External control panelAdditional air blow nozzle*: Theobject can be cooled via a separatepedal switch with a practical shape.
