- UE,
PHILIPS has developed under ComMUnion a laser source based VCSEL capable of heating both metal and thermoplastic composites in order to be applied to the multi-material joining in tape laying processes.
Compact high-power VCSEL laser sources deliver directed and controlled infrared power and enable high productivity. They provide a cost-effective and powerful solution for fiber placement / tape laying applications and many other industrial applications.
