Laser machines for laser perforation

JENOPTIK-VOTAN" A Classic - Laser machine for laser perforationLaser perforation of demanding integrated airbag solutions

Laser machine JENOPTIK-VOTAN® A Classic

The JENOPTIK-VOTAN® A Classic is a unique plant system for the controlled and safe incorporation of invisible predefined weakening points in instrument panels made of different materials. The series system for automotive and component supplying industries enables the production of aesthetically high-quality airbag solutions on the one hand and safe production thanks to process monitoring and control options on the other.

The plant series JENOPTIK-VOTAN® A perforates plastic parts - TPO, PU, TPU or PVC - as well as textile or leather parts, even if backed with soft foam systems.

JENOPTIK-VOTAN" A Compact - Laser machine for laser perforationLaser perforation of predefined weakening points for integrated airbag solutions

Laser machine JENOPTIK-VOTAN® A Compact

The JENOPTIK-VOTAN® A Compact belongs to the laser perforation system family JENOPTIK-VOTAN® A (Airbag). It is the space-saving, flexible “little sister”. This system also creates integrated, invisible predefined weakening points for airbags in passenger car instrument panels and other interior parts by means of a laser.

Thanks to the compact container design, it can easily be moved to a different location without having to disassemble any key components. In addition to the low investment costs, the system distinguishes itself by optimized delivery, transport and commissioning times.

Laser machines for laser cutting

JENOPTIK-VOTAN" C BIM - Laser machine for laser cuttingLaser cutting of complex 3D components

Laser machine JENOPTIK-VOTAN® BIM

When it comes to the processing of large vehicle components such as instrument panels, traditional methods often fail because they cannot cope with the requirements of rapid processing times, high productivity and flexibility and last but not least, great accuracy. We remove casting tabs and foil remnants on instrument panels and other plastic components cleanly without creating any surface damage.

The laser cutting system JENOPTIK-VOTAN® BIM (Beam In Motion) constitutes an innovative combination of a stationary laser and a robot-based motion sequence. Due to its compact design and extremely flexible handling, it is referred to as a plug-and-play system. With the novel system concept, the core of which being a laser robot with fully integrated beam control, laser powers of up to 5 kW can be realized for the first time without impairing the advantages provided by a robot system - high mobility and accessibility, very high system accuracy and dynamics.

This laser system is used for a variety of demanding tasks in the field of laser cutting of plastic or metal components, e.g. trimming of interior cover parts, removal of borders and overlapping foil with components made subject to back injection molding, trimming of press-hardened structural components as well as 3D-molded metallic sections.
