LEADER IN INNOVATIVE M17LSB - Ultrasonic Laserbonder

JOINING TECHNOLOGY

Developed in close cooperation with the

Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology,

the combination of ultrasonic bonding and

laser welding offers you the best of both

worlds. It is ideal for package interconnects

in power modules and for battery pack

assembly. Aluminum, copper or nickel

ribbons are welded by laser energy at low ribbons are welded by laser energy at low

bond forces. The process offers a larger

range of choice in very diverse joining

materials, compared to ultrasonic bonding.

As a further advantage, it is very easy to

automate.
