Patent No. EP3749507 (titled "Clamping Device And Associated Laser Welding Apparatus") was filed by Evosys Laser on Feb 4, 2019. The application was issued on Jan 19, 2022.
Clamping device for laser welding of molded parts, comprising a first clamping plate for receiving a first molded part, a second clamping plate for applying clamping force to the first molded part and a second molded part, and an outer clamping jaw with a recess and an inner clamping jaw arranged therein. The clamping device further includes a mirror element positioned to reflect a laser beam onto a section of the welding contour that would otherwise be obstructed by the clamping elements, thereby enabling continuous welding without interruption.
