Core offering

CEMAS Elettra designs, manufactures, and services industrial plastic welding equipment for thermoplastic joining applications. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio spanning eight core technology categories — laser, vibration, infrared, hot plate, ultrasonic, InfraStake staking, gluing, and hybrid systems — and delivers fully custom machines and tooling from design through after-sales support.

Product overview

CEMAS Elettra is a global leader in plastic welding technologies offering a comprehensive portfolio of specialized industrial machines and modules. The product lineup spans eight core technology categories: Laser Welding (MF series: MF30, MF120, MF240, MF960), Vibration Welding (900 series: 901, 902, 911, 912, 918, 950, 999), Infrared Welding (IR series: IR9, IR14, IR20), Hot Plate Welding (HP series: HP9, HP14, HP20), Ultrasonic Welding, InfraStake Staking (ISM20, IS125, IS32), Gluing, and Hybrid Vibration+Infrared technology. These are complemented by enabling products including the JOINMATE HMI interface and IRM4.0 controller module. Each technology category serves specific industrial joining requirements across automotive, electronics, appliances, and consumer goods sectors. The company operates 14 active branches worldwide providing sales, technical support, and localized service.

Products and services

• Laser Welding Machines (MF Series) Diode laser plastic welding systems using a fully modular multifiber architecture, joining a laser-absorbent component to a transparent one via wavelength-specific irradiation. Modular range includes MF30 module (3 sources), MF120 (12 sources), MF240 (24 sources), and MF960 (up to 96 sources) for components of all sizes.
• Vibration Welding Machines (900 Series) Industrial vibration welding machines that fuse thermoplastic surfaces through friction, including models 901, 902, 911, 912 (Vibration+IR), 918, 950, and 999. Real-time vibration frequency adjustment every 5 ms with vibration stopping in under 50 ms. Used for automotive components such as rear lamps, intake manifolds, dashboards, and spoilers.
• Infrared Welding Machines (IR Series) Infrared welding systems using medium-wavelength emitters for non-contact joining of thermoplastics. Each IR zone is individually controlled for precise heat management, powered by the IRM4.0 module controller managing four channels. Range includes IR9, IR14, and IR20 machines for applications from small air intake manifolds to large dashboards and washing machine drums.
• Hot Plate Welding Machines (HP Series) Fully electric hot plate welding machines for medium and large water-tight, air-tight, and leak-proof thermoplastic components. Modular architecture with multiple heating zones individually programmed. Range includes HP9, HP14, and HP20 machines, suited for tanks, pipings, and large components.
• Ultrasonic Welding Machine Fully electric ultrasonic welding system using a sonotrode to join thermoplastics through high-frequency vibrations. System includes generator, converter, booster, and sonotrode operating at resonance frequency, with servo-assisted motors for precise, repeatable bonds. Ideal for parts not requiring simultaneous welding of an entire path.
• InfraStake Staking Technology Infrared heating combined with precision staking for efficient, clean, and visually flawless thermoplastic assembly. Non-contact alternative to ultrasonic staking, ideal for visible surfaces, complex geometries, and sensitive electronic components. Available in three module sizes: ISM20, IS125, and IS32.
• Gluing Machine Specialized adhesive applied via anthropomorphic robotic arm for flexible, precise, heat-free bonding of thermoplastics. The only technology enabling joining of different plastic types including those incompatible with welding. Fully electric for high process flexibility.
• Vibration + Infrared Hybrid Technology Dual-phase hybrid process combining infrared preheating with vibration welding. IR softens material before vibration enables easier flow, improved weld consistency, and reduced particulate generation. Non-contact heating accommodates complex geometries including draft angles up to ±25°. Available as integrated machine variants (e.g., 911 MK2 IR, 912 IR, 918 MK2 IR).
• Custom Welding Tool Design and Manufacturing Design and manufacturing of custom welding tools and equipment that integrate with CEMAS machines. Tools are tailored to specific components, ensuring precise and efficient welds, including welding trials and prototyping support.
• Professional Services and After-Sales Support
• Customer Portal Private customer area for machine monitoring, direct assistance, and tailored support. Enables remote access to machine diagnostics and support resources for installed CEMAS equipment.
