The new plastics welding technique using laser opens up new possibilities for the product developer as well as the manufacturing technician. With small transition zones and low energy output dense connections with high welding seam resistances can be achieved.
Well-known joining techniques such as screwing and clipping require elaborate seals.
Adhesive bonding in series production is procedural very complex.
Well-known welding techniques, such as ultrasound welding or vibration welding, damage visible surfaces or mounting parts, such as electronic components.
When welding plastics the joints mostly overlap and are penetration laser welded.
Also butt joint welding is possible.
During production development the following must be observed:
-laser transparency
-material pairing, and
-seam geometry
We offer our support by process development and offer the possibility of welding and preproduction tests in our laboratory.
