The blog about laser plastic welding
Laser welding of plastics is a very robust and reliable process. The causes of defective welds are mostly found in pre-processes along the value chain. Already in the first step, the compounding, the material components and thus the important optical…
The following criteria are specifically relevant for the individual process variants and must be taken into account accordingly when it comes to the design layout of the joining zone. CONTOUR WELDING-TOLERANCES – As no relative movement of the joining partners…
An essential component for a robust process is the design of the joining zone. Basically, a distinction can be made between process-independent and process-dependent criteria. The following criteria and information are generally valid for all process variants. MATERIAL THICKNESS –…
As an alternative to conventional laser welding, laser welding of plastics with wavelengths in the range of 2µm can be used. With this variant, two workpieces can be joined without additional absorbers. The main difference of the process lies in…
In simultaneous welding, the entire weld seam is heated and melted at the same time (i.e. simultaneously) by one or more beam sources. The arrangement of the beam sources or the beam shaping by means of suitable optical elements must…
