Laser penetration welding operates contact-free and enables direct process control. The question on how plastic parts can be bonded permanently in the best possible way has been occupying the minds of ...

Non-contact laser welding offers several advantages when it comes to joining one plastic part to another. It works on the principle of partial transmission which lets a laser’s light travel through ...

Industrial lasers are used to process engineering plastics across many markets. Some examples of the common processes are shown in Figure 1, including laser marking, cutting, and welding.

Laser welding is on the advance, but it also has its limits: it has been impossible to fuse two transparent plastic components together -- up until now. Researchers have now succeeded in circumventing ...

Traditional ultrasonic plastic welding “modes” use computerized measurements associated with each weld to control weld consistency by focusing on a single parameter or a limit most critical to part ...

Lasers have been used to weld together plastic parts for decades, but until recently the technology had one major disadvantage: it could not be used to weld clear polymers. Recently, high-powered ...

So, you’ve got your product design pretty much down and selected the materials with the properties the application requires, but some of the plastic parts need to be joined. You may discover that the ...
