GWEIKE introduces a portable laser welding machine and multifunction M-Series system to help manufacturers improve ...

Manufacturing pressure shows up in familiar ways: weld quality can drift from one operator or shift to the next, you still ...

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.

Figure 1. Various test samples that have been laser welded in an applications lab (a) and a low-density polyethylene fluid container welded with a diode laser system (b). Direct welding of plastics is ...

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 ...

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 ...

Medical devices use a variety of metal components that are often welded to form a secure and permanent bond. Options available for welding processes are limited because of certain constraints such as ...

ÖkoHybrid project aims to weld thick steel parts faster, more efficiently. Hybrid laser arc welding process (click for info). To improve the laser-welding of thick steel components, Laser Center ...

BrightLine Scan tech improves robustness, smooths seams; Eco Cooler is a cooling solution based on water rather than problem gases. The laser beam is guided by robot and laser scanner simultaneously.

In new energy battery manufacturing, consistency is not just a quality goal—it is a safety requirement. As battery systems ...

The NREL report assesses the potential of replacing plastic polymer connectors with glass-to-glass laser welding. Image: NREL The US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Renewable Energy Laboratory ...

Ever needed a strong yet adhesive-free way to really stick PLA to glass? Neither have we, but nevertheless there’s a way to use aluminum foil and an IR fiber laser to get a solid bond with a little ...
