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

You want welds that stay consistent, but quality can drift when parts shift, fit-up varies, or different operators take over.

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.

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In-space manufacturing is a big challenge, even with many of the same manufacturing methods being available as on the ground. These methods include rivets, bolts, but also welding, the latter of which ...

Device makers are taking increased interest in product designs and assembly that support closed-loop recycling. A Branson plastic welding process can safely and nondestructively “unweld” plastics used ...

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 ...

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