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

Handheld laser welding has evolved from a fixed-station technology into a powerful portable method capable of precision ...

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 ...

Researchers discuss an ambitious project to understand the basic principles of laser welding better than ever before. On its surface, the work is deceptively simple: Shoot a high-power laser beam onto ...

Laser welding of plastic is quick, precise, and generates little waste, but it does have its limitations. The process involves shining a laser beam through the edge of an upper sheet of plastic and ...

DuPont Engineering Polymers, Wilmington Del. (www.plastics.dupont.com), for example, offers a wide range of suitable materials for laser welding. It's relatively easy to produce strong welds with ...

As with traditional welding techniques, materials are melted in the weld zone, although laser-based techniques use quicker heating and cooling cycles (Figure 1). These rapid thermal cycles are a ...

Laser cutters are certainly a Hackerspace staple for cutting fabrics in some circles. But for the few fabrics derived from non-woven plastics, why not try fusing them together? That’s exactly what ...

Such metal combinations needed for future low-weight vehicles; LZH says problem solved by LaserLeichter project. Quick and safe joining of steel and aluminum using remote laser welding. Load-adapted ...
