The Process:
Transmission laser welding creates a perfect and reliable connection. In this process, two plastic parts are joined, each possessing different absorptive characteristics. The laser penetrates the top layer, which is transparent to that wavelength, but is absorbed by the bottom layer. The surface of the bottom layer melts, which in turn melts the adjoining surfaces of the top layer and both surfaces bind to each other
Clean and safe joining of components
Welding plastics via laser is especially suited for delicate components, because there is no mechanical motion and the thermal reaction is minimal. This makes the technique ideal for a wider range of possible applications in such industries as automotive, medical, consumer electronics, and theThe LQ-Power is the latest evolution of laser plastic welding, available now as a turnkey solution. LPKF’s fundamental understanding of the process and years of experience in mechanical and automation engineering stand behind this high quality laser plastic welding system. The system meets even the most rigorous industrial demand and quality requirements.
The LQ-Power handles work pieces as large as 6.3” x 6.3” x 3.9” (160 x 160 x 100mm). Although the factory configuration is ideal for manual feeding from a standing or sitting position, the dual stations assure short process times. The system an also be configured at the factory for automated feeding for pick & place systems.
