Plastic welding using laser technology is a revolutionary method that offers many advantages over traditional welding methods. At Dynotech, we specialize in designing and manufacturing laser welding systems that can be used for various applications across different industries. Our engineers have extensive experience in implementing laser technology for welding plastic polymers and can help you take advantage of its many benefits.
One of the main advantages of laser welding is its flexibility in the weld pattern.
Galvanometers can direct the focused laser beam to allow for programmable weld patterns, and software controls can be used to input virtually any 2D weld path for complex designs. This means that patterns can be quickly changed for each part without the need for replacement parts. Additionally, automation can be integrated into the system to achieve 3D weld paths as required.
Laser welding also offers precise weld location, as the laser’s focused spot ensures precise heat control. Spot size, focus depth and laser settings can be tuned to minimize heat-affected zones (HAZ). This is particularly beneficial when welding small parts requiring detailed welding zones or with channels or other critical functional features.
Another advantage of laser welding is that it is a non-contact process. The part absorbs the laser energy, and heat is directed to the required locations. This eliminates the need for direct contact with a heated element and reduces mechanical stress on parts.
Laser welding is also automation-friendly and can be easily automated since all aspects can be controlled via a computer. The camera vision can find and even track weld paths, and laser position can be directed in real-time to adjust to these found positions. Other components, such as linear motion tables, rotary stages, and robots, can also be integrated for complete parts handling and automation.
Finally, laser welding often achieves smooth, visually appealing weld seams that do not require post-processing. When using lasers to weld plastic polymers, hermetic seals and strong weld strengths are also possible.
