Today we will discuss the plastic laser welding process that has been misunderstood by the public, hoping to better understand this era-significant technology.
■ Misconception: Laser welding of plastics can only be used for small parts
Laser plastic welding technology is suitable for parts of all sizes. By precisely applying energy and controlling the size and trajectory of the spot, this technology enables the use of masks to limit laser energy in the most demanding applications. In addition to small parts, laser plastic welding is also widely used in large parts. Equipment with synchronized laser systems can process parts up to 39 square inches.
Adding a third axis to the scanner enables the processing of larger sized parts. Alternatively, contour welding technology can be used, where the laser head is physically moved around the edge of the part to weld. No matter the size of the part, laser technology can get the job done!
■ Misconception: Laser welding has safety hazards
Laser plastic welding is safe. As with any welding job, necessary safety measures must be taken, and laser welding is no exception. Our measures are designed to protect operators from the effects of infrared energy.
■ Misconception: Laser plastic welding is expensive
Laser plastic welding doesn’t have to be expensive. When developing a welding solution, several factors need to be considered, such as budget, parts requirements and cycle time. Laser's laser plastic welding technology is unique. We customize solutions based on application needs and customer expectations to balance the most important factors in all aspects and provide a cost-effective solution.
■ Misconception: Laser plastic welding speed is slow.
Laser plastic welding is actually one of the fastest plastic welding technologies available today. Precise and highly concentrated energy heats plastic quickly and effectively. This misunderstanding may stem from traditional metal laser cutting machines. Our laser solutions are fast because we apply the right laser system to the matching part.
■ Misconception: Laser plastic welding operation is complicated
Laser plastic welding doesn't have to be difficult. At its core, laser welding uses infrared energy to melt plastic and then uses pressure to join it together. This is a powerful technology and a clean, precise method of welding plastics. Partner with an experienced manufacturing technology company like Lesser. We make laser plastic welding easy.
Therefore, when you are faced with a plastic welding project, consider using laser technology to complete it. This process is suitable for parts of all sizes. With LESSER as your technology partner, welding is safe, economical, fast and easy. If you’d like to find out if laser plastic welding is right for your project, please contact us.
