Four factors for success
As with any other process, laserwelding of polymers needs specific conditions to be a success.
There are the following key factors:
- Choice of suitable polymers, additives and pigments.
- Use of the right laser source with suitable optics.
- Appropriate joint configuration and small gap width.
- Optimized clamping technology, allowing free access of the laser beam to the seam and applying sufficient pressure on the components.
