Industrial lasers are used to process engineering plastics across many markets. Some examples of the common processes are shown in Figure 1, including laser marking, cutting, and welding.

The NREL report assesses the potential of replacing plastic polymer connectors with glass-to-glass laser welding. Image: NREL The US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Renewable Energy Laboratory ...

Increased production from 10-30 parts to 45-60 parts per hour using dual-station collaborative welding setup with operator and robot. Eliminated warping issues and post-weld straightening requirements ...

Medical devices use a variety of metal components that are often welded to form a secure and permanent bond. Options available for welding processes are limited because of certain constraints such as ...

Laser transmission welding (LTW) is a non-contact joining technique in which a laser beam passes through a laser-transparent thermoplastic component to be absorbed by an adjoining laser-absorbent part ...

On its surface, the work is deceptively simple: Shoot a high-power laser beam onto a piece of metal for a fraction of a second and see what happens. But researchers say the physics of laser welding is ...

One trend that has been consistent for years in the automotive industry is that passenger vehicle transmissions are becoming smaller and lighter, although the number of toothed gear components and ...
