Whilst there are many established methods to join plastic, each with their own merits and disadvantages, technical advances in laser technology has elevated laser welding to the forefront.

With a flexible operating system, laser welding has become a cost effective technology which offers a wide range of advantages for both mass production, small batch work and product development.

Advantages

• High Weld speeds
• Bond strengths superior to other joining techniques
• Clean optically clear joints where required
• Ability to weld clear or coloured materials
• Accurate control of weld position and dimensions
• Precise control of manufacturing parameters
• Reduced risk of thermal and mechanical stress
• Multi layer welded simultaneously
• 3D joint lines possible
