Shortly after the turn of the millennium, laser welding of plastics moved from research into industry and has undergone an impressive evolution ever since. The innovative strength in this field extends not only to system technology, but also includes significant…
The development of laser welding of plastics represents a fascinating chapter in the history of materials processing. Although the patent application filed by Mobil Oil Corporation in 1964 can be regarded as an example of early considerations in this field,…
In today’s manufacturing environment, precise joining techniques are essential, especially when it comes to processing plastics. Two-step laser welding has been developed as an effective solution that overcomes the limitations of conventional single-step processes and sets new standards for processing…
One of the great advantages of laser welding of plastic is that the weld seams are very homogeneous and therefore leak-tight. The process is ideally suited for achieving IP67 or higher protection levels in a process-safe manner. Even in the…
Probably one of the most influential patents on laser welding of plastics is a patent EP 0 751 865 first filed by Marquardt GmbH in 1994. It protects the welding of two workpiece parts using the transmission method, which have…
