What Is Laser Welding?
Laser plastic welding includes particulate-free joining processes that offer exceptional aesthetics and design freedom. Gentle laser welds use no friction or vibration and are ideal for any simple or 3D contoured parts that require clean, precise joints. Emerson provides two types of Branson laser welding processes — Simultaneous Through-Transmission Infrared® (STTIr®) or quasi-simultaneous — that deliver scalability, rapid cycle times and high yields in a wide range of applications.
How Laser Welding Works
Laser Welding Benefits
Laser plastic welding processes are versatile, capable of joining many different plastics, and are excellent for high-value applications that require aesthetic joints and fast cycle times. They accommodate complex part shapes, minor warpage or defects, and pre-assembled components. Since there is no movement or vibration during the weld cycle, laser welds can be used to join parts with pre-assembled components, including those in medical devices, electronics, or automotive assemblies.
