Laser penetration welding is on its way to become an established technology for joining thermoplastics.

The pace at which developments in this field is truly remarkable. This technology, that was merely a laboratory curiosity in the 90s, is now suitable for industrial use.

JENOPTIK has developed a modular system from which laser penetration welding equipment can be constructed.
In contrast to custom solutions for each individual problem, we offer a modular concept from which an appropriate system can be configured to nearly any processing requirement.

Possible configuration options:

• Gantry
• Robot
• Scanner system
• Manual or automatic hatches
• Plug'n'Play System with fixture and part handling

Principle

• In the laser-absorbing component W1, the light energy of the laser is converted into heat energy

• Component W2, which is transparent to the laser light, is heated and melts directly

Applications:

Automotive
• Headlights
• Fuel components
• Airbag Chutes

Electronic
• Sensors/ Sensor

Housings
• Mobile phone parts
• Rate meters

Medical Equipment
• Dialyzers
• Infusion systems
• DNA analysis
• Fluid systems

Advantages:

• inside weld seam possible
• inside weld seam suitable as
design element in exposed areas
• tricky 3-D contours possible
• Laser welding is contact free
(no tool wear)
• process online control with data
storage
• no cure time on finished part
