Plastic joints in production
Just the right machine for your application
What plastic components would you like to join?
Packaging, an Electronic Component, or a Watch? Toys, a Ship’s Interior, or Designer Furniture?
Laser transmission welding is used for many everyday objects made of plastic, as it offers a host of advantages:
- Precise weld seams in visible areas
- Invisible weld seams through clear-clear joints
- Absolute imperviousness of weld seams up to IP67
- Ability to join complex 3D components and large free-form components
- Possibility of welding particularly thin materials, such as foils
- Welding of particularly small materials with seam widths in the micrometer range
- Flexibility for production planning when there are special requirements for hygiene
Manufacturers of consumer goods profit from laser plastic welding for multiple reasons: It reduces scrap, increases visual quality, and – with a suitable process design – saves hard cash through an economical production process. No matter whether as series production on the production line, as a small series, or as a prototype.
We will focus on your prodcuts
- Material: Different materials can be welded with varying degrees of success. We are very familiar with plastics and will be glad to advise you when it comes to selecting materials.
- Shape and geometry: Even complex contours can be traced using the laser. Let’s talk about your ideas.
- Size: Does the component you want to weld range from 100 mm x 100 mm to 1000 mm x 750 mm x 400 mm in size? If so, we may already have a solution for your joining task.
We are interested in your challenge and would like to work together with you to resolve your demanding tasks.
Perfect for (almost) every plastic joint: Our products for your application
Components of different sizes can be joined using the LPKF system for laser plastic welding.
- Fittings, taillights, and coverings are regarded as large and medium-sized components in the LPKF system.
- Housings, containers, valves, and switches are medium-sized to small components, depending on the design.
- If the dimensions “do not fit” or if other parameters such as special supply lines need to be taken into account, LPKF will prepare specific solutions with an integration option.
