Scansonic has introduced the SCW (Safe Component Welding) laser welding optic that meets Class 1 laser requirements, ...

That has changed, thanks to a team of researchers that is developing a ceramic welding laser. Welding is a really special process. At one level, it is very simple: heat two materials until they ...

As with traditional welding techniques, materials are melted in the weld zone, although laser-based techniques use quicker heating and cooling cycles (Figure 1). These rapid thermal cycles are a ...

Hot-plate welding and STTIr laser welding are both used in joining plastic parts. The authors break down the differences and the practical outcomes. Laser welding and hot-plate welding are ...

Laser welding has for years been a good way to join parts made from the same or very similar polymers. Material options for the technique continue to expand. DuPont Engineering Polymers ...

a new laser welding head with tactile seam-tracking technology ideal for electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing applications. The growing demand for EVs is expanding applications for lasers in ...
