As car designs become more compact and complex, manufacturers increasingly rely on ultrasonic welding solutions to assemble plastic parts with accuracy and consistency.

Martin Frost – UK sales manager, Telsonic UK the wholly owned subsidiary of Telsonic AG Switzerland, talks to AZoM about the ultrasonic torsional welding. In plastic welding, conventional LINEAR ...

Device makers are taking increased interest in product designs and assembly that support closed-loop recycling. A Branson plastic welding process can safely and nondestructively “unweld” plastics used ...

Industrial lasers are used to process engineering plastics across many markets. Some examples of the common processes are shown in Figure 1, including laser marking, cutting, and welding.

So, you’ve got your product design pretty much down and selected the materials with the properties the application requires, but some of the plastic parts need to be joined. You may discover that the ...

The automotive industry is experiencing an essential transformation because manufacturers require fuel-efficient vehicles combined with lower emissions along with safer transportation systems. The ...

Laser plastic welding has grown in popularity for medical applications because it reliably joins a wide range of materials, including dissimilar materials. At the same time, the process uses no ...

Figure 1. Various test samples that have been laser welded in an applications lab (a) and a low-density polyethylene fluid container welded with a diode laser system (b). Direct welding of plastics is ...

Last time we talked about a video that purported to do plastic welding, we mentioned that the process wasn’t really plastic welding as we understood it. Judging by the comments, many people agreed, ...
