Two technologies combined in one system
A new technology developed by Bielomatik combines the advantages of the well-known, robust two-step infrared welding of mechanical engineering with the quasi-simultaneous laser-based welding. Inside the separate periods of heating and joining, the joining surfaces are heated flexibly with high scanning speed before they are pressure-welded.
For users, laser transparent plastics cease to be an issue, as well as special component design for laser penetration welding and different absorption properties of plastics. Furthermore, component alterations and tolerances are easily adjustable.
Laser-based infrared welding is completely particle-free, with high welding strength even with challenging structures like assembly- and insert-components, or component geometries that were unachievable with laser to date. Applications are found in the automotive industry, white goods, sanitary and installation, electrical engineering, electronic engineering, medical and pharmaceutical technology.
