Reliable solutions for welding automotive components systems that need innovative and flexible design.

Welding technologies are changing rapidly as companies look for new ways to prototype, validate designs and test their strength in demanding production environments.

The automotive and electronics industries, particularly, place a high priority on the development of compact devices with sensors and tiny, delicate internal elements. Medical devices that are used for in vitro diagnostics (IVD), vital-signs monitoring, injections, and inhalation therapy are no different.

For small and intricate plastic components, manufacturers are looking for systems that deliver strong, clean joints in a highly compact package that suits installation in automated process lines.

Achieve particulate-free and clean joints for delicate and internal electronic parts.

Designers increasingly rely on micro-welding technology as an alternative to traditional fasteners or adhesives. Laser welding has fast become a preferred alternative to conventional arc-welding because of the higher speeds and longer run times available. It also offers users several benefits. For one thing, even the most intricate plastic components can be laser welded with complete reliability, without the use of consumables or other external factors.

In addition, users can offer a wide range of options by using different types of lasers and cooling strategies.
