You want welds that stay consistent, but quality can drift when parts shift, fit-up varies, or different operators take over.

Lasers have been used to weld together plastic parts for decades, but until recently the technology had one major disadvantage: it could not be used to weld clear polymers. Recently, high-powered ...

Holo/Or, the world leader in high-power Diffractive Optical Elements (DOE) manufacturing, is proud to present its novel concept for enhancing laser welding speed using Flexishaper diffractive beam ...

Non-contact laser welding offers several advantages when it comes to joining one plastic part to another. It works on the principle of partial transmission which lets a laser’s light travel through ...

Typical repair processes include spray coating, plating, arc welding, plasma welding, and laser welding. Each of these processes has advantages and disadvantages, depending on a variety of factors, ...

Scanlab, a manufacturer of high-end scan heads, and sister companies Blackbird Robotersysteme and Holo/Or are developing new system concepts for industrial laser applications – such as laser welding ...

Researchers were able to demonstrate how well their real-time acoustic monitoring of laser weld seams works. With almost 90 percent reliability, they detected the formation of unwanted pores that ...

Aim The laser welding technique was chosen for its versatility in the repair of dental metal prosthesis. The aim of this research is to assess the accuracy, quality and reproducibility of this ...

Researchers at Fraunhofer IZM have developed a laser welding process that works without adhesives to connect Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) with optical fibers. Uniquely, the technology can be ...
