Press release

For a continuously good welding quality of laser beam welding plastics it is essential to have a constantly good quality of the base material. Because of an incompleted mixture of the filler material with the basic material or a lack of machine cleanliness the transmission factor can vary. The transmission factor shows how much laser power is transmitted through the material. It is an essential factor for a constantly good quality. Wolf Produktionssysteme developed a transmission measuring device that measures with a comparable laser power density and wavelength as it is used in the laser welding machine itself.

Shorter cycle times, higher welding strength. The market for plastics in automotive grows 8 % each year. Often housings for sensors and actuators are made out of plastics. The housing needs to be leak-proof to protect the mechanic and sensoric inside from the outer medium. The perfect joining technology for this is laser welding. Thanks to a new process the cycle time can be reduced to less than 40 % with an increased welding strength.
