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 ...

In EU project ALBATROSS, Fraunhofer IWS has developed battery housing for E-vehicles. Laser processes with dynamic beam shaping create stable joints even in challenging material combinations. Recent ...

As with traditional welding techniques, materials are melted in the weld zone, although laser-based techniques use quicker heating and cooling cycles (Figure 1). These rapid thermal cycles are a ...

BrightLine Scan tech improves robustness, smooths seams; Eco Cooler is a cooling solution based on water rather than problem gases. The laser beam is guided by robot and laser scanner simultaneously.

The devices and tools used in medicine are becoming smaller. They have greater functionality and are expected to last longer than earlier devices. Design, manufacturing, and packaging the devices and ...
