Device makers are taking increased interest in product designs and assembly that support closed-loop recycling. A Branson plastic welding process can safely and nondestructively “unweld” plastics used ...

The global laser welding machine market is projected to grow from US$2.3 billion in 2026 to US$3.5 billion by 2033, ...

The NREL report assesses the potential of replacing plastic polymer connectors with glass-to-glass laser welding. Image: NREL The US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Renewable Energy Laboratory ...

Laser transmission welding (LTW) is a non-contact joining technique in which a laser beam passes through a laser-transparent thermoplastic component to be absorbed by an adjoining laser-absorbent part ...

Medical devices use a variety of metal components that are often welded to form a secure and permanent bond. Options available for welding processes are limited because of certain constraints such as ...

One trend that has been consistent for years in the automotive industry is that passenger vehicle transmissions are becoming smaller and lighter, although the number of toothed gear components and ...

On its surface, the work is deceptively simple: Shoot a high-power laser beam onto a piece of metal for a fraction of a second and see what happens. But researchers say the physics of laser welding is ...

As industries continue to pursue faster production cycles and higher quality standards, laser welding technology has become ...

Increased production from 10-30 parts to 45-60 parts per hour using dual-station collaborative welding setup with operator and robot. Eliminated warping issues and post-weld straightening requirements ...

Yongcui Mi has developed a new technology that enables real-time shaping and control of laser beams for laser welding and directed energy deposition using laser and wire. The innovation is based on ...

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 ...
