How It Works

Laser Welding

Laser Welding is a joining solution that creates a particulate-free, clean joint.  Laser welding is capable of joining together a wide range of materials. It was developed as a result of ever evolving products and their need to be smaller and perform to a higher standard.

The Process

Emerson’s laser welding employs a patented process called Simultaneous Through-Transmission Infrared® (STTIr) welding. STTIr uses fiber-optic bundles to deliver light from laser diodes to the Waveguide. The Waveguide is a custom-tailored tool that directs the laser at a precise target line to heat and join the plastic. This enables the heating and plastification of an entire weld line at once, and provides a uniform melt down and weld collapse.  STTIr is scalable from small to large parts.

Applications

Laser welding is frequently chosen for applications which require particulate-free joints and fast cycle times.  Laser welding is tolerant to warpage and defects, complex shapes and parts to be laser welded can be pre-assembled.  The laser welding process does not involve movement or vibration during the weld cycle and can therefore be used for welding delicate internal components.
