Twenty-five years ago, laser welding was used only for exotic applications. Today, it is a full-fledged part of the metalworking and regularly produces welds for common items.

Lasers also offer new possibilities for the selective heat treatment of metal parts. (read more)

Heraeus Medical Components Division continues to expand their laser processing technologies. They've got the right people and the right equipment to process and weld metals and to ablate plastics. (read more)

Laser Applied Wire - Laser Welding Services (LAW) from Joining Technologies. The LAW process is used for restoring metal to worn surfaces by using laser and wire. This process uses very little heat and therefore inputs little or no distortion to the part. This application s is used in the mold/die and aerospace... (read more)

Ultrasonic metal welding is sometimes called "cold welding" because it works without melting the metals. It cleans and welds at temperatures lower than the melting point of the metals. Ultrasonic metal welding most commonly joins nonferrous metals, but can also be used with other metals, such as when welding aluminum to ceramics. (read more)

Dukane introduces IQ Series Software for ultrasonic plastic welding systems. Ethernet capabilities allow remote access from anywhere in your manufacturing facility, or anywhere in the world. The graph and save tools make quality management and documentation easier (ideal for FDA/GAMP guidelines). Production analysis screens track efficiency/productivity. (read more)

The process of hot plate welding uses a heated platen to melt the joining surfaces of the two halves of a thermoplastic part. Properly designed joints welded under precise process control often equal or exceeds the strength of any other part area. SEE ANSWERS TO FAQs & A VIDEO DEMONSTRATION (read more)

The ideal assembly solution for medium, contoured, or complex thermoplastic parts. Designed for versatility and easy tooling changeover to accommodate a variety of parts. Typical applications include fuel tanks, reservoirs, taillight lenses, and vent ducts. The welder easily achieves hermetic seals, and finished part weld strength approaches that of the virgin material. (read more)
