Automotive Laser Polymer Welding
The use of high-performance polymer materials continues to increase within the automotive and other sectors bringing valuable benefits of design freedom, weight reduction, added strength and cost savings.
One of the harshest environments is within the fuel system where only selective polymers such as POM and Nylon are capable of functioning. These components must withstand severe conditions whist maintaining a hermetic seal and often operate under high cyclic pressure.
Customer feedback confirms that traditional joining processes such as vibration and heat welding are no longer effective for some of these demanding applications.
ALPW has established many solutions for these applications using transmission laser welding, the images below detail some of our solutions.
