INFRARED Plastics Joining
Open the catalog to page 1INFRARED Plastics Joining Thermoplastics can be welded together using infrared radiation. With this method the infrared radiation is absorbed by the material and transformed into heat, whereby the surface layer is melted and the plastic components are joined by pressing them together. Infrared heat is transferred without contact. The heat input is fast, specific and energy-efficient. Power-controlled and time-controlled infrared emitters allow for precise and controlled welding processes. Typical applications include instrument panels, door trims and center consoles with complex 2D or 3D...
