LPKF‘s laser plastic welding technology is a highly precise and environmentally friendly solution for joining plastic components, offering a clean, repeatable process that does not involve solvents, chemicals, or mechanical stress. It works by passing a laser beam through a laser-transparent upper plastic layer that is then absorbed by a lower layer, creating a controlled weld. The technology creates joints as strong as the material itself with clean finishes and completely sealed, precise weld seams.
LPKF‘s continued technological advancements have positioned the company as a pioneer, offering solutions that address growing industry demands.
Richard Booth, Founder and Chairman of Altus Group and Danutek, commented: „LPKF is a high-quality supplier, and we have been very impressed with their support and infrastructure for PCB laser depaneling. This has enabled our team to achieve early success in identifying and implementing projects across our region and to build significant confidence in our partnership.” He added: “Expanding our relationship into another exciting business unit is a natural progression. With laser plastic welding, LPKF already has established connections with many of our existing customers and many references we can build upon. We anticipate the same success with this product line as we‘ve experienced with their depaneling solutions.”
The technology is compatible with a wide range of thermoplastic materials, making it versatile for various applications. The company also offers several system configurations, from standalone workstations to fully integrated production solutions, allowing manufacturers to select the ideal setup for their specific requirements.
