Select the right welding system when joining rotationally molded parts. It's often to a designer's advantage to make a rotationally or rotomolded part as simple as possible, then customize it with ...

Industrial lasers are used to process engineering plastics across many markets. Some examples of the common processes are shown in Figure 1, including laser marking, cutting, and welding.

Sensors provide real-time, non-contact temperature data during machining and welding, improving accuracy and efficiency. The technology is adaptable for friction stir welding, enabling precise thermal ...

The last two decades have seen substantial improvements in ultrasonic plastic-welding machines. Bench-top models feature proportional-valve controls, linear encoders, line-voltage regulation, internal ...
