Ilona Rácz, head of the FETI Advanced Material Group, shared insights on the challenges and beauties of polymer laser welding with New Technology magazine.
"FETI places great emphasis on the environment and sustainability, and we are happy to use this solution because laser welding consumes less energy than other welding solutions, produces fewer emissions than bonded joints and uses less adhesive."
"A big advantage for our customers is that laser welding can be automated, which increases productivity and welding accuracy. This is particularly important in the automotive and electronics industries.
In a recent job we had to compete with vibration welding, where we had to create 30 metres of joints on a single product. By using a laser and building an automated production cell, we reduced the cycle time for welding by a tenth."
With decades of experience and innovative processes, Furukawa Electric Institute of Technology (FETI) not only focuses on connecting polymers, but also takes a problem-solving and customer-centric approach to meet individual needs.
