Is there any way of testing/characteritising the polymer heat/energy absorption during laser welding? Laser welding 2 PE tubing onto HDPE shaft using polyester heatshrink. Any ideas?
Thanks
Thank you patprimmer,
the welder spin the catheter shaft while the laser beam welds the compontents together. Our process is operating within spec but we get rejects still. Both under and over welds. I noticed our shafts are not straight and slightly bent, and wobble when being rotated. I...
Have started new job involving Laser Welding for medical devices. Welding 2 hdpe tubing onto cathether shafts. From a polymer point of view, what would be the most critical factors effecting the weld?
Thank you
