Infrared welding technology
IR welding is a method to permanently join thermoplastic parts using infrared radiation. Infrared radiation can be produced using short-wave or medium-wave infrared emitters. Emitter power and heating time are precisely controlled to meet application-specific demands.

Advantages of IR welding:
o Design freedom since complex 3D parting lines can be welded
o Welding of two plastic components with different characteristics is possible
o High performance plastics with various filler materials can be welded
o Non-contact welding process eliminates particle residue on hot plates
o Clean weld area since no particles are generated during joining phase
o 100% hermetic sealing is possible
o Potentially higher yield strengths for some applications
o Individually adjustable heat zones to accommodate part mismatch
o Ability to hold tighter welded part tolerances
o Focusing heat energy in precise areas allows pre-assembly of sensitive parts
o Energy efficient due to instant On/Off capability

Ultrasonic welding technology
During the ultrasonic welding process heat is generated in the joint area of two components through the use of high frequency sound waves. Ultrasonic welding is a fast, reliable process that can be effectively applied to a variety of plastics part joining applications.
KeenTec can provide independent ultrasonic welding application recommendations and use ultrasonic welding components from various manufacturers in stand-alone or fully automated, custom-designed machinery.
