TRANSMISSION AS FUNCTION OF WAVELENGTH (I)
Amorphous plastics like
PMMA have high
transparency up to. 1,200 nm,
At semi-crystaline plastics like
PP or PA6 transparency is
sometime restricted by
internal scattering at
crystaline phases.
Reflection of VIS and NIR
radiation at amorphous
plastics is nearly constant
(e.g. PMMA R=10%),
At semi-crystaline plastics
reflection can be increased by
internal scattering.

ADAPTION OF ABSORPTION BY ADDITIVES
To increase the absorption of plastics for laser radiation typically anorganic pigments or
organic dyes are used.
Examples are:
Anorganic pigments:
Carbon black,
Color effect pigments,
Copper based pigments,
Nano-ITO-pigments.
Organic dyes:
Lumogen dyes,
Clearweld dyes.

PLASTIC MATERIALS SUITABLE FOR LASER BEAM WELDING
In principle all kind of thermoplastics and thermoplastic elastomers can be successfully laser
welded.
Following conditions must be fulfilled:
Resin of the lower component need to absorb the laser radiation
Resin of upper component should be transparent to laser radiation
Resins of joining partners must have an overlapping of melting temperature range
Resins of joining partners must be miscible (Melt-flow index, surface polarity, …)

PROCESS OF THROUGH TRANSMISSION LASER WELDING
A first layer is transparent to the
laser radiation.
A second layer is absorbing the
laser radiation.
At the interaction area of the
absorbing layer the laser energy
will be transformed into process
heat for melting the resin.
By close contact of both layers
(using a clamping force) the
transparent resin will also be melt
by heat conduction.
During re-solidification of the resin
a weld joint with high strength and
quality will be generated.
Typical laser sources used for
plastic welding are diode, Nd:YAG
or fiber lasers in a wavelength
range from 800 nm to 1,100 nm.

CONTOUR WELDING WITH PYROMETER
Pyrometer is only measuring temperature at constant laser power,
yet, it does not actively control the laser power
high variances within the welding temperature
Pyrometer is measuring temperature and is, at the same
time, actively controlling the laser power
welding temperature is thus kept at a constant level
