Laser welding of plastics in the automotive industry

Versatile and fast

The percentage of plastics used in the automobile industry is constantly increasing. The aim of this is firstly to cut costs and secondly to reduce the weight. Many of these plastic components have to be joined together. The laser welding of plastics is a technique that has grown enormously within the automobile industry over recent years. Applications range from sensors for controlling various components, and tanks for oil, gasoline, or water, right through to interior or exterior uses.
