Hybrid Welding


The hybrid welding technology has been developed by LPKF Laser & Electronics AG, Plastics Welding Division in cooperation with the Institute Bayerisches Laserzentrum gGmbH. It is an approach to provide cost-effective and tool-independent laser welding systems, which are able to compensate for the geometrical deviations that large, three-dimensional joining partners are afflicted with.

The technology employs a combination of laser light with the infrared radiation emitted by conventional halogen heating lamps. This concept of a dual irradiance has already proven to increase both, processing speed and fault-tolerance.

Target applications of the hybrid welding technology are not only structural automotive parts, e.g. head and rear lamps and plastic engine parts, but also consumer products and medical applications.
