The future development of plastic laser welding automation technology

Plastic laser welding technology is a new type of welding technology. It is high-precision, efficient, and pollution-free, and has been widely used. With the continuous advancement of science and technology, plastic laser welding technology is also developing continuously, and its future development trend has attracted much attention. This article will analyze the future development of plastic laser welding automation technology from the following aspects:

1. Improve laser welding parameters and improve welding quality

The parameter selection of plastic laser welding has an important influence on the welding quality. Future research needs to conduct in-depth research on the welding process to optimize the laser welding parameters and thus improve the welding quality. At the same time, it is also necessary to study how to control the energy distribution of laser radiation to improve the quality and stability of welds.

2. We are developing new plastic laser welding materials

The material quality of plastic laser welding directly affects the quality of the weld. To this end, we need to develop new laser welding materials. These materials should have a high melting point and melting heat, a low thermal expansion coefficient, and excellent chemical corrosion resistance to meet the needs of various welding use scenarios. This has become an important research direction in the future.

3. Develop laser welding equipment suitable for complex shapes

In actual production, sometimes it is necessary to weld plastic products with complex shapes. However, the laser welding equipment currently on the market can only be used for welding plastic products with simple shapes, and cannot meet the needs of complex shapes. Therefore, in the future, it is necessary to develop laser welding equipment for complex shapes to meet the needs of various application scenarios.

4. Expand the application field of laser welding technology

Currently, the application of laser welding technology is not limited to the welding of plastics, but can also be used for the welding of various materials such as metals, glass, and ceramics. In the future, we need to further explore the application field of laser welding technology and apply it to a wider range.

5. Enhanced laser welding technology to improve the level of intelligence and automation

With the continuous development of intelligent and automated technologies, laser welding technology also needs to continuously improve its intelligence and automation levels. Future research needs to focus on the problems existing in the laser welding process, such as welding speed, welding quality and welding position, and develop more intelligent and automated laser welding equipment to improve production efficiency and production quality.

6. Promote the combination of laser welding technology and other technologies

The combination of laser welding technology and other technologies has become a research hotspot in the future. For example, the combination of laser welding technology with 3D printing technology, robotics technology, etc. can form a new, integrated production method to meet the high-demand production needs of complex products.

In short, plastic laser welding technology is a rapidly developing new technology. Future research directions and development trends mainly involve optimizing laser welding parameters, developing new plastic laser welding materials, developing laser welding equipment suitable for complex shapes, expanding the application field of laser welding technology, improving the intelligence and automation level of laser welding technology, and promoting the integration of laser welding technology with other technologies. These studies will help to further improve the quality and efficiency of laser welding technology and promote its widespread application in various fields.
