Abstract
AbstractToday laser radiation as a tool for The Authors welding, cutting and marking in manufacturing of plastic components and products has achieved a good market acceptance. It offers an alternative to conventional processes such as ultrasonic, vibration or friction welding, mechanical cutting, milling or water jet cutting, tampon printing or ink jet printing. Main advantages for laser marking are flexibility and a contact free process [1]. Laser welding of plastics offers advantages in case of cleanness of processed components, low thermal and mechanical stress to components and inner sensitive parts as well as flexibility [2]. Although laser beam welding seems to be a relatively expensive processing method, savings can be achieved by entirely consideration of production process and logistics.
