7 A Simple Diode Laser Unit A packaged laser diode with penny for scale Image of the actual laser diode chip (shown on the eye of a needle for scale) contained within the package shown in the above image.
8 Laser Transmission Welding Principle Laser radiation transmitting material 1. Laser radiation is absorbed and converted to heat Laser radiation absorbing material 2. Absorbing material melts and swells Molten polymer 3. Melt comes into contact with other half of joint 4. Heat transfer takes place, causing the other half of the joint to melt

10 Typical Welding Methods Contour Welding Simultaneous Welding Quasi-Simultaneous Welding Mask Welding
11 Riveting by Means of Laser Laser Head F F Housing Laser Beam Lens Rivet Head Source: Branson
12 Advantages of Laser Welding Parts are not subjected to mechanical stress Small and localized heat affected zone Controlled melt flash (No dust or loose flash formation) Non-contact process Almost wear-free process Generally a highly flexible process Integration into automated production lines is possible Inconspicuous weld lines possible
13 Disadvantages of Laser Welding Process can only be used to join materials with dissimilar absorption properties at the laser wavelength* Gap between joining surfaces limited to < 100 µm Contouring technique in particular only allows thin layers of melt to be produced High demands placed on the material and molding process (Narrow tolerance limits-low Warpage) Capital equipment may be relatively expensive *Butt Joints are possible
