IR in Plastics
Infrared technology from Heraeus Noblelight is hard at work in many applications within the plastic industry:
- Heat staking - This cost-effective method of assembling plastic components uses concentrated IR energy to focus heat on the plastic stake. Non-contact heat from the infrared lamps reduces energy consumption and eliminates heat damage to temperature-sensitive surfaces.
- Plastics Welding - For plastic parts, Infrared Welding can be a beneficial replacement for certain traditional hot-plate and vibration welding applications. The use of a controlled IR light source (heater) with accurately regulated time and temperature in a precise location allows more accurate process control on plastic assemblies.
- Other Plastics Processes - Infrared is well-suited a number of plastics processes. This page lists just a few of these.
