Hot Plate Welders
Hot Plate Welders
The process of hot plate welding uses a heated platen to melt the joining surfaces of the two halves of a thermoplastic part. The part halves are brought into contact with a precisely heated platen for a predetermined period. After the plastic interfaces have melted, the parts are brought together to form a molecular, permanent, and often hermetic bond. A properly designed joint welded under precise process control often equals or exceeds the strength of any other part area.Typical applications include automobile lighting, batteries, fuel tanks, and washer bottles.Advantages of hot plate welding include precise control of the melt temperature, excellent weld strength, ability to weld large, complex parts, and ease of attaining hermetic seals.
