nfrared welding utilizes intense infrared beams to quickly heat plastics immediately before joining.
During infrared welding, both part halves are held rigidly in position near an infrared emitting platen.
The platen then emits powerful infrared light into both parts along the determined joint path, usualy a circle or line. The platen is quickly removed and the part halves are immediately driven together and allowed to re-solidify under pressure.
