  • MACHINE AND METHOD FOR WELDING PLASTIC PARTS TOGETHER
    Publication number: 20220274350
    Abstract: A first plastic part is fixtured in a first fixture, and a second plastic part is fixtured in a second fixture for welding to each other. The first plastic part can be independently moved relative to the second plastic part in each of three directions: 1) linearly in a direction parallel with a z-axis, 2) linearly in a direction parallel with an x-axis, and 3) circularly in a circular arc about an axis parallel with a y-axis.
    Type: Application

  • Limiting dispersion of IR radiation from a heater element during plastic welding
    Patent number: 10549482
    Abstract: In a process for welding plastic parts together, an IR shield redirects IR radiation emitted from a heater of a heating tool so that IR radiation which would otherwise be directly incident on certain portions of a plastic part and/or on other parts of the heating tool is avoided.
