Pulse arc welding is a fast, clean and effective alternative to soldering for coil termination. Since coils with multiple termination points can be welded at one automation station, the technique can increase line throughput.

From oxygen sensors and pressure pumps to motors and battery packs, every component of a ventilator requires superior welds

AMADA WELD TECH, formerly Amada Miyachi Europe, is pleased to announce the new company name, effective April 1, 2020. This name change will allow the company to present themselves as an AMADA group company with the highest experience in welding and associated precision technologies.

Whether manufacturing sensors for use in high-value, low-volume handmade devices or for highly cost-sensitive mass-produced items, manufacturers are experiencing increased pressure to deliver higher quality than in the past. For many, taking advantage of modern micro welding techniques can offer the assembly quality and robustness manufacturers desire. 

In the wearables market, the goal of joining parts together is not necessarily to be seamless. For these devices, the major manufacturing question is how to integrate high technology – with its metalized circuitry – into items that flex with the patient’s form. Manufacturers must incorporate the right welding or bonding technology to enable such flexibility while connecting electrical components.

The newest generation of under-the-skin devices, like replacement heart valves and neurological implants, has a Class III designation, requiring 100 percent hermeticity and joint integrity. To achieve that, manufacturers must incorporate the right welding and bonding technology.
