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.

As a spin-off of our participation in the 60. Welding Conference, WELDING ENGINEERING IN THE AGE OF INDUSTRY 4.0, 16-18 October 2018, Sosnowiec, Poland, our welding specialist, dr. Marcin Alexy recently gave a lecture on joining technologies for battery connections at the Instytut Spawalnictwa in Gliwice, Poland.

For automotive power train manufacturers, it is vital to devise a stator welding process and equipment that guarantee 100% process quality in a full automotive power train production line. In the first part of this blog, we discussed how hot crimping and hairclip welding can help manufacturers maintain process quality.

As the use of electric motors in automobile power trains increases, it is crucial to develop a robust and stable stator welding process. The stator is the stationary part of an electric motor – an electromagnet made up of a core and an electrically conductive wire. For automotive power train manufacturers, it is vital to devise a stator welding process and equipment that guarantee 100% process quality in a full automotive power train production line. 

AMADA WELD TECH announces that it offers anisotropic conductive film (ACF) bonding for a range of automotive advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). The ACF bonding systems are used to make the interconnection between the front-facing camera and the printed circuit board (PCB) that processes the data in high end cameras for collision warning and lane departure warning system (LDWS) applications.

AMADA WELD TECH announces the availability of the LMWS Pulsed Fiber Laser Welding System. Paired with the ML-7370D 70W pulsed fiber laser, the LMWS offers an advanced processing system ideal for welding dissimilar metals, including copper (Cu) to aluminum, aluminum to stainless steel (SS) and steel, and copper to stainless steel.
