Choosing a Plastic Welding Machine
Made in the USA
Choose the welding machine from the part: its size, material, joint shape and whether the joint must be hermetic. Dukane builds all the main methods, so it can weld your samples and recommend on results rather than on a catalog.
What to send EAC
- Parts and materialSamples or models, resin and any fillers.
- RequirementHermetic seal, strength, burst pressure or cosmetics.
- VolumeParts per hour and number of shifts.
- ValidationWhether weld data must be recorded.
- EnvironmentCleanroom, particulate limits, compressed air availability.
- OperatorsManual loading, or a station in an automated line.
Why servo control matters
A servo press controls weld position to within one ten-thousandth of an inch, with the velocity and force profile through the weld. That gives consistent seals, a controlled final height and recorded data. Lower-cost welders will join plastic; the question is whether they can prove they did it the same way every time.
