January 3, 2017 | LPKF Laser and ElectronicsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
LPKF Laser & Electronics has announced it will exhibit at the 2017 MD&M West Exposition, which takes place February 7-9 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. LPKF, a manufacturer of laser systems for a variety of applications, will showcase its solutions for the medical device industry in booth 1650.
One of the technologies highlighted by LPKF will be laser plastic welding; a process of bonding plastic using focused laser radiation. Clean-room compatibility and hygienic, particle-free processing makes laser plastic welding ideal for the medical device industry. Potential applications range from microfluidic devices to catheters to intravenous tubing.
Another technology represented at MD&M West will be UV laser depaneling, a completely software controlled method of removing individual circuits from larger panels. The stress-free nature of UV laser processing is perfect for medical electronics applications which carry sensitive components that could be damaged by mechanical depaneling methods such as routing or dicing.
