Laser welding of a water meter housing (Remote transmission)
Industrial need
Ensuring the assembly of leak-tight, tamper-proof electronic housings for remote water consumption metering systems. The challenge is to secure the component while preserving the integrity of the integrated electronics.
IREPA LASER solution
Implementation of a laser transmission welding process enabling plastic housings to be joined without adhesive. The process is designed to avoid any thermal or mechanical interaction with the internal electronic components.
Technical challenge
Producing a permanent, leak-tight and tamper-proof joint without adhesive, while ensuring the laser process has no impact on the on-board electronics.
Results achieved
The process ensures complete protection of the integrated electronics and enables an adhesive-free, fully sealed and tamper-proof assembly suited to the requirements of remote transmission devices.
