Assembly in Action SmarTire Systems Inc. is using laser welding to create an impermeable joint between the dissimilar resins making up the housing on its wireless tire monitors. SmartWave monitor in a housing made of Zytel HTN PPA and Zytel HTN PPA SuperStructural resins from Dupont (Wilmington, DE). SmartTire then uses a laser welder and Dupont-speciﬁed welding protocol to join the two parts, creating an impermeable seal between the two materials. The application represents the ﬁ rst time a customer has successfully used lasers to join the two dissimilar materials. The result is an assembly that can withstand pressure spikes up to 200 psi and temperatures as high as 200 C. SmarTire is also using lasers to etch a bar code and numeric tracking information on each SmartWave system. By doing so, it ensures that the data will be readable even after prolonged use, in spite of the units’ small marking area. For more on plastics and laser welding, visit www.dupont.com. Automatic.
