Services & Applications

Bonding & Assembly

Effective welding of miniature parts with high yield requires techniques for holding the parts in contact with a controlled force and applying a highly localized heat source to the weld area. The localized heating generated by a focused laser beam is ideal for welding miniature metal and plastic components.

Laser micro-welding offers an effective method for joining a wide range of metal and organic materials. At Potomac, we frequently use pulsed infrared lasers to weld metals and thermoplastics with precision. Achieving optimal results requires careful control of laser energy and pulse duration, along with proper part fixturing to ensure accuracy and consistency.

Precision dispensing of epoxy is often a highly effective method for assembling electronic and optical devices. Potomac has experience with precision placement of epoxies in dot sizes as small as 150 microns, as well as use of encapsulation and underfill compounds.
