To keep pace in a fast-moving global automotive market, auto manufacturers and suppliers must continue to develop lightweight, cost-effective vehicle plastic components which optimize strength, style, and performance. Emerson’s array of plastic welding technologies provide proven, high-volume component assembly solutions, delivering long-term durability and performance of exterior components that adhesives and fasteners simply cannot match.
Far more than essential safety devices, taillights have evolved into a distinctive feature of automotive design. Larger, bolder, and brighter than ever, today’s taillights combine colored and transparent plastics with complex curves, while hermetically sealing multiple lamps, sensors and electronics. To weld them with superior strength, flash-free aesthetics, and durable hermetic seals, Emerson offers a comprehensive range of Branson laser welding and clean vibration welding technologies for tail light assembly.
In a competitive automotive industry, every detail makes a statement that can add to brand value. Like distinctive light strips on grilles, fascia, or rear-view mirrors, which were once only seen on luxury-class vehicles. Today, however, Branson laser and vibration welding technologies make joining the elements of these dimensionally complex assemblies – crystal-clear plastics, LEDs, sensors, electronics, and wiring – highly reliable and truly economical.
Illuminated vehicle logos are another mark of vehicle distinction and a vital element of automotive marketing. But joining diverse and challenging materials, some with embedded LEDs, and circuitry into durable, all-weather assemblies for front fascia or grills poses technical challenges. The solution, in many cases, is a new Branson quasi-simultaneous laser welding technology that applies laser energy more selectively to bond complex and intricate parts.
Sleek, seamless, and strong, today’s bumpers not only protect vehicle occupants from accidents, but house technologies to help drivers avoid them: radar, cameras, sensors, and supporting circuitry. Fortunately, Branson plastic welding technology brings all the pieces together. Laser, vibration, and ultrasonic welders reliably bond sub-assemblies such as device housings, brackets, stiffeners and energy absorbing components to these aesthetically pleasing yet physically demanding components.

Customers often face a challenge to have the most up to date and current information of their Plant assets. Very often, movement of assets in the plant or across factories in a different geographical location means, we can lose sight of the asset information or the current information may be outdated. Knowing the health of your assets and its lifecycle is an important factor for the maintenance and OPEX planning in every organization.
A proactive maintenance and calibration plan of your equipment and processes minimizes the risk and uncertainties of measurement, optimizing equipment effectiveness, all while minimizing downstream delays and defects.
