Press Fit of Polycarbonate for Laser Welding
Press Fit of Polycarbonate for Laser Welding
(OP)
Inside part has a diameter of 1.312 inches. We are going to press that into another part, then do a radial laser weld. The press fit only needs to establish contact between the two pieces for welding - once it's welded, the press fit will give us no mechanical advantage.
Not being well-versed in possible tolerances of injection molded PC, and only needing the minimum/lightest of interference/contact, what would you suggest as sizes and tolerances for the two pieces?
Thanks.
