Welding of plastics with laser radiation has been established as one of the best joining technologies in several industries. The diverse methods and techniques of applying the laser radiation allows it to be used for welding many applications. The best known method of applying the laser radiation is contour welding. In this method the laser radiation is focused by an optic into one spot. The basic function of the spot optic is therefore to focus the laser radiation. However, such an optic can do more; it can also support quality control. Many industries require that quality be controlled and monitored continually as the product moves from workstation to workstation. This control almost always comes from monitoring data which is generated during each assembly process.
