This video showcases thermal welding of an adhesive patch to a wearable medical device using a C-Series machine in an R&D setting. Applications like this are common in wearable and skin-contact medical devices, where secure bonding and material compatibility are critical to both performance and patient safety.
In this process, the adhesive patch is precisely aligned to the plastic housing using a custom fixture designed to ensure repeatable positioning. Controlled heat and pressure are then applied to create a consistent bond without damaging the surrounding materials or compromising the integrity of the device.
The system is equipped with a rotary table, allowing multiple parts to be processed in sequence and improving overall throughput, even in a development environment. This configuration supports efficient prototyping, process validation, and transition to high-volume manufacturing.
Thermal Press International’s equipment is designed to handle complex, multi-material assemblies, providing the control, repeatability, and flexibility required for advanced medical device applications.
