A correlation between the joint strength and a process characteristic is a basic requirement for selecting the best process parameter setting. In this work, the temperature is measured during welding polyamide 6 by using a scanner-integrated pyrometer with an InGaAs-detector. The filtering of the heat radiation in the upper joining partner is taken into account by calibrating the mea surement system. By this, the measured temperature signal represents the temperature in the joining zone. A correlation is found between the measured temperature and the resulting joint strength. Moreover, high joint strengths are also seen for welds with short welding times, as far as the temperature is sufficiently high. With this knowledge, a process window can be derived easily in order to produce welds with high strength and short welding times.
