Under the idea that it cannot fail, we use a unique process provided by ILC Dover when using this ArmorFlex material: lapsing welding.
Often, customers new to flexible technology and flexible isolators ask about the potential points of failure, with weld seams being a concern. The lapsing welding technique, as seen in the isolator's front, where the stripe is less transparent than the rest, involves overlapping one inch of material and welding it. Compared to pinch seam weld technology, which has more risk as it becomes the weakest point of the assembly, lapsing weld is the strongest. This technique provides a product with high integrity, minimizing the possibility of failures.
