Abstract
A method for manufacturing a razor cartridge component comprises continuously feeding an elongated band of material, separating one or more blade support elements from the elongated band of material, stabilizing the one or more separated blade support elements in a stationary position; providing one or more razor blades; and laser welding the one or more razor blades to respective ones of the stabilized one or more blade support elements.

A method for manufacturing a razor cartridge component, comprising:
- continuously feeding an elongated band of material;
- separating one or more blade support elements from the elongated band of material;
- stabilizing one or more separated blade support elements in a stationary position;
- providing one or more razor blades;
- and
- laser welding the one or more razor blades to one or more stabilized blade support elements by scanning a laser beam over the one or more stabilized blade support elements using one or more galvo scan mirrors to steer the laser beam, where movement of the laser beam is controlled by a controller, wherein the laser beam can be controlled to weld all weld spots of a first stabilized blade support element in a first period of time and all weld spots of a second stabilized blade support element in a second, subsequent period of time.
A system for manufacturing a razor cartridge component, comprising:
- a first feeding device to continuously provide an elongated band of material;
- a separation device configured to process the elongated band of material to obtain one or more separated blade support elements;
- a stabilizing device configured to stabilize one or more separated blade support elements in a stationary position;
- a second feeding device for providing one or more razor blades;
- and
- a welding station including a laser for laser welding the one or more razor blades to one or more stabilized blade support elements, wherein a controller is used to manipulate movement of the laser, such that the laser welds all weld sports on a first stabilized blade support element in a first period of time and all weld spots of a second stabilized blade support element in a second, subsequent period of time.
