For large part assembly requiring high throughput, linear vibration welding is a widely used joining technology for thermoplastic parts. With an HA vibration welding machine, one part is held in a holding fixture while the other part is frictionally vibrated against it on a linear plane at 150-250Hz under carefully controlled pressure, creating frictional heat at the joining surfaces. |
Benefits of Vibration Welding |
- Ability to weld large parts and complex shapes.
- Fast cycle times.
- Compatible with most thermoplastics.
- Ability to weld several dissimilar materials.
- No consumables, fumes or emissions.
- High strength, hermetic welds are typical.
- Multiple parts per cycle can be welded.
- Heat confined to weld interface.
- Easily automated.
- Low cost, quick change tooling.
- Low maintenance.
- Low power consumption
