Vibration welding physically moves one of two parts horizontally under pressure, creating heat through surface friction that melts and welds the parts together.
Vibration welding generates frictional heat to produce robust, pressure-tight joints in thermoplastic parts. It creates precise seals for a wide range of sizes, intricate areas, multi-plane objects and curved surfaces. This energy-efficient technology can optimize productivity on automated assembly lines at a lower cost than many alternative methods.
The joining of thermoplastic materials by using vibration welding is carried out by melting the two surfaces in contact.
The welding method is a clutch for which there is no need to supply heat from the outside: it comes from the dissipation of the energy produced by friction between the two components.
The local temperature increase, necessary for the welding process, is obtained by the rubbing between the two components, able to melt the welding perimeter of the two pieces to be welded.
