In vibration welding the welding surfaces are heated up and melted by a friction movement. Like in all other welding procedures they are welded under pressure.
Typical applications
In the automotive industry: e.g. spoilers, instrument panels, glove boxes, deposit shelves, motor covers, servo-oil, Reservoirs, filters, trim strips and shock absorbers, suction pipes.
Principal advantages of the vibration welding technology:
o Welding of a continuous seam also in large parts, like the welding of air channels in I-panels
o Principle of local heating up due to friction only at the welding surfaces
o Low energy consumption
o Very short welding times in a range of seconds
o Extensive material range for almost all thermoplastics
