Melting of the thermoplastics using contact surface friction:- Practically unlimited options with regard to materials selection and design, well-suited for large components.
- Different machine models for all sizes of plastic parts, creation of customer-specific special sizes.
- Flexible production systems – can be used variably for industrial mass production in the automotive sector, in the electrical and packaging industries, and in the white goods industry.
- High weld strengths.
- Extremely short cycle times, quick tool changing.
- Simple operation and handling, low maintenance requirements and reliable process control.
- Cost-effective due to low unit price.
- Can be expanded with non-contact preheating using infrared.
Application examples:
- Automotive industry: Automobile interiors and exteriors (e.g. tail lamps, flashers), instrument panels, “under-the-bonnet” (e.g. batteries, air intake manifolds).
- Non-automotive industry: Products from the white goods, electrical and packaging industries.
Components made of high temperature resistant plastics. - Low-viscosity materials.
- Plastics with a high filler contact.
- Various materials such as wood composite materials or textiles (as an alternative to gluing or mechanical joining).
