Friction welding machines using linear vibration or spinning

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).
