Joining / cooling<br />

Workpieces<br />

Principle<br />

Heating the joining<br />

partners using a heating<br />

element or hot gas,<br />

joining under pressure<br />

Heating a joining zone<br />

(with a specific geometry)<br />

by ultrasound vibration<br />

Welding time 20 to 40 s 0.1 to 2 s 0.2 to 10 s<br />

Benefits<br />

High strength,<br />

low cost<br />

Minimal cycle times,<br />

easy process automation<br />

Heating the joining partners<br />

by vibration or friction,<br />

joining under pressure<br />

Suitable for large parts,<br />
