Linear vibration welding uses transverse, reciprocating motion; the vibration occurs in only one axis. The vibration motion occurs equally in both the x and y axes and all axes in between.
The vibration welding process eliminates the need for solvents, adhesives, mechanical fasteners, and other consumables. Additional advantages and benefits of the vibration welding process include:
- Fast, clean, energy efficient
- Suitable for large parts (up to 20" x 60") and irregularly-shaped parts
- No need for elaborate ventilation systems to remove fumes or heat
- High productivity with lower cost than many alternate assembly methods
- Ease of interface with automated assembly line production
- Can weld multiple smaller parts at one time
