Vibration welding is a cost-effective thermoplastic welding process that works well in a variety of circumstances. A vibration welding machine horizontally vibrates the faces of two components together under a constant pressure to produce friction and thus heat. It is this heat that creates the weld that joins the two parts together. Vibration welding allows for precise control over the amount of frictional movement produced (amplitude), giving accurate and repeatable results. It is therefore the preferred welding method for many components, from small or curved through to large automotive components of a complex geometry.

Thermoplastic components can be welded in various different ways. Some manufacturers use hot plate, or ultrasonic welding, or even infrared welding. There are in fact more than a dozen commercially used welding techniques. The one you choose for your project will largely depend on your budget, production requirements and the nature of your components.
