BRANSON Clean Vibration Technology (CVT) Vibration Welding with IR Preheat Important trends in the plastics industry have raised the standards for plastic weld joints. The increasing use of low-viscous polymers, high-temperature formulations, functional fillers, and the need for superior bonding of unlike materials have added complexity to the plastic assembly process. Designers are demanding parts with particulate-free, visible weld lines, giving them design flexibility, part integrity, and manufacturing efficiency in their products. A metal-foil filament imbedded in ceramic preheats the...

How Clean Vibration Technology Works CVT Process Overview A ceramic fixture houses a metalfoil infrared emitter that conforms precisely to the joint lines of the two parts to be assembled. Solid Friction Transient Phase Steady State Melt Flow Cooling / Decay State Aver Pene Conventional Vibration (particles & angel hair) Parts to be joined are positioned above Clean Vibration PHASE 1 PHASE 2 PHASE 3 PHASE 4 and below the emitter and brought PHASE 1 PHASE 2 Transient PHASE 3 Steady State PHASECooling / Decay State 4 Solid Friction Phase Melt Flow PHASE touching. PHASE 3 close to it without 1...
