Joining Technologies for Plastics

Product catalog summary
Overview
Branson is a global leader in plastics joining technologies, offering a wide range of solutions tailored to various applications. With facilities across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, Branson provides comprehensive support from consultation to final production, ensuring high-quality and efficient manufacturing processes.
Ultrasonic Welding
This technique uses high-frequency vibrations to generate heat, melting plastic at the interface to create strong bonds. It is efficient, non-contaminating, and easily integrated into automated systems, suitable for delicate electronic components and various thermoplastic applications.
Vibration Welding
Vibration welding is ideal for creating high-strength, leakproof seals in thermoplastics, especially for irregularly shaped parts. It is economical for high-volume production and offers flexibility with tool changeouts. Branson also provides orbital vibration technology for expanded joint welding opportunities.
Hybrid Welding
This process combines infrared and vibration techniques, using localized infrared preheating to minimize particles and produce clean, high-strength joints. It reduces residual stresses and welding time, offering more options for smart molding joint design.
Spin Welding
Spin welding is suitable for round part interfaces, generating frictional heat to create strong, hermetic seals. It is economical, adaptable to automation, and provides fast cycle times.
Thermal Welding
Thermal welding allows molten plastic to capture components or connect parts like metal or glass-filled resins. It is gentle on fragile components and used for heat staking, insertion, and other applications.
Infrared Welding
This non-contact method uses radiant heat to melt mating surfaces, allowing for complex designs and producing strong, airtight welds. It is effective for high-temperature processing and semi-crystalline resins.
Laser Welding
Laser welding uses the STTIr™ principle to join materials not easily welded by other methods. It offers rapid cycle times, minimal flash, and excellent cosmetic properties, suitable for high-volume applications.
Hot Plate Welding
This cost-effective technique uses a heated platen to weld parts, allowing for greater design latitude and compatibility with most thermoplastics.
Markets and Applications
Branson's technologies serve various sectors, including medical, electronics, automotive, appliances, textiles, and packaging. They provide eco-friendly solutions that are energy-efficient and free from consumables.
Global Presence and Innovation
With over 1600 employees in 70+ sites worldwide, Branson offers local solutions and collaborates globally to address market changes, product quality, and environmental compliance. As part of Emerson, Branson is committed to innovation in industrial automation and resolving global issues.

Joining Technologies for Plastics-4

Vibration Welding Vibration welding creates high-strength, leakproof hermetic seals with most thermoplastics and is useful for assembling irregularly shaped parts. The solid weld flash makes this technique attractive for industrial parts assembly. It is economical and fast for high-volume production, and flexible for multiple tool changeouts in the same machine. The process creates friction/heat at the joint interface of the parts to be mated, until the right molten state is reached. The plastic then solidifies under clamping pressure and forms a permanent bond. In addition to linear vibration...

Joining Technologies for Plastics-5

Infrared Welding Infrared welding, a non-contact assembly method, uses localized radiant heat from contour-adopted, broadband metal foil emitters to melt the mating surfaces of the parts to be assembled. This permits greater freedom in designing parts such as complex curved joints and internal walls. The technique produces strong, airtight welds with a solid, homogeneous bead and very good flash quality. Compatible with most thermoplastics, infrared welding is particularly appropriate for higher-temperatures processing, and is effective on semi-crystalline resins such as polyethylene and polypropylene....
