Applications • Carpet and Trim to Interior Automotive Panels • Automotive Pillars • Glove Boxes • Head Lamp MX Series Linear Vibration Welding Systems Assemblies • Tail Lamp Assemblies • Instrument Panels • Air Intake Manifolds • Medical Devices • Fuel Tanks • Filters Process PRESSURE LINEAR MOTION The process of vibration welding is based on simple physics. One part is held stationary in a lower tool. Under applied pressure, the mating part is vibrated against the stationary part in a linear direction. This combination of linear motion and pressure creates friction, which in turn, generates heat in the weld joint. The friction brings the two parts to their melt temperatures and bonding occurs. Design Sonics’ MX Series Linear Vibration Welders are designed for assembling large and/ or complex shaped thermoplastic parts. The machines can also be tooled to assemble multiple smaller parts simultaneously. The MX Series can bond virtually all thermoplastic materials, whether injection molded, extruded, formed or thermoformed. Dissimilar materials (with compatible melting points), materials with fillers as well as composite materials and fabrics can also be bonded. Machine Each MX Series Vibration Welder features an Allen-Bradley SLC 5/05 PLC operating system with a PanelView Plus 1000 color touch screen operator interface to program and monitor all parameters of the system insuring quality, consistency and ease in setup and use. Sonics’ patented AUTO-TUNE feature allows the system to detect, set and lock the upper tool’s optimum frequency in seconds. This facilitates maximum efficiency with minimal power to drive the tool at its pre-set amplitude. for more information: 1-800-745-1105 www.sonics.com
