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.
