Vibration welding meets critical automotive lighting requirements.(at Automotive Lighting UK.

A CLEAR PC lens is joined to a PC/ABS housing by a Forward Technology Industries LVW 2046 vibration welder at Automotive Lighting UK.

The machine is used with three sets of twin impression nests for various automotive left and right turn indicator body mouldings. The two components have no physical location allowance and need to be precisely positioned and aligned for welding.

Automotive Lighting has used ultrasonic welding in the past but the Forward vibration welders were its first machines of this type. Joint position is critical and the location must ble
