Linear Vibration Welders

GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Branson, the pioneer in vibration

welding with over 35 years of production experience
is proud to offer the enhanced version of our popular
HyLine 2 Series linear vibration welder. Featuring the
all-new I-Class weld heads, Branson’s HyLine-2i Series
welders are complete assembly systems designed to w
parts of various sizes and/or irregular shapes.

The I-Class weld heads offer multiple benefits includin
tool weight to frequency ratios, higher power drives (more plastic joining capacity), PPL technology
(see Machine Description section), interchangeable/common parts across weld head models, global
commonality, and lower noise output.

Six models, VW-4i1 H, VW-6i2 H (-i3), and VW-8i4 H (-i5, -i6) are available to handle parts up to 58” by
22” (1473 by 559 mm), or multiple smaller parts.

The Branson power supplies that drive the weld heads have an adjustable vibrating frequency range of 180
to 240 Hz. Modular construction allows the individual vibrator assembly and power supply / controller
components to be adapted to automated or custom systems.

Process Description

Vibration welding is a proven welding technology capable of producing

strong, pressure tight joints in thermoplastic parts.

Frictional heat is generated by pressing the surfaces of two plastic parts

together and vibrating one of the parts through a small linear displacement

in the plane of the joint. When a molten state is reached at the joint interface,

vibration is stopped and the parts are automatically aligned. Clamping

pressure is maintained briefly while the molten plastic solidifies to form a

bond approaching or equal to the strength of the parent material.
