  • Ultrasonic and vibration welding of thermoplastics using a vibratable tool
    Patent number: 12583185
    Abstract: A system for ultrasonic or vibration welding, staking, swaging, forming or degating of a thermoplastic workpiece includes a vibratable horn having a face, a thermoplastic workpiece, and a vibratable tool positioned between the vibratable horn and the thermoplastic workpiece. The system is configured to energize the vibratable horn to transfer energy from the vibratable horn through the vibratable tool to the thermoplastic workpiece to induce welding, staking, swaging, forming or degating of the thermoplastic workpiece. Optionally, the upper and/or lower surfaces of the vibratable tool may have three-dimensional contour(s) that are complementary to three-dimensional contour(s) of the vibratable horn and/or the thermoplastic workpiece. Additional systems and methods for ultrasonic or vibration welding, staking, swaging, forming or degating of a thermoplastic workpiece are also disclosed.
