Abstract: A method of producing a fastening arrangement for the position-correct fastening of a component to a structural part of a motor vehicle comprises the steps: providing of the structural part; providing of a first tolerance compensation element and a second tolerance compensation element; positioning of the first tolerance compensation element, while holding the structural part firmly, relative to the structural part in a nominal position for the later position-correct fastening of the component to be fastened, and holding of the first tolerance compensation element in the nominal position, the first tolerance compensation element being positioned with a gap relative to the structural part; inserting of the second tolerance compensation element between the first tolerance compensation element and the structural part, so that the gap between the first tolerance compensation element and the structural part is bridged over; joining of the second tolerance compensation element to the first tolerance compensation el

Abstract: An apparatus, method, in-line press, and cassette for conditioning a substrate for subsequent processing, the apparatus comprising: an ultrasonic energy device with an ultrasonic horn having a contact surface; a rotatable cylinder having a raised profile with a linear or curvilinear pattern, the rotatable cylinder disposed adjacent the horn, but on an opposite side from the substrate; wherein the substrate is squeezed between the contact surface of the ultrasonic horn and the pattern on the rotatable cylinder to thereby apply heat and pressure during operation of the ultrasonic energy device to create a linear or curvilinear indentation in a surface of the substrate.
