• The process is completed in a few seconds with very high reproducibility - an essential requirement for a mass production industry. Now, a new variant from the same stable of friction processes, ...

The last two decades have seen substantial improvements in ultrasonic plastic-welding machines. Bench-top models feature proportional-valve controls, linear encoders, line-voltage regulation, internal ...

Components for the aerospace or transportation industry are typical applications for fibre-reinforced thermoplastic polymer composites. These components often require the production of large, complex ...

Thermoplastic composites welding has the potential to significantly improve the sustainability of commercial aircraft production. Tier 1 airframer Collins Aerospace (Charlotte, N.C., U.S.) claims on ...

The instructions presented hereunder are general in nature and apply to all welding processes for tool steels. It should be pointed out that there are several companies who specialise in repair ...

For over 30 years, Sinergo has developed special electromagnetic induction machines. In the last 10 years, the focus has been on the technique of heating composite materials by means of ...
