Estimating the term…
A vibration welding device has a first tool with a vibration welding head arranged at a first support, wherein the vibration welding head vibrates in use in a first plane, and the first tool receives a first component, a second tool arranged at a second support, wherein the second tool receives a second component or a stack of welded components. The first and the second support are movable with respect to each other at least along a second axis perpendicular to the first plane from an initial position to a vibration welding position. A clamping arrangement having at least two oppositely arranged clamping devices, each having a clamping surface which is moveable along the first axis between a clamping position and open position, wherein in the clamping position, movement of the second component or the stack of welded components at least along the first axis is hindered during vibration welding.
A retrofitting kit for a vibration welding device for welding a first component to a second component or to a stack of welded components having a vibration welding head which vibrates during use in a first plane, along a first axis X, wherein the retrofitting kit comprises a clamping arrangement having at least two clamping devices, each having a clamping surface which is moveable along the first axis X between a clamping position and an open position so that in the clamping position a movement of the second component or the stack of welded components at least along the first axis X can be hindered during vibration welding.
