A method for producing a plastics material container from half-shells. The half-shells are aligned at respective edges thereof in at least two directions in space, and then at joined by being butt welded together at the respective edges thereof.
Claims18
A method for producing a container composed of plastic, the method comprising:
- aligning half-shells with respect to one another in at least two directions in space;
- transporting the aligned half-shells to a joining station via vacuum grippers, wherein some of the vacuum grippers are configured to engage the half-shells from an inside surface of the half-shells, while other vacuum grippers are configured to engage the half-shells from an outside surface of the half-shells;
- and
- joining the aligned half-shells at respective edges thereof.
