Hot Plate Welding Process Advantages

The hot plate welding process provides the following advantages:
 

• Ability to weld large parts and complex shapes and compound contours with little regard to part and joint geometry.
• Can weld tall, thin, non-supported interior walls.
• Highest joint strength of any weld process when welding PP,PE, TPE and EPDM materials.
• Significantly smoother flash with less particulate than other assembly methods such as Vibration Welding.
• Compatible with most thermoplastics.
• High strength, hermetic welds are typical.
• Multiple parts per cycle can be welded.
• Easily automated.
• Relatively low equipment cost.
• Nature of the process is simple and highly forgiving of part tolerances when compared with other assembly processes.
