  Often people mistake vibration welding for ultrasonic welding and vice versa. This is because both methods utilize vibrational force to weld plastic assemblies. However, the reality is that both these welding techniques are very different from each other.   The vibration welding method pulsates in a linear side-to-side movement with one part proportional to another. The friction betwee...
