Hot plate welding machine
We have servo motor hot plate welding machines, pneumatic and hydraulic hot plate welding machine with different sizes, vertical hot plate welding machine and horizontal hot plate welding machine, to meet different customers’ requirement.
Hot-plate welding is one of the simplest and most versatile method for joining plastic parts. It works well with small or large, flat or contoured ones. It can handle single or multiple assemblies at once. Unlike other methods like ultrasonic or vibration welding, hot-plate welding is often more effective.
In the automotive industry, it’s used for assembling headlights, taillights, ductwork, manifolds, batteries, fuel tanks, filter housings, and coolant and fluid reservoirs. Appliance manufacturers use it for spray arms, agitators, balance rings, brushes, and reservoirs. It’s also employed in the hardware industry for window and door frames. Medical device makers use hot plate welding for sharps containers and foot massagers. Even larger items like barrels, pallets, and crates can be made using this technique.
Cold tool moving plate in the hot plate welding machine
- Precision guide rails: upper and lower slide movement is guided by four sets of precision guide rails.
- Servo geared motors
- Safe hanging teeth: to ensure that the slide can be safely protected when stopping in any position
- Displacement sensors: Displacement sensors guarantee absolute slide movement
- Precision rack and pinion: the slide movement is driven by two sets of rack and pinion. Good guarantee of the parallelism of the slide movement
- Precision guide rails: The hot tool slide movement is guided by two sets of precision guide rails.

lens welding rib material recommendation : PMMA
lamp housing welding rib material recommendation:ABS PC-ABS (PC content is recommended to be less than 30%) ASA
Not the above materials, we will communicate again
If the lens using PC material contact welding wire drawing serious, it is recommended to use TR welding, noncontact does not exist wire drawing problem.
Tooling material for example:

Jfortune reply:
It can all use low temperature welding, hot plate with Teflon coating. The cost will be increased a little correspondingly, and the welding cycle will also increase. The total welding cycle is about 55 seconds (excluding manual loading and unloading parts).
In addition, the equipment requirements will increase, the need to speed up the equipment’s running: because low temperature welding, while product cooling needs accelerate, so the cost of equipment will increase a little too.

Applications
Large dimensions and complex geometries
Large parts in the automotive industry, including instrument and door panels, center consoles
Parts with complex 3D weld contours
Air ducts
Fluid tanks/water expansion tanks
Tank systems/tank filters
Housings, such as air or other filter housings
Washing machine pedestals
5-Minute Automatic Tool Change
Automatic clamping and quick pneumatic/electrical connections reduce tooling changeover time and production downtime.
Automatic Tool Change System for Hot Plate Welding Machines
Typical tooling changeover time: approximately 5 minutes.
The quick-change system can include:
- Quick pneumatic and electrical connections for the upper cold tool
- Automatic clamping of the upper cold tool
- Automatic electrical connection for hot-tool heating circuits
- Automatic clamping of the hot tool
- Automatic clamping of the lower cold tool
- Quick pneumatic and electrical connections for the lower cold tool
