Riveting is used on numerous parts such as door panels, A, B and C columns, rear quarters, cockpit, bumpers etc. Riveting is possible on any material provided that the ultrasonic is applied to the thermoplastic part.
Ultrasonic plastics welding has advantages over joining methods using solvents or adhesives. Production cycle times are usually improved with speeds in the region of 2000 parts an hour being achieved in the most favourable cases.
