spin welding

Pigment in the plastic fitting will have little or no effect on Spin Welding.

Spin welding is a particular form of frictional welding.

Please consider the following when Spin Welding:

Spin welding systems consist of two chucks for holding the materials to be welded, one of which is fixed and the other rotating.

Spin welding is a friction welding technique used on thermoplastic materials, in which the parts to be welded are heated by friction.

Linear friction welding (LFW) is similar to spin welding except that the moving chuck oscillates laterally instead of spinning.

Forward Technology Industries, SA in France (formerly called Mecasonic) developed the most advanced ultrasonic and spin welding equipment available.

Linear friction welding requires more complex machinery than spin welding, but has the advantage that parts of any shape can be joined, as opposed to parts with a circular meeting point.

Orbital friction welding is similar to spin welding, but uses a more complex machine to produce an orbital motion in which the moving part rotates in a small circle, much smaller than the size of the joint as a whole.
