| * Best for single-insert high-volume runs |
* Best for multiple inserts processed simultaneously |
| * Generates heat via high-frequency mechanical friction |
* Generates heat via precise, direct thermal transfer |
| * Ultra-fast cycle times (often under 1 second per insert) |
* Slower cycle times, but optimized by multi-point tooling |
| * Restricted to a single plane per cycle |
* Easily accommodates complex, multi-plane geometries |
| * Ideal for robust parts that can withstand high-frequency vibration |
* Ideal for intricate, delicate components or sensitive electronics |
| * Creates a high-strength bond with excellent material displacement |
* Delivers a low-stress bond with minimal residual plastic tension |
