ABSTRACT:
To vibration weld two components (1, 2), which are to be joined together on a welding surface (8), a vibrational movement (7) is transmitted from a tool (3) to the vibrating component (1) while the other component (2) is fixed. During the procedure, the tool (3) presses the vibrating component (1) onto the fixed component (2) in a direction (9) substantially perpendicular to the vibrational movement (7). To avoid the need for a structured surface on the tool (3) in order to transmit the vibrational movement to the vibrating component, which structured surface could leave marks on the vibrating component, the vibrating component (1) has at least one relief-like depression (5) or elevation (6), which transmits the vibrational movement from the tool (3) to the vibrating component (1). A tool for vibration welding two components has at least one elevation (6) or depression (5), which matingly engages a depression (5) or elevation (6) on the component (1) to be vibrated to transmit the vibrational movement (7) of the tool (3).
