Zusammenfassung: | A rotary hot plate welding system joins portions of two parts made of thermoplastic material by inserting the two parts into a clamping mechanism with the two parts spaced from each other. The clamping mechanism is mounted on a turntable that is rotatable around an axis that is parallel to the direction of movement of the parts when they are moved to clamp them together. By indexing the turntable, the two parts are moved into alignment with at least one stationary heated plate extending between the two parts to be joined, to melt the opposed surfaces of the two parts. The turntable is then indexed to a station where the melted surfaces of the two parts are clamped together to press the melted surfaces into direct contact with each other. The two parts are cooled while they remain clamped together, in direct contact with each other. |
