AUTOMOTIVE Vibration welding produces Air Intake Manifolds (AIM) easier, faster, and at far less cost for car makers worldwide RESULTS • Delivers weld strength to withstand extreme burst pressures • Capable of welding complex part geometries • Cuts material and maintenance costs • Produces parts in a fraction of the time of previous processes Taking “AIM” Branson was a pioneer in vibration welding technology and a leader in bringing an application to market that produced dramatically shorter cycle times and lower costs. APPLICATION Automotive air intake manifold CHALLENGE The air intake manifold (AIM) delivers the air (oxygen) needed to generate the combustion that drives the cylinders of an automotive engine. The manifold consists of 4-to-12 tubular chambers, each one of
