An induction welding system includes a first gantry, a second gantry, and a support structure. The first gantry includes a first frame and a first plurality of trunks. The first plurality of trunks defines a first curved inner support surface of the first gantry. The first curved inner support surface has a first curvature geometry. The second gantry includes a second frame and a second plurality of trunks. The second plurality of trunks defines a second curved inner support surface of the second gantry. The second curved inner support surface has a second curvature geometry which is different than the first curvature geometry. The support structure includes at least one tooling member defining a curved outer support surface of the support structure. The support structure is longitudinally moveable relative to the first gantry and the second gantry.

A vibration welding device includes a base plate, a vibrating body, and a plurality of position adjusting jigs. The vibrating body is capable of vibrating while holding an interior part which is an object to be welded. The base plate is disposed below the vibrating body. The base plate holds an instrument panel which is an object to be welded. The position adjusting jigs are connected to the vibrating body so as to be adjustable in position. The plurality of position adjusting jigs are disposed independently of each other.

A machine for fitting pipe and components together that has a traveling beam that rolls over a support structure. Various clamps, vices and other devices to hold pipes and fittings are attached to the beam or other parts of the support structure. Motion could be in any direction so as to algin pipes or fittings to be in position to be joined together.

There is provided an apparatus 1 that includes a pair of molds 10a and 10b that press together, heat, and weld an overlapping part of a plurality of film-like members, a pair of heater blocks 20a and 20b that respectively support the pair of molds; a plurality of first support blocks 37 that are connected via a plurality of rod-like members 50, which midway include parts that restrict transmission of heat, to one heater block 20a; a plurality of second support blocks 38 that are connected via the plurality of rod-like members to the other heater block 20b; and a driving mechanism 60 that changes, via the support blocks, a gap between the pair of molds to press together the film-like members. The plurality of first support blocks include at least one movable support block 39 including a mechanism 35 that moves in a first direction relative to the driving mechanism corresponding to thermal deformation in the first direction of the heater block to be supported, and the plurality of second support blocks include at least one movable support block 39.

A plastic welding machine for welding plastic parts together is capable of controlling the weld force vector in both magnitude and direction.

A welding head comprises a welding element (51) for welding a lid (1) to an opening device of a container (10). The welding head (43) further comprises a 5 compensating device (62) operable for compensating a misalignment between the welding element (51) and the lid (1), thereby centering the welding element (51) relative to the lid (1).

A head seal device of a bag making apparatus includes a pair of seal units configured to face each other in a facing direction. Each of the seal units includes a heat seal member and a heater. The heat seal device includes an adjustment unit configured to move the first seal unit in a width direction of continuous sheet panels, and to move the second seal unit in the width direction of the sheet panels in accordance with movement of the first seal unit in the width direction.

An apparatus for capping a container (10) comprises: a conveying device for conveying the container (10) along a path; an applying head (23) for applying a lid (1) onto a neck (9) included in an opening device of the container (10); a welding head (43) arranged downstream of the applying head (23), the welding head (43) comprising a welding element (51) for welding the lid (1) to the opening device.

A tooling apparatus may include a pair of elongated tooling dies independently rotatable about a common central axis. Each tooling die may have a layup surface including a web layup surface and at least one flange layup surface oriented non-parallel to the web layup surface and configured to receive at least one composite ply to form a stringer layup half having a web and at least one flange. The tooling dies may be rotatable into side-by-side relation causing the webs of the stringer layup halves to be positioned in back-to-back mating contact with one another.

A welding head comprises a welding element for welding a lid to an opening device of a container, a supporting body for supporting the welding element and a compensating device for compensating a possible mutual mispositioning of the welding element and the lid during welding of the lid to the opening device, the compensating device being interposed between the supporting body and the welding element, the compensating device comprising a planar spring arrangement provided with at least one planar spring element having a first member and a second member mutually connected by deformable elements.
