摘要

A method for arranging a thermoplastic insert unit (2) in a thermoplastic sandwich product (1) having at least one planar or virtually planar section by the application of ultrasonic energy (6, 8). A thermoplastic sandwich product (1) comprises at least one fibre-reinforced thermoplastic covering layer (7) and a thermoplastic core which is not completely solid (8).
