<p>A vibration weld fixture assembly provides a three-piece component joined together with two separate welding operations. The vibration weld fixture assembly includes fixed upper (12) and lower (14) tools that support first (36) and second (40) component pieces, respectively. A center tool (16), movable relative to the upper (12) and lower (14) tools, moves a third component piece (38) into engagement with one of the first (36) or second (40) component pieces for a first vibration weld operation. The center tool (16) then moves the third (38) component piece into engagement with the other of the first (36) or second (40) component pieces for a second vibration weld operation. A linear actuator (22, 24) assembly moves the center tool back and forth between the upper (12) and lower (14) tools.</p> |
