1. A retrofitting kit for a vibration welding device for welding a first component to a second component or to a stack of welded components having a vibration welding head which vibrates during use in a first plane, along a first axis X, wherein the retrofitting kit comprises a clamping arrangement having at least two clamping devices, each having a clamping surface which is moveable along the first axis X between a clamping position and an open position so that in the clamping position a movement of the second component or the stack of welded components at least along the first axis X can be hindered during vibration welding.
