Pre-loaded Ultrasonic Unit Saves Time in Automation
Compact ultrasonic actuators with low weight can be easily mounted on robot arms and are thus well suited for fast and low-energy joining of plastic parts. Pre-loading the pneumatic cylinder of the actuator saves time – up to 1 second per weld spot. This is particularly noticeable in applications with many weld spots. Pre-loading means…
Flawless 3-D lights
Daytime running lights have become mandatory by EU Standards as of recently and are a popular style element. Their complex 3-D shape represents a challenge for joining technology. The ultrasonic welding tool can be easily adapted to the design type by means of studs in various heights. Short cycle times and indexed tool change kits…
Tips on Using Ultrasonic Welding within an Automation Process
Natasha Townsend, Associate Editor Despite the higher initial investment, the speed of ultrasonic welding as a joining process makes it an attractive process during automated production. During the process, ultrasonic vibrations generated through the use of electrical voltage melt the plastic material precisely at a defined joining point or area and create a homogeneous connection.…
Herrmann Ultrasonics, Inc. will show the new MPW system at the PLAST-EX 2013
The number of plastic components with integrated membranes is on the rise. These membranes are either used in the automotive industry as pressure-compensating elements, which protect against condensate and compensate for changes in pressure, or they are used as filter media in technical medical components and consumer items. Until now two steps were needed to…
