Guido wants to know - How does ultrasonic welding work

Functional integration from a single source

At FAKUMA 2014, Herrmann Ultraschall is presenting a concept study on process linking with a touch sensitive small robot and a HiQ DIALOG series ultrasonic welding machine. Additional processes which are both upstream and downstream from the welding are to be brought together in the controls of the ultrasonic welding machine: Handling/feeding, testing, marking. The trend towards traceability is becoming stronger.

This trend cannot be overlooked: Companies who weld thermoplastic parts using ultrasonics are increasingly inquiring about the integration of additional upstream and downstream processes that are combined in the control system of one single ultrasonic welding machine.

The use of patented ultrasonic sealing technology helps to achieve significant material and energy savings. The gentle ultrasonic sealing process allows the use of thinner and less expensive packaging films because no additional hot sealing layer is needed in the film. Further, ultrasonic sealing produces narrower seals, which reduces the amount of material needed.
