subject: Advantages Of Ultrosonics Welding [print this page] To assembly plastic parts, there are several ways such as screwing, gluing, snap fits and welding. Welding of plastic parts is the most advanced technique where in the process is fast, economical, no consumables and easy for recycling.
In plastic welding there are various technologies such as Ultrasonic welding, Vibration welding, Spin welding, Hot Plate welding and laser welding. Ultrasonic Welding is the most common method being used for most of the plastic welding applications.
Ultrasonic welding is a process that uses mechanical vibrations above the audible frequency range . Vibrations produced by a perfectly tuned sonotrode or horn, as it is generally known, are used to melt the thermoplastic material at the joint line. Ultrasonic welding machines are powered with microprocessor-controlled generators, available as stand alone machine, hand-welding equipment, and components to be integrated with special purpose machines.
The state-of the art ultrasonic welding systems are available with several levels of controls including time, distance, energy and contact-cut-off welding modes setting a new standard for superior performance, ease of use, and data management. The ultrasonic welding systems are designed to use in manual, semi-automated or fully automated environments.
The modular design of the systems enables them to be easily retooled and upgraded. With a wide range of frequencies 20Khz, 30 Khz, 35 Khz, 40 Khz and 70 Khz and power outputs from 100 to 3000 Watts, RINCO can offer a suitable system for almost any application.
