Plastic Joining Technologies, Ultrasonic

Branson Ultrasonics, a leading innovator in the Industrial Automation division of Emerson, a diversified global manufacturing and technology company, is the world’s major resource for Plastic Joining Technologies. Emerson is a progressive company working to develop products and processes to resolve global issues, including energy supply and distribution, information and networking climate and environment, manufacturing efficiency, and product performance. Branson Ultrasonics has launched LPX platform of low power ultrasonic systems for applications with power requirements of up to 550 W. The LPX units can be used with their appropriate hand-held welder or can be connected directly to a converter/booster/horn stack. The LPX provides the user multiple weld modes: continuous, time, energy and ground detect (optional). The units are available in three frequencies: 20 kHz at 150 and 550 W; 30 kHz at 550 W; and 40 kHz at 150 and 550 W. The LPX units have a number of new user interface/process control features designed to make set up, configuration and navigation easier. These include: an icon-based user interface, digital parameter entry, and the ability to save and recall up to 10 pre-sets. In addition, the 1 millisecond data sampling rate provides superior performance. Branson offers several joining technologies without favouring one technique over another. In each application, we review all parameters of the project with you to find the solution that provides the best performance. Deciding factors include product specifications, functional demands, materials used, part size/geometry, production quantities, automation and overall costs.
