USW6 Ultrasonic Welder

The station consists of an acid resistant conveyor and structure, adjustable guides and weld head. The station is destined for use with ABS containers and uses an ultrasonic vibrating head equipped with an individual sonotrode for each cover type. The sonotrode is responsible for the correct welding taking its power from the generator and ‘vibrating’ the ABS particle molecules at the joint to bond together. The system guarantees a perfect weld each and every time. The sonotrodes are manufactured in a special alloy and personalised per each battery type. The station is encased by a sound proofing cabinet so as not to subdue workers in the area to the acoustic high pitch of the ultrasonic weld. The weld time is typically 1.5-2.0 seconds with a further 2 seconds allowed for the ‘break-off’ time. This station is not equipped with a reject bench as should a weld fail, the operator can manually check and repeat the weld on-the-spot.
