Sonics & Materials, Inc. introduces its revolutionary ElectroPress Ultrasonic Plastics Assembly System. This new, ultra-precision welder features a stepper motor transport that controls the advancing speed and final position of the ultrasonic horn. The ElectroPress is designed for high precision, close tolerance applications. Welding applications that use special materials or delicate components may also achieve improved results with the ElectroPress. Combined with Sonics' FM Power Supply and linear feedback encoder, the new press is capable of controlling the final weld position to a tolerance of 0.0003" (0.008 mm) through a broad range of velocities. This yields repeatable welds with exact final dimensions of the bonded components. This high level of precision is perfect for the assembly demands of many customers, such as medical and electronic manufacturers.
Sonics' new design provides dimensional accuracy capabilities far beyond those of the conventional pneumatic welders. Precision control in an ElectroPress is further enhanced through a rigid mount booster that prevents horn deflection. The rigid mount booster has zero resilience and stack deflection. This unique booster construction eliminates springs, o-rings, and other flexible components. Those components, typically found in pneumatic presses, can cause displacement errors and performance deterioration.
The ElectroPress is supplied with a software interface package for programming the trigger force, weld velocity, and weld distance parameters. The software also provides a monitor/log menu selection. This selection will display a form intended to capture weld and distance data and present a one-line status after each weld. A power vs. time graph can be used to collect data for output and statistical analysis in text format. This graph monitors an application during the set-up and qualification period illustrating the impact of distance and velocity controls on the weld.
Sonics & Materials, Inc. is a world leader in the field of ultrasonic technology and other plastics joining methods. The company, which is ISO 9001 certified, designs and builds a complete line of hand-held, bench-top, and semi-automated plastics assembly systems, which include microprocessor controlled ultrasonic welders, vibration welders, and spin welders. Sonics offers in-house application assistance, materials testing laboratory service, global sales and distribution network, on-site field service, and the industry's most advanced welding systems. Automotive, industrial, medical, packaging, toy, appliance, consumer, and synthetic textile manufacturers around the world use Sonics' standard or customized equipment to weld the full spectrum of commodity and engineering polymers.
