Ultrasonic Plastic Welding

Purpose of the seminar:

The seminar is designed to review the latest research and developments in ultrasonic plastic welding. The attendee will learn how to utilize ultrasonic welding for the assembly of plastic components and materials. A major focus will be on maximizing weld quality and consistency. All attendees are encouraged to bring their samples and/or drawings for consultation and discussion.

Who Should Attend:

• Equipment Manufacturers
• Design Engineers
• Machine operators
• Quality Management officer
• Production Engineers

Aims and content – First day
9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m.
The seminar is split in five modules

• Understand the ultrasonic welding process.
  How are ultrasonic vibrations created? What factors
  influence the process? How does the machine respond?
  How do the process parameters influence the weld?
  
  
• Understand the ultrasonic welding machine.
  What are the components and systems of an ultrasonic
  welder? How does the machine trigger the ultrasonic
  welding process? What quality windows are available?
  
  
• Design a part for ultrasonic welding.
  What are the principles of a correct joint design? What joint
  designs are proven? How are joint designs customized
  and made part specific? How does material influence the
  process? Which plastic materials can be welded?
  
  
• Learn other applications. Discuss your application.
  Staking & Swaging, Cut & Seal, Spot Welding, Embedding
  of Inserts, Membrane welding, Embossing.

Aims and content – Second day
(optional)

• Set up an ultrasonic weld.
  Setup a new weld program. Assemble an ultrasonic stack.
  Calculate initial amplitude and weld forces. Setup and
  leveling of a fixture. Adjust the machine height and stroke.
  Optimize weld process parameters, establish a force
  profile and improve welding quality.
