Ultrasonics plastic welding machines for quality and repeatability

Dukane Ultrasonics' vibration plastic welding machine systems are technologically advanced for plastics assembly. A Dukane vibration plastic welding machine is available in 15, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70 kHz frequencies. Vibration plastic welding machine systems are available as a single unit or a standalone assembly system, or it may be integrated into automated machinery.

Dukane Ultrasonics vibration plastic welding machine systems - fast, clean, efficient

A vibration plastic welding machine joins or reforms thermoplastics through the use of heat generated from high-frequency mechanical motion. It is accomplished by converting high-frequency electrical energy into high-frequency mechanical motion. The mechanical motion of vibration plastic welding, along with applied force, creates frictional heat at the plastic components' mating surfaces (joint area) so the plastic material will melt and form a molecular bond between the parts.

Linear plastic welding physically moves one of two parts horizontally under pressure, creating heat through surface friction that melts and welds the parts together. Compared to ultrasonic, welders operate at much lower frequencies, higher amplitudes and much greater clamping force. Linear plastic welders are designed with electromagnetic heads that eliminate wear and lubrication associated with bearing surfaces.

Welders can join all known thermoplastics including materials with up to 45 percent filler content. Welders can also join many dissimilar materials with compatible melting points, composite materials and fabrics. Welders can also join fiber reinforced carriers such as wood fiber, textile fiber or Polyurethane Long Fiber directly or by claw effect, or with composite surface coating.
