PLASTICS
Ultrasonic Basics for injection molded parts
- How to generate ultrasonics
- Key process parameters
- Live ultrasonic lab demonstratiion
Discover the fascinating world of ultrasonic welding with us! Learn the basic principles behind this reliable joining technology: How is ultrasonics generated? How does it create a connection? How can the process be optimized? Our experts will show you how to develop the ideal welding process for injection-molded parts with live demonstrations in the ultrasonic laboratory.
Joint design guideline for injection molded parts
- Different joint design variants
- Which joint design for which requirement
- Important measurements
The right joint design is crucial to success when two injection-molded parts are to be connected with ultrasonics. However, determining which type is most suitable for specific requirements can be challenging. We provide an overview of the different types of joints and explain how they affect the welding process.
Material properties and their influences on the ultrasonic welding process
- Characteristics and composition of various thermoplastic materials
- Influences of different materials on the ultrasonic welding process
- Opportunities for pre-development and pre-testing to achieve optimal welding outcomes
Every plastic vibrates differently – and therefore directly influences the ultrasonic welding process. We look closer at plastics' composition and show which are best suited to ultrasonic welding. You will also learn how to use initial welding tests with materials during component development to ensure optimum welding results in later manufacturing.
Ultrasonics in automated production lines
