Overview of Ultrasonic Welding/Cutting:
Ultrasonic assembly is applicable to heat-fused materials such as plastics and technical textiles, commonly used in automotive, packaging, and textile industries. The process involves welding or cutting materials using ultrasonic vibrations transmitted by a transducer to a tool called a sonotrode. This tool is pressed against the material, generating heat for welding or cutting.

Equipment and Process:
The equipment consists of an electronic generator and a transducer. The sonotrode is custom-designed based on the type of plastic and the geometry of the contact area. For cutting, the process occurs at the contact surface between the sonotrode and the part. In welding, energy is focused on the interface joint, with overlapping material concentrating the energy. The application cycle of load pressure during vibration and cooling must be precisely controlled.

Support and Customization:
Due to the complexity of ultrasonic solutions, tailored support is provided, including drafting specifications, custom equipment design, training, and monitoring of equipment use.

Applications:
Examples include sewing machines for hospital mattress covers, cutting and forming climbing ropes, manual welding tools, continuous welding machines for garden chair canvases, and table presses for blister sealing.

Ultrasonic Transducers:
Transducers are customized for specific applications, available in various frequencies and powers, and can operate continuously or in cycles. The sonotrode is custom-made, with options for shape, dimension, and cooling methods.

Ultrasonic Generators:
Power generators in the NexTgen range are adapted to the transducer/sonotrode setup, with models offering different power levels and power supplies.
