1. The basic principle of ultrasonic
plastic welder
The Working principle of ultrasonic plastic welding is that:
The machine converts electrical energy into ultrasound energy
(a vibratory mechanical energy with a high frequency beyond
the range of human hearing) through ultrasonic energy transducer.
The energy then is transmitted through the horn to plastic
parts, and the horn vertically vibrates 20,000 (20 kHz) or
40,000 (40 kHz) times per second creating frictional heat
at the joint interface. Then the plastic parts will melt and
after a predetermined time when vibration is stopped, along
with the short maintained pressure a molecular bond is formed
between the parts. Usually weld time is less than 1 second,
and joint parts are so strong as if they were molded together.
KCH series ultrasonic plastic welders can be used for thermoplastic
material's butt welding and users can also change horns for
other usage like rivet welding, spot welding, inserting and
cutting depending on customers' demands.
2.How does rotary friction plastic welder work?
Rotary friction plastic welder is generally used to weld
two circular thermoplastic parts. During the working process,
one part is fixed in a fixture stationary, while the other
is rotated against it under pressure precisely on its surface
and the resulting friction generates heat that melts the two
parts together, creating a strong, hermetic bond.
3. How does hot plate welder work?
Hot plate welding uses a temperature-controlled heated platen
to melt the joining surfaces of the two halves of thermoplastic
parts. The heated platen is introduced between the two halves
to be assembled. The part halves are brought into contact
with the heated plated and the plastic begins to melt. The
parts' joint interfaces will be plasticized enough after a
certain time, then the part halves of thermoplastic are separated
allowing the heated platen to retract. Then the part halves
are pressed together and after a proper amount of welding
time and welding depth the whole welding process is finished. |
