Ultrasonic Generator DYNAMIC digital control CS

Generator with Digital Technology for uncompromised welding technique The new Herrmann Ultrasonics DYNAMIC series generator uses state-of-the-art technology to perform independent of component aging or temperature fluctuations. In addition, comprehensive programming allows intelligent adaptation of the weld parameters to different acoustic stacks. State-of-the-art DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING The new digital Generator series utilizes Digital Signal Processing to provide consistent performance independent of component aging or temperature fluctuations. The output signal is no longer affected by the manufacturing tolerances of the build-in components. RESONANCE SCAN frequency matching for optimum performance The new DYNAMIC digital control generators recognize the resonance frequency of the Converter/Booster/Horn Stack and automatically adjust to its start-up characteristics. This provides protection against weld horn damage and insures that the entire system always operates with optimum efficiency. All weld horn data can be stored to allow "plug-and-play" weld horn stack exchange. In addition, because of this precise frequency tuning feature, the new DYNAMIC digital control generators can operate weld horns within an extreme narrow frequency band. Preprogrammed flexibility Weld time, power draw and weld energy are displayed and monitored on individually programmable windows. A broad array of interfaces includes PLC inputs and outputs via opto-couplers as well as connectors for the DIALOG touch CS controller and a field bus. DIGITAL CONTROL for reproducible welding results A digital control loop continuously monitors the performance of the converter/booster/horn assembly to provide optimum efficiency. Temperature fluctuations and weld horn wear are automatically compensated. Constant amplitude is maintained independent of line voltage fluctuations. Amplitude programming for maximized weld quality The amplitude can be adjusted from 70-100% to precisely optimize the material and joining

characteristics. The digital adaptation of the amplitude eliminates the exchange of the booster and reduces setup time. Amplitude consistency even with fluctuating line voltage Line voltage variations directly influence the amplitude of the weld horn, resulting in inconsistent weld quality. An intelligent closed-loop circuit automatically compensates for voltage variations of + 10% to - 15% throughout the output range of the generator. This feature is critical for achieving repeatable weld results during unstable operating voltage conditions.

High Processing Speed And Consistent Quality For Nonwovens Processing of nonwovens, composite materials, textiles and paper demand continuous production applications that combine high-speed and maximum precision.

How Does Ultrasonic Nonwoven Bonding Work? The ultrasonic bonding system for nonwoven materials consists of an engraved anvil drum and an ultrasonic system with acoustic stack (converter, amplitude coupler and sonotrode). The acoustic stack is mounted above the rotating anvil drum leaving a small gap between the surface of the rotating anvil and the sonotrode. The sonotrode constantly expands and contracts (amplitude) 20,000 times per second. As material passes through the gap, force and amplitude are applied to the material. During the expansion cycle, sufficient compression is applied through the material against the raised bonding points of the anvil drum creating surface friction to melt the nonwoven materials. During the contraction cycle the gap is increased allowing the material to move through the gap without material jams. Ultrasonic bond strength is controlled by constant web speed, constant amplitude and consistent force applied to a specific anvil drum pattern.

Continuous Ultrasonic Technology Can Be Used In A Wide Range Of Applications

Bonding, cutting and sealing in machine direction and cross machine direction in one

step. Creating durable laminates of multiple layers, even of different materials Embossing of trade marks, logos or decorative elements, e.g. for automotive seat covers and car interior lining Advantages And Benefits Of The Nonwoven Bonding Process

Consistent material characteristics; bonding and cutting with ultrasonics eliminates thermal distortion of the nonwoven material and maintains softness, loft and air permeability of the material Ultrasonic laminating allows for the bonding of materials with different melting points Ultrasonic bonding produces environmentally friendly laminates. The laminates do not contain any adhesives or other consumables making them recyclable Consistent weld quality even when laminating multiple layers of different materials or when bonding intermittently in cross machine direction The ultrasonic nonwoven bonding technology offers immediate system availability without heat-up time, fast set-up and reduced energy consumption Major cost savings as a result of minimized scrap after machine start up and shut down

High production speeds with ultrasonic nonwoven bonding Why Herrmann Ultrasonics Is Right For You

Herrmann Ultrasonics patented NON-CONTACT / NON-WEAR technology with MICROGAP control automatically compensates for thermal expansion and maintains a constant force between sonotrode and anvil drum. MICROGAP with Force Sensor that is

integrated in the actuator unit, constantly measures the bonding force the sonotrode applies to the nonwoven material. When the sonotrode and anvil drum thermally expand, the gap between sonotrode and anvil drum changes, increasing the bond force applied to the material. The MICROGAP controller compares the actual weld force to a programmed target force and adjusts the position of the sonotrode until the actual weld force equals its target value. In combination with Herrmann's patented sonotrode mount, the force control is perfectly suited for intermittent nonwoven bonding applications. Through continuous research and development, Herrmann Ultrasonics offers rotary sonotrodes that synchronize with the rotation of the anvil. Both anvil drum and sonotrode can be engraved with bonding patterns to meet special application requirements for nonwoven and textile processing.
