Q. Infrared Plastic Welding
nfrared welding utilizes intense infrared beams to quickly heat plastics immediately before joining.
During infrared welding, both part halves are held rigidly in position near an infrared emitting platen.
The platen then emits powerful infrared light into both parts along the determined joint path, usualy a circle or line. The platen is quickly removed and the part halves are immediately driven together and allowed to re-solidify under pressure. -
Q. Ultrasonic Metal Welding
Branson ultrasonic metal welding technology welds dissimilar materials without using applied heat or electric current passing through components. It can weld through contaminates for a clean seal, operate efficiently to extend tool life and provide increased quality and control. To achieve a high-quality seal, one part is held stationary while the second part is compressed beneath the vibrating horn. The material reaches a plastic state where molecules mix between the two parts, bonding the materials.

Q. Ultrasonic Cleaning
The object to be cleaned is placed in a tank of water or cleaning solvent. The entire tank is then subjected to high frequency pressure sonic waves that vibrate the liquid at extremely high frequencies. This agitation produces cavitation and strong forces that act on any contaminates on the object and inside any holes or recesses within the object. These forces disloge any foreign material and remove it from the object. Efficiency can be increased even more by automating the process.

Q. Ultrasonic Plastic Welding
Ultrasonic energy has been used to join thermoplastics for over 70 years. It is frequently chosen when parts are too complex or expensive to be molded in one piece.
In ultrasonic plastic welding, a vibratory motion at the horn face (amplitude) is transferred to the part. The vibrations move through the part and creates friction at the interface between the parts. Creating heat, then melting. When cooled, a weld is formed.
【Principle】
The ultrasonic welding process converts electrical energy into mechanical vibrations causing the plastics to join.
In the ultrasonic stack, the converter transmits the energy through the booster causing the horn to vibrate.
The converter is made up of piezoelectric ceramic disks that expand and contract at the same frequency of applied electrical energy.
The booster increases or decreases the amplitude of the vibrations to provide the optimum amplitude for the material, size and type of assembly.
The Ultrasonic Welder is comprised of an actuator/stand and ultrasonic stack. The systems can be integrated into fully or semi-automated environments. Stand-alone models include an independent power supply and control interface.
The systems support multiple weld modes, amplitude stepping and full control capabilities.

Q. Plastic Spin Welding
Spin welding utilizes extreme friction from circular motion to join two circular plastic parts.
One part is held stationary while the other is rotated and pressed against the stationary part. The spinning action creates extreme heat all along the circular join path. Extreme pressure is simultaneously applied by pressing the two parts together.
This combination of extreme heat and pressure fuses the plastic together along the path, creating a clean and instantaneous circular joint.

Q. Hot Plate Plastic Welding
Hot Plate Welding is a joining solution for virtually any shaped part. It utilizes a heated platen with heat inserts that are cut to match the shape of the weld plane. The plastic parts that will be joined are pressed against the heated plate to melt and soften the entire joint interface. The plastic parts are then immediately pressed together to complete the weld. Hot Plate Welding is a direct thermal contact process that creates a clean join.

Q. Plastic Vibration Welding
【Principle】
Vibration welding process uses rapid linear motion to create friction and heat at the joint interface of the parts to be mated. This process lasts until the right molten state is reached. The plastic then solidifies under clamping pressure and forms a permanent bond. In addition to linear vibration welding, only Branson offers orbital vibration technology, increasing joint welding opportunities to meet a wider range of requirements. The process can track a wide range of part sizes and shapes, removing past limitations on product design.

Q. Laser Plastic Welding
Branson laser welding employs a process called Simultaneous Through-Transmission Infrared® (STTIr) welding. STTIr uses fiber-optic bundles to deliver light from laser diodes to the Waveguide. The Waveguide is a custom-tailored tool that directs the laser at a precise target line to heat and join the plastic. This enables the heating and plastification of an entire weld line at once, and provides a uniform melt down and weld collapse. Further, STTIr is scalable to large parts.
