Overall description

  • Robot
  • Sonotrode moving and cooling
  • Ultrasonic generator
  • Welding tool fixture
  • Safety and covering component
  • Switch-board
  • Second sonotrode
  • 2 – 4 Robots
  • More welding tool fixture
  • Turntable
  • PLC and HMI interface
  • Quick change system of welding tool fixture
  • Quick change system of sonotrods
  • Basic configuration
    • Simple solution. Welding tools are not exchangeable (in case of a new product, a new welding tool and program need to be installed)
    •  
    • Suggested for parts with high production amount (one purpose equipment).
    • The robot could bear 2 sonotrodes. 

  • Configuration with turntable and one robot
    • Welding tools are easily exchangeable. Universal welding station for various similar products.
    • Suggested for low production amount.
    • 100% robot time efficiency. As the robot welds, the operator manipulates with a finished and a raw part.
    • The robot could bear 2 sonotrodes.

  • Configuration with turntable and two  or four robots
    • Welding tools are easily exchangeable. Universal welding station for different products.
    • Suggested for high-capacity series.
    • 100% robot time efficiency. As the robot welds, the operator manipulates with a finished and a raw part. The robots are independent on each other.
    • The robot could bear 2 sonotrodes.

2 robots

4 robots

Additional interface to speed up machinery production efficiency

    • Automatic exchange system for sonotrode
      In case of need of 2 sonotrodes, there is an automatic exchange system for sonotrodes.
      The system automatically recognizes which sonotrode should be used.
    • Two sonotrodes on the robot head
      It speeds up machinery production efficiency.
