Across many industries, welding technologies are used to join plastics and metals. One important technology is ultrasonic welding. It uses:
…high-frequency ultrasonic acoustic vibrations are locally applied to work pieces being held together under pressure to create a solid-state weld.
In a whitepaper, Five Steps to Selecting the Best Automated Ultrasonic Welding Solution, Emerson’s Kerryn Harrington shares considerations and guides you through the process of evaluating, selecting, and successfully implementing automated assembly solutions.
I’ll share the five steps and invite you to download the whitepaper to implement an automated Branson ultrasonic welding solution.
Step 1: Consider the big picture: What global trends are driving manufacturing and automation needs? Which of these is driving the need to automate in your business? Some of these considerations include labor, utilization rates, and cybersecurity.
Step 2: What critical manufacturing issues or pain points are of greatest concern to your company about deciding whether or not to automate your ultrasonic welding operations?
Step 3: What essential application factors and production requirements must be considered and met in your plan to automate ultrasonic welding operations?
Step 4: Assess configuration, ergonomic and integration concerns for automated ultrasonic welding operations.
Step 5: Consider these final factors during system selection: Equipment, integration, tooling and support.
In these 5 steps, Kerryn lays out numerous considerations and a recommended path forward to help you through the assessment and project.
She concludes the whitepaper with these thoughts.
Before you make a final decision on automation options for your ultrasonic welding operations, it’s vitally important to consider all the factors involved. The steps outlined in this paper, together with the ideas, concerns and questions you’ve noted during your own reading, should provide a road map for further action. We invite you to consult with your Emerson representative for expert advice and more detailed product information before your make a final automation and product selection. As we said earlier, our goal is to ensure a perfect fit of technology for your assembly and automation needs.
