High-Performance Ultrasonic Welding Solutions Streamlines Operations
To maintain leadership in lithium ion technology and assembly, lithium battery cell manufacturers need partners who can deliver market-leading knowledge, innovative solutions, and constant global support. That is why leading battery designers and manufacturers continue to rely on Branson ultrasonic metal welding battery technology from Emerson. From application development to product launch, Emerson provides welding solutions that transform Li-ion battery designs into advanced battery commercial products.
How Ultrasonic Welding Works
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.
Polaris Configurable Systems
Branson Polaris Actuators
Polaris Core & Advanced are two options for pneumatic actuators that can be selected to create your configurable Polaris System ideal for your application and manufacturing environment. Branson Polaris ultrasonic welding platform enables manufacturers to adopt a more flexible, scalable, and controllable approach to joining components. Polaris actuators can be adapted as automation systems or as stand-alone complete systems. Pair your ideal actuator and power supply with a configurable package to further upgrade functionality and tailor system to your application.
