Automated ultrasonic welding cells for thermoplastic composites
Project: High-speed ultrasonic welding
How fibre-reinforced thermoplastic structures can be joined quickly, reproducibly and without compromising structural integrity
Ultrasonically welded CFRP components are lightweight, strong and fully recyclable. Grunewald delivers the complete solution – tools, machinery, process and machine design.
High-speed ultrasonic welding of thermoplastic composite structures
- Achieving high-strength, uniformly welded joints
- Designing an automated manufacturing process for scalable thermoplastic composites using ultrasonic welding
- Herrmann Ultraschall – ultrasonic generators and precision welding tools
Challenge
Joining components made from thermoplastic fibre-reinforced materials requires high-strength, reproducible and uniform joints. The joining process must reliably control welding of structures and ensure short cycle times together with a high level of process stability under series production conditions.
Joining technology with second-level cycle times
Through material-integrated bonding
Repairable and recyclable structures
