Company Technologies Products Sectors Services GREEN SONICS NC ISONIC – UL­TRA­SONIC WELD­ING MA­CHINE WITH SERVO DRIVE AND OPEN CON­TROL CON­CEPT NC iSONIC is an ultrasonic series welding machine with servo drive and open control concept. During the development phase, the modular design of the machine was of special importance to ensure that it can be flexibly adapted to different applications and part dimensions. The modular concept and the mechanical and control-system-related design ensure that the machine can be used as a wide range of variants, for example as a welding unit, a machine without a base or as a benchtop machine. Optional accessories, such as a acoustic protection hood, sliding table or film feed unit can be integrated into the NC iSONIC machine via the interface modules. As a result, the machine can be upgraded at a later stage and, thereby, adapted to a wide range of applications. Control components from Siemens simplify integration in customer networks thanks to standardised communication. In the PRO version (industrial PC with soft PLC) additional customised functions such as barcode, camera, data evaluation, remote maintenance and future Industry 4.0 applications can be easily implemented. It is also possible to integrate the welding unit, NC iSONIC Unit, without its own PLC in the production system control. The NC iSONIC can be flexibly deployed and can be integrated in the designs NC iSONIC Integra and NC iSONIC Unit, even in existing or new machine concepts. This is primarily of interest, where series production using precise ultrasonic welding is a must. With our experience in building special machines and the joining of plastics, we support you with our engineering services in both the planning and construction of your installations using our components.

The parameters for an ultrasonic welding process cover the ultrasonic (frequency, amplitude, time) and the mechanical requirements concerning the sonotrode positioning unit (working force, feed rate). The energy that is produced in the ultrasonic generator causes the sonotrode to oscillate with a small amplitude (a few micrometres) and a frequency between 20 and 35 kHz (ultrasonic frequency range). The welding time determines the time during which the ultrasound acts on the workpiece to be welded. To fuse a (plastic) workpiece, a precise feed system with a variable working force and adjustable feed rate is required in addition to an oscillating sonotrode. In terms of the NC iSONIC, SONOTRONIC ensures all this with the aid of a servomotor which is integrated in a smart control concept. ADVANTAGES Highly precise movements (resolution < 1/100 mm) Open-loop and closed-loop control of absolute and relative positions Torque and speed control (accuracy +/- 0.01%) Torque limitation Realisation of minimal forces Variable speed and force (Vmax = 200 mm/s) Motion profiles (target position, set speed, acceleration, deceleration time, delay time, etc.) Graphical representation and storage of the parameters during the process (documentation) Recipe management Safe motion monitoring (integration of functional safety) Numerous feed monitoring functions Calibration Ergonomic operation: 2-hand start (visual feedback) LED lighting LED for OK/not OK indication WELDING METHODS The operating modes are selected and monitored via the operator panel. The parameters, such as "amplitude", "welding force" and "feed rate", can be adjusted. In addition, the various welding methods can be freely combined. Time-dependent Welding based on a specified time value Distance-dependent (absolute and relative) Welding up to a specified finalpoint (absolute) and welding based on a relative, specified distance when a specific reference point is reached (relative) Energy-dependent Welding up to a specified energy value Force-dependent Welding based on a specified force profile: this function can also be used for detecting a part (scanning and detection of the increase in force when contact with the part is made) Contact shut-off Safety shut-off when contact with metal is made AVAILABLE OPTIONS Pre-ultrasonics The sonotrode already oscillates when it approaches the part Post-ultrasonics The sonotrode still oscillates when it retracts from the part Pre-joining Joining without the application of ultrasound MACHINE MODE Password-protected user levels (operator/setter/service) SPECIAL SETTING MODE FOR COMFORTABLE SETTING Automatic calibration after a tool change: the setter is guided through the process by way of plain text instructions Optional teach-in of the welding depth via the touch panel INTUITIVE AND USER-FRIENDLY TOUCH SCREEN OPERATION Self-explaining operating concept Representation of processrelevant values (setpoints and actual values) Graphical representation of the welding curves for the easy interpretation of the values Integrated help feature Multi-level selection of functions depending on the respective access authorisation Numerous possible configurations Language switching Documentation and operating instructions 50 parameter programs INDUSTRIES The NC iSONIC product series is extremely versatile and can be used in a wide range of industries.
