Telsonic Collaborate with Warwick Manufacturing Group on Ultrasonic Metal Welding
Since
its inception in the early 1980’s, the University of Warwick’s Manufacturing
Group (WMG) has continued on its mission to improve the competitiveness of
organisations through the application of value adding innovation and new
technologies. WMG has built strong links with both manufacturing companies and
technology suppliers to develop world-class production processes that bring
significant benefits to manufacturers across a wide range of industry sectors.
Telsonic
UK is currently working in collaboration with WMG, and one of their research
partners, to explore the benefits of ultrasonic metal welding as a clean, fast,
controllable process which delivers joints that exhibit excellent electrical
performance.
Telsonic’s ultrasonic metal welding
technology already has an established and proven track record in the field, and
this played a major part in the decision by WMG to select Telsonic for this
project. A series of extensive trials were carried out at Telsonic’s UK
facility in Poole and the company’s headquarters in Switzerland, to determine
the power requirements and tool face designs which would be needed to cover the
full scope of the project. The results of these trials allowed Telsonic to
determine the optimum specification and configuration for the system to be used
by WMG. Now on site at Warwick, the system includes a Telsonic MPX50-1 linear
ultrasonic metal welder, powered by the company’s SG22 series generator, which
operates at 20kHz and has an output of up to 6.5kW.
