One of the most requested services by Plasticol\u2019s clients is the\u00a0ultrasonic welding<\/strong>. This process helps us to connect permanently two pieces of plastic material<\/strong> through the action of heat, that changes the physicochemical characteristics of this substance.<\/span><\/p>\n Through high-frequency welding<\/strong>, we can join two pieces of a good made of the same material, such as two parts of a pipe, but also components made of two different kind of plastics. This becomes particularly helpful in all those industrial fields in which some goods<\/strong> need to be extra sturdy, resistant and hermetically sealed<\/strong> to work properly.<\/span><\/p>\n Plasticol<\/strong><\/a> offers a\u00a0ultrasonic welding service<\/strong> for every kind of material that is normally used in the factory, like PVC<\/strong><\/a>, polyethylene, ABS, and polyurethane. All of our extruded goods, without exception, can endure this process with the ultimate goal of creating a final item that is exactly what the clients requested. <\/span><\/p>\n High-frequency welding<\/strong>, also known as ultrasonic welding<\/strong>, is a type of soldering based on the action of ultrasounds<\/strong>. The frequencies of the sound waves<\/strong> used in this kind of soldering are between 15 kHz and 40 kHz<\/strong>. These waves help to create heat<\/strong>, which is then used to melt the extremities of the plastic components<\/strong> that need to be connected. The process is a very simple one, and it gives extremely good results in no time at all.<\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s see how the ultrasonic welding process works<\/strong>. The process starts with the positioning of the elements<\/strong> that need to be soldered together on top of each other; then the workmen turn on the high-frequency welding machine: the sonotrode<\/strong> (the component that creates the sound wave) makes the two parts that need to be joined oscillate vertically<\/strong>; this movement produces friction<\/strong> and consequently heat<\/strong>, which are responsible for the melting of the plastic and the union of the two parts.<\/span><\/p>\n Plasticol\u2019s technicians put great attention in every phase of this process but they are also extremely careful when it comes to the preliminary stages<\/strong>, so to always obtain excellent and precise results<\/strong>. The machinery<\/strong> used by Plasticol for high-frequency welding is among the most up to date and innovative on the market<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\nUltrasonic\u00a0welding: what it is and how it works<\/span><\/h2>\n
