THE ULTRASONIC PROCESS
|
|
Ultrasonic assembly is a fast, clean, efficient method of assembling or
processing rigid thermoplastic parts or films and synthetic fabrics. Various
ultrasonic assembly techniques are used by all segments of industry to join
plastic to plastic and plastic to metal parts or other non‑plastic
materials, mechanical fasteners, replacing or precluding the use of
solvents, adhesives, mechanical fasteners or other consumables.
Ultrasonics is mechanical vibrational energy converted to friction heat at
the joint surface. |

Mini Delta
Best sellers in the FFR range are the Mini Delta 9500 family of versatile
hand held and small rigid press systems in the 35 kHz band. Designed for ease of
operation in welding and cutting application, there are currently in use in many
and various circumstances:-
| Cutting aeroplane ejector seat covers
|
| Welding motorcycle parts
|
| Welding electric toothbrushes
|
| Welding mobile phone components
|
| Cutting and sealing Velcro for medical applications, watch straps etc
|
| Several University R&D and experimental situations.
|
|
Delta 2000
These are the 20 kHz range of welding machines. They are designed for heavy
duty applications, particularly in the automotive industry and similar
environments. A number of these have been built into existing production lines
as specialised bespoke units.
|
Ultrafast
Unique to FFR, the newest members of the Ultrafast system can be inserted
using by a hand held ultrasonic unit, enabling greater versatility of
application. Beyond its original purpose, the Ultrafast has found many uses,
particularly for joining recycled plastics - industrial pallets and garden
furniture to name two.
|
Case Studies
|
|
Mini Delta
John Moor's University, Liverpool Art Department are using FFR equipment in experimental and development projects in the field of modern synthetic textile design and application, particularly looking at the possible applications in the fashion industry.
|
Ultrafast
Some 80 million pairs of ladies shoes is a good proof of the robustness of the Ultrafast ultrasonic stapling system. Originally conceived as the solution to the problem of high heels parting company with the shoe - usually at the most inconvenient moment. The system comprises a mechanically locking, self piercing staple inserted by ultrasonic vibration.
