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:-

bulletCutting aeroplane ejector seat covers   
bulletWelding motorcycle parts
bulletWelding electric toothbrushes
bulletWelding mobile phone components
bulletCutting and sealing Velcro for medical applications, watch straps etc
bulletSeveral 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.

FFR Ultrasonics run training seminars on all aspects of power ultrasonics
including fluidsonics, horn design and manufacture
