WELDING TEXTILES

Smart Welding Series

Neat, efficient, accurate attachment of edge treatments to textiles

The SMART Weld Ultrasonic welder is a great new alternative welder. The welding head moves fully automatically to complete the required length of weld without operator intervention and without re-positioning of the job.

The result is comparable to the best weld of an impulse welder. The ultrasonic is not so affected by ambient conditions as other weld methods and the weld cycle time is comparable, when the heating up and cool down times of an impulse welder are considered.

Easy operation, efficient and better accuracy

Because there is only vertical motion to perform the bond there is no lateral movement of fabric in relation to the attachment being welded, so there are no forces to create the puckering that is common where any heated tooling moves laterally through a welding process. This is a problem associated with wedge welders and hot air welders. Ultrasonic consistency, quality and accuracy are better assured.

There is no need for an operator to watch the process. He or she can prepare the next job while the welding is happening. Time consuming re-positioning is not required, as it is for small welders. Accuracy is assured as the product and attachment do not move. 

SMART WELD can be optioned to suit your needs

U-Series can be custom made in any length so an 8-meters weld or longer is possible (even up to 16 metre). Our recommendation is to select an appropriate length for a one pass operation to handle the majority of the work.

Connects to standard 240v power

Another advantage of the ultrasonic process is that it requires 240v power only and so expensive 3-phase power connection and consumption is avoided. , so using up to 75% less power than similar sized machines.

Why has this process just become available?

The development of higher ultrasonic power has been the key and the sophisticated control over power amplitude and pressure is required. But that is here makes a great option for clients to consider all the advantages this process can deliver.

Smart Weld Features & Benefits

  • Welds a zip or spline up to 8000mm long on either side of the table
  • The moving gantry parks at the far end of the machine when not in use, making skin loading and removal straight forward
  • The order entry can be via a smart device or loaded using the touch screen
  • The machine program ensures the first weld and last weld both start and finish at the exact edges of the welded material automatically
  • The Smart Weld unit has a dual anvil design, and this allows both top / bottom or both sides of a skin to be processed without the material leaving the table.
  • This also means that weld widths of 10mm or 20 mm can be achieved 
  • The main gantry drives have an accuracy of +/- 0.1mm.
  • The Ultrasonic unit is manufactured in Germany and is the most advanced and efficient unit in the market at present
  • The PC is able to adjust the power of the ultrasonic and the air pressure via a web app or by the touch screen, for the correct setting for each fabric and job
  • Access available to the CNC database, having a wide range of fabric and the suggested setting to both weld zip, splines and to join fabric panels
  • This machine has remote access to provide any support required
  • The Smart Weld unit runs off a 240 volt 15 amp supply

Smart Weld Safety Features

  • The machine has 3 Emergency Stops, one on either side of the gantry.
  • The welding head has an integrated safety switch which stops the welding function from commencing until in its "weld position". It will retract if any obstruction (eg a hand) is detected before it reaches its weld position.
  • The ability to get instant heat eliminates the chances of burns, as the operator is not using an “element type” welding system.
  • A series of lights and a safety buzzer to inform an operator of any issues.
  • The machine will chime before the gantry starts to weld and retract.
