Emerson will showcase automated solutions for plastics joining, highlighting Branson™ welding equipment and expertise, at K 2022, the international plastics trade fair taking place October 19-26 in Düsseldorf, Germany.
These machines, and the advanced automation systems they enable, make it possible for manufacturers to join challenging materials and complex shapes in sizes from very small to large. Industry 4.0/IIoT (industrial internet of things) capabilities allow users to collect and analyze data that help improve plant performance and ensure weld precision, consistency, quality and aesthetics.
Branson™ GMX-20MA Ultrasonic Metal Spot Welder
The Branson™ GMX-20MA ultrasonic metal spot welder is an advanced spot welder that bonds nonferrous metals, including bus bars, foils, switches, and wire terminations in automotive electrical systems, electric vehicles, batteries and battery packs, power storage systems, and related applications. It is built around an all-new, rigid pneumatic actuator mechanism that features dual linear bearings for smoother vertical motion and maximum long-term repeatability in tooling alignment. Once tooling/part contact is made, actuator downforce pressure is closely regulated by a digital load cell as the spot weld is completed. Programmable controls enable operators to manage the welding process in several versatile modes, ensuring the added precision required to maintain tight weld process control despite occasional variations in part surface quality or cleanliness.
