The Task
To design an ultrasonic plastic welding system to weld the tail light assembly.
The Solution
In this case, the task was completed by designing a system having a special quick tool changing mechanism (cassette type), a winder-unwinder arrangement to locate the item which is to be welded and a dedicated horn-fixture arrangement to weld the tail light assembly.
The Advantages
- Very short tool change over time
- Short cycle time
- Strong welds
- No damage cause to the surface finish
