Ultrasonic Welder

Forward Technology Industries announces its new line of ultrasonic welders, the Omega III series. The completely redesigned welders offer a modular design and several new control features.

The MCX features a large display screen and can weld using four different modes. The weld cycle time is programmed into the MCX and is consistent each time. A constant stack height is maintained from part to part. The actual melt travel is measured and kept constant. The MCX supplies the same power to each weld.

A new feature included on the Omega III series is a Reactive Welding System (RWS). This feature supplies the exact amount of ultrasonic energy to finish the weld.

Other features include simplified programming and machine adjustment, larger work area around the application, back-lit display screen, improved amplitude control, and an optical encoder. A proportional valve allows trigger pressure, weld pressure and cooling pressure to be controlled separately during the weld cycle. This reduces weld time and increases weld integrity.

The MCX can be hooked up to a PC and printer to report welding parameters of good and bad parts, faults for any rejected parts, production count and more. Parameters for 20 programs can be stored allowing for changeover between welding applications.

Two welding frequencies including 20 kHz and 30 kHz are available for the MCX with power supplies ranging from 800-3000 watts.
