  • Publication number: 20260048457
    Abstract: An ultrasonic welding system for creating one or more finished products is provided. The ultrasonic welding system may include a feeding device to carry and supply product materials that are arranged in a plurality of layers. The system may also include a fabrication system to receive the product materials from the feeding device. The fabrication system may be configured to form at least one attachment between one or more portion(s) of first layer(s) of the product materials and one or more portion(s) of second layer(s) of the product materials. The fabrication system may create one or more through-hole(s) that may be extending through one or more of the first and/or second layer(s) of the product material(s). The ultrasonic welding system may further include a finalization system that may cut the product materials into finished products.

  • Patent number: 12383991
    Abstract: An ultrasonic welding system for assembling materials is provided. The system may comprise a feeding device, a fabrication system, a product uniformer, and a finalization system. The feeding device may include pace feeders, position feeders, and one or more of a retention member. The pace feeders may carry and supply product materials to be distributed by the position feeders and layered by the retention member. The fabrication system may include a main retention member, attachment apparatuses, anvils, and an aperture generator. The attachment apparatuses and anvils may be utilized to crate one or more of an attachment point on the layered product materials, and the aperture generator may be utilized to create at least one through-hole ending through at least a portion of the layered product materials. The finalization system may comprise a product separator and a motion inducer. The product separator may separate the layered product materials.

  • Patent number: 9000095
    Abstract: The invention relates to a polyethylene molding composition which has a multimodal molecular mass distribution and comprises a low molecular weight ethylene homopolymer A, a high molecular weight ethylene copolymer B and an ultrahigh molecular weight ethylene copolymer C. The molding composition has a density at a temperature of 23° C. in the range from 0.940 to 0.957 g/cm3, an MFR (190° C./2.16 kg) in the range from 0.5 to 4 dg/min and a viscosity number VN3 of the mixture of ethylene homopolymer A, copolymer B and ethylene copolymer C, measured in accordance with ISO/R 1191 in decalin at a temperature of 135° C., in the range from 150 to 300 cm3/g. The invention further relates to the use of such a molding composition for producing injection-molded finished parts, and to finished parts produced by injection molding.
