Abstract: A device is shown and described for ultrasonic welding of composite material, in particular composite material of package sleeves and/or packages, including at least two tools for ultrasonic welding, in particular a sonotrode and an anvil. Each tool has a functional surface for contact with the material to be welded. The functional surfaces of the tools are aligned approximately parallel to one another in such a way that a gap with an approximately horizontal seam direction is created between the functional surfaces. The tools are mounted in such a way that the width of the gap can be changed by at least one of the tools being movable along a feed direction, and at least one joint having at least one axis of rotation about which one of the tools is rotatable. In order to enable optimal adaptation of the movably mounted tool—for example the sonotrode—to the materials to be welded and their size, it is proposed that the position of the axis of rotation can be changed.

Abstract: An ultrasonic oscillation system with a converter which can convert an electrical alternating voltage into a mechanical oscillation, and a sonotrode of mass ms, which is intended to be set into oscillation with the mechanical oscillation, the converter being coupled to the sonotrode in such a way that the vibration generated by the converter generates a vibration excitation of the sonotrode, the ultrasonic vibration system being intended to be operated with a vibration of wavelength ?. In order to provide an ultrasonic oscillation system in which the problems described are at least reduced, the ultrasonic oscillation system has a mechanical resonator of mass mr, which can be brought into resonant oscillation with an oscillation of wavelength ?, the mass mr of the resonator being larger than the mass ms of the sonotrode.

Abstract: The present invention concerns A sonotrode with a wheel-shaped portion having a wheel axis and of a diameter d, which has two substantially circular main surfaces and a substantially cylindrical sealing surface of the width b, that connects the main surfaces. To provide a corresponding sonotrode in which the triangular frequency differs markedly from the main frequency it is proposed according to the invention that at least one main surface has a non-central thickened portion which in a sectional view perpendicularly to the main surface has a convex region which is not arranged on the wheel axis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an ultrasonic sonotrode with a main sonotrode body and a sealing area arranged on one side of the main sonotrode body. The main sonotrode body has two through-slits extending in or through the main sonotrode body respectively along a slit axis. These through-slits intersect in such a way that a through-channel through the main sonotrode body is formed from the one through-slit into the other through-slit. This creates a slit portion that is formed both by the one through-slit and the other through-slit. Provided in this main sonotrode body is a processing channel, which extends along a processing channel axis from a side area of the main sonotrode body up to the through-channel and is arranged substantially symmetrically about the processing channel axis.
