  • Patent number: 8702883
    Abstract: Invention relating to a method for controlling an ultrasonic machining, in which an ultrasonic vibration is transmitted via a sonotrode into the material to be machined. During the first machining interval, a first welding variable of the group S, consisting of the frequency f and the amplitude ü of the ultrasonic vibration, the force F, which the sonotrode exerts on the material to be machined, the power P, which the generator delivers, and the speed v, with which the sonotrode is moved in the direction of the material to be machined, is kept constant until a first target variable of the group Z adopts a predetermined value. During an adjoining second machining interval, a second welding variable of the group S is kept constant until a second target variable of the group Z adopts a predetermined value, wherein the first and the second target value differ.

  • Patent number: 8096339
    Abstract: An ultrasonic welding tool with fluid drive, wherein the ultrasonic welding tool (2) is connected by way of a piston rod (3) to a working piston (5) which is guided in a housing (4) of the drive, wherein the working piston (5) sub-divides the drive housing (4) into a primary chamber (6) and a secondary chamber (7), wherein each of the chambers is able to communicate by way of a valve (16) with a fluidized pressure source, wherein at least one sensor (18, 19) is provided for detecting a physical property of the fluid drive which sensor emits an actual signal which is in relationship with the physical property detected and which via a control circuit controls the two valves in such a way that the physical property detected follows a reference value profile.
