Abstract
Ultrasonic plastic welding is applied for welding various thermoplastic materials and is widely used in various industrial fields. The two-vibration-system welding method and a high frequency equipment are effective in improving the welding characteristics. A high frequency 90 kHz system can weld plastic sheets under a 1/3 velocity amplitude as compared with that of a low 27 kHz system, but it is difficult to weld large specimens successfully because a high frequency vibration stress cannot be transmitted uniformly due to the stress relaxation effect by the small vibration displacement. To improve the direct welding characteristics, three types of two-vibration-system ultrasonic welding equipments using linear vibration loci of (1) 90 kHz and 27 kHz longitudinal vibration systems, (2) 90 kHz longitudinal and 20 kHz torsional vibration systems, and elliptical vibration loci of (3) 27 kHz complex vibration systems are studied. Transmission conditions of the vibration stresses are measured by pressure sensitive films (Prescale) which are inserted between the plastic sheets. It was shown that a high frequency vibration stress with a small displacement amplitude may be induced uniformly in the welding specimens by combining a low frequency vibration with large displacement amplitude. These welding systems are effectively used to join plastic sheets successfully.
