amplitude diminishing to almost zero at the centre of the membrane or film. Soniqtwist does not stretch the membrane during welding nor does it cause a diaphragm effect or induce perforation of the film. The Soniqtwist technique therefore effectively eliminates the risk of perforation, when welding polymer-based foils, films & membranes. The technique also has the advantage of speed, with complete weld cycles being achieved in less than one second. The unique characteristics of Soniqtwist also enables multiple membranes, in close proximity to one another, to be processed

without causing any previously welded membrane to become dislodged or lose its hermetic seal, a concept not possible using conventional ultrasonic welding techniques. The characteristics of Soniqtwist make it the
ideal process for a wide range of welding and forming operations in a variety of materials, including plastics, ceramic and aluminium. The process also minimises particle production and size, supporting good, automated manufacturing practice requirements in the medical device manufacturing sector. The benefits of Soniqtwist can also be applied to welding operations on housings which contain delicate electronic devices which must not be damaged or affected during welding. The process is not limited to circular parts, with rectangular and non- symmetrical shaped components capable of being welded, sealed, and joined using this technique. Telsonic engineers have designed the Soniqtwist welding head such that it can be easily retrofitted to a standard bench top machine
for low volume or pilot build scenarios. The head can also be mounted to pneumatic actuator modules or servo operated actuators, enabling incorporation within a fully automated assembly machine. The Soniqtwist configuration can also be used
in multi-head applications, an area within which Telsonic excels with extensive application experience. Telsonic ultrasonic modules and systems offer unprecedented levels of choice for end users, machine builders and system integrators within the medical device sector. The company’s range of ultrasonic modules are also designed to be ‘automation friendly’ allowing easy integration within stand-alone systems and sophisticated production lines.
Telsonic UK offers a comprehensive range of
ultrasonic modules and systems for a variety of plastic and metal welding, cutting, sealing, cut’n’seal and cleaning applications within a wide range of industries.
