The ULS plasma source, for Ultra Light System is a compact tool delivering a high-density beam of reactive species at atmospheric pressure. The plasma applicator can be engineered specifically to the customer’s specifications. The ULS needs only compressed air and electrical supplies. Because of its tiny size and light weight, it can be easily attached to robots or integrated in production lines. The same control box can power up to three plasma heads. Its main application is surface modification of plastics profiles or components before bonding, gluing or printing. The ULS is presented on the booth.

Ultrasonic Cut and Seal applications are typically limited in their usage due to anvil wear and inconsistent results. In a plunge weld mode, a standard cutting die can be mounted to a new cutting module from Herrmann Ultrasonics. This die can have a length of up to 250mm or a two dimensional shape up to 75 mm x 250 mm. A fixed anvil can also be mounted in conjunction with the cutting module, for a cut and seal. Immediate results can be realized as the cutting module is easy to set up and only requires a supply of compressed air.
