The Design of Multiple Function Acoustic Horns for Ultrasonic Welding of Plastic

Abstract:

The acoustic solid horns are the important parts in high power ultrasonic vibrating systems, and its design is critical to the quality and the efficiency of ultrasonic welding. The using of multiple function acoustic horn can reduce machining time very effectively. This paper performs the analysis and design of multiple function acoustic horns for ultrasonic welding of plastic by employing ANSYS finite element software. Firstly, the theoretical dimensions of the horns are calculated. Moreover, their natural frequencies and amplitudes are obtained through the simulations of ANSYS. Experiments are currently being set up to verify the validity of the analytical results.
