Sonic weld for Hardtrim door reinforcement
- Requirements
The client required a station for welding together two plastic parts inside a door’s frame, in order to serve as reinforcement. The station required clamping a large door frame while minimizing depth.
- Solution
LG AUTOMATION designed a station that leveraged a lift system so that the door frame could be placed vertically on their nests, therefore maintaining ergonomics due to the door frame’s size.
- Results
The station integrated Dukane ultrasonic welding systems, as well as Allen Bradley PLC & HMI and Keyence safety light curtains.
The station was capable of welding multiple points on the door reinforcement, as well as processing LH and RH variants simultaneously.
