The present invention concerns an ultrasonic welding installation comprising an ultrasonic vibration unit having a sonotrode and a converter, wherein the sonotrode and the converter are arranged in mutually adjacent relationship along a longitudinal axis and the ultrasonic vibration unit can be caused to resonate with an ultrasonic vibration in the direction of the longitudinal axis with a wavelength λ/2, wherein there is provided a holder for holding the ultrasonic vibration unit. To provide an ultrasonic welding installation which allows simple and quick highly precise adjustment of the sealing surfaces of the sonotrode relative to the anvil it is proposed according to the invention that the holder has an angle positioning device, wherein the angle positioning device and the ultrasonic vibration unit are of such a configuration that they can be connected together in positively locking relationship so that a rotation of the ultrasonic vibration unit about the longitudinal axis is prevented by the positively locking connection and a relative movement between the ultrasonic vibration unit and the holder in the direction of the longitudinal axis is not prevented.

Ultrasonic welding system with a positive locking connection

The present invention concerns an ultrasonic welding installation comprising an ultrasonic vibration unit having a sonotrode and a converter, wherein the sonotrode and the converter are arranged in mutually adjacent relationship along a longitudinal axis and the ultrasonic vibration unit can be caused to resonate with an ultrasonic vibration in the direction of the longitudinal axis with a wavelength λ, wherein there can be provided an amplitude transformer arranged between the sonotrode and the converter, wherein there is provided a holder for holding the ultrasonic vibration unit. To provide an ultrasonic welding installation having a holder which allows simple adjustment of the ultrasonic vibration unit and simple replacement thereof it is proposed according to the invention that the holder has a clamping device which is reciprocable between an opened position in which the ultrasonic vibration unit can be removed from the holder and a closed position in which the clamping device comes into contact with the ultrasonic vibration unit and exerts a force on same so that the ultrasonic vibration unit is held.

Ultrasonic welding system having a holder

The present invention concerns an ultrasonic welding installation comprising an ultrasonic vibration unit having a sonotrode and a converter, wherein the sonotrode and the converter are arranged in mutually adjacent relationship along a longitudinal axis and the ultrasonic vibration unit can be caused to resonate with an ultrasonic vibration in the direction of the longitudinal axis with a wavelength &#x3bb;. To provide an ultrasonic welding installation which allows simple and fast highly precise adjustment of the sealing surfaces of the sonotrode relative to the anvil according to the invention there is proposed a support element for supporting a force applied to the sonotrode perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis, wherein the sonotrode and the support element have mutually corresponding support surfaces which at least when a force is applied to the sonotrode perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis come into contact with each other, wherein the support surfaces are of such a configuration that when they are in contact with each other they prevent a relative movement of the sonotrode with respect to the support element in the direction of the longitudinal axis and do not impede a rotation of the sonotrode about the longitudinal axis.
