An ultrasonic welding device includes a sonotrode with a sonotrode surface, a lateral slide with a lateral slide surface, a touching element with a touching surface and an insertion chamber for inserting joining parts. The insertion chamber is defined in a first axial direction (y) on a first side by the sonotrode surface and in a second axial direction (x) on a second side by the lateral slide surface and on a third side opposing the second side by the touching surface. Furthermore, the ultrasonic welding device includes a first receiving element with a first stop edge and a second receiving element with a second stop edge. The first receiving element and the second receiving element are arranged to be movable in relation to each other between a starting position and an end position.

Ultrasonic welding device with a v-shaped joining part receptacle

An ultrasonic welding device includes a sonotrode, an anvil, a touching element, a lateral slide, a stop element and a receiving chamber in which joining partners are received and which is defined by bordering components of the ultrasonic welding device. The receiving chamber is defined on a first side by the sonotrode and on a second side by the anvil. The receiving chamber is further defined on a third side by the touching element and on a fourth side by the lateral slide. The receiving chamber is further defined on a fifth side, extending transverse to the first to fourth sides, by the stop element. The first stop element is electrically conductive on its surface directed toward the receiving chamber in order to form a first electrode.

Ultrasonic welding device with position detection of joint partners

An ultrasonic welding device includes a sonotrode, an anvil, a touching element, a lateral slide, a first stop element, a drive device, and a receiving chamber in which joining partners are to be received. The receiving chamber is defined on a first side by a surface of the sonotrode and on a second side opposing the first side by a surface of the anvil. The receiving chamber is further defined on a third side by a surface of the touching element and on a fourth side opposing the third side by a surface of the lateral slide. The first stop element is displaceable between a pulled-in position and a pulled-out position. The first stop element in the pulled-in position defines the receiving chamber on a fifth side extending transverse to the first to fourth sides and in the pulled-out position leaves the receiving chamber open on the fifth side.

Ultrasonic welding device with displaceable stop element

The invention relates to a sonotrode () of an ultrasonic welding device with a sonotrode body () with sonotrode head () with at least one working surface () extending in the longitudinal direction of the sonotrode head for welding or welding together and/or deforming and/or cutting at least one item of metallic welding material, wherein the sonotrode head has cross-sections which vary along the working surface in such a way that the cross-section of the sonotrode head in the end region of the working surface extending at the end face is greater than in the middle region of the working surface.

Handling an information plate includes receiving the information plate at a roller element, the information plate rolling over the roller element; detecting a position of the information plate using a scanning lever, the scanning lever having a scanning edge pressed against an edge of the information plate; driving a transport wheel into rotation based on the detected position of the information plate; exerting a tangential force on the edge of the information plate using the transport wheel; and transporting the information plate into a loading device, the information plate supported by the transport wheel and the roller element.

Information plate handling in a read/write device

A device for reading information stored on an information plate (), and/or for writing information on an information plate (), includes a loading mechanism for loading and unloading the information plate (). The loading mechanism includes at least one movable scanning lever () for detecting the position of the information plate (). The lever is designed for making contact with the plate edge of the information plate (). A position sensor is provided for supplying position information on the position of the information plate () in dependence on the position of the scanning lever ().
