An ultrasonic-welding apparatus including: a cradle, onto which two work pieces are mounted, and which can rotate around an axis vertical to the welding surface of the work pieces; a welding horn, which carries out welding using ultrasonic energy while sandwiching the two work pieces between it and the cradle; a transmission-type laser sensor which measures the fixed part of the work pieces after welding, rotating on the cradle, in the condition that the welding horn is apart from the work pieces after welding; and an optical sensor including a light-emitting part, a light-receiving part, a connecting part on which the light-emitting and light-receiving parts are mounted, and an adjusting part that rotates the connecting part around two axes.

Ultrasonic-welding apparatus, optical sensor and rotation sensor for the ultrasonic-welding apparatus

To provide the ultrasonic-welding apparatus, which can attain the above-mentioned requirement, and which can automatically achieve both measurement of the face-deflection the work piece after welding and the welding of work pieces, such as a reel for a magnetic tape, there is provided an ultrasonic-welding apparatus comprising; a cradle, onto which two work pieces of to be welded and welded to are mounted in piles, and which can rotate around the axis vertical to the welding surface of the work piece of to be welded; a welding hone, which carries out welding using a supersonic in the condition of having sandwiched the two work pieces between the cradle; and a transmission-type laser sensor which measures the fixed part of the work pieces after welding by irradiation of the laser light which runs parallel to the welding surface, and the transmission-type laser sensor measures the fixed part of the work piece after welding, which is rotating on the cradle, in the condition that the welding hone is apart from the work piece after welding.

An ultrasonic-welding apparatus, which can automatically achieve measurement of the face-deflection the work piece after welding and during the welding of work pieces, such as a reel for a magnetic tape. The ultrasonic-welding apparatus includes: a cradle, onto which two types of work pieces to be welded are mounted in piles, and which can rotate around an axis vertical to the welding surface of a workpiece to be welded; a welding horn, which carries out welding using ultrasonic vibration wherein the two work pieces are sandwiched by the cradle; and a transmission-type laser sensor which measures the fixed part of the work pieces, after welding, by the irradiation of laser light which runs parallel to the welding surface, wherein the workpieces are rotating on the cradle and the welding horn is apart from the work pieces.
