Tooth paste tube includes aluminum layer inner side. The outer side is made of pp or pe material. When the tube has aluminum layer, it is very difficult to weld by resistance, heating method. So ultrasonic welding method comes to scene at this point. Cosmetic tubes including PE and PP are also easily welded by ultrasound technology. Advantage of ultrasonic welding, is a cost effective and a green technolgy with below 1 second welding times. As ultrasonic welding is a cold welding method, it doesn’t destroy the material and the result is good looking. Sonikel Ultrasonics, designs and manufactures ultrasonic sonotrodes and fixing apparatus in the ultrasonic welding machine. Ultrasonic welding equipment includes sonotrode. In this application sonotrode is titanium with a special figüre at the bottom side. By using this sonotrode PBL and ABL tubes can be sealed. Ultrasonic generator gives energy to the sonotrode through ultrasonic convertor.

2. TOOTH PASTE TUBE FOR
ULTRASONIC WELDING
• Tooth paste tube includes aluminum layer inner side. The
outer side is made of pp or pe material. When the tube
has aluminum layer, it is very difficult to weld by resistance,
heating method. So ultrasonic welding method comes to
scene at this point.
• Cosmetic tubes including PE and PP are also easily welded
by ultrasound technology. Advantage of ultrasonic
welding, is a cost effective and a green technolgy with
below 1 second welding times.
• As ultrasonic welding is a cold welding method, it doesn’t
destroy the material and the result is good looking.
• Sonikel Ultrasonics, designs and manufactures ultrasonic
sonotrodes and fixing apparatus in the ultrasonic welding
machine.

3. ULTRASONIC WELDING
EQUIPMENT
• Ultrasonic welding equipment includes sonotrode. In this
application sonotrode is titanium with a special figüre at the
bottom side. By using this sonotrode PBL and ABL tubes can be
sealed.
• Ultrasonic generator gives energy to the sonotrode through
ultrasonic convertor.
• The sonotrode and fixture design and all calculations are being
realized by Sonikel R&D team.
• After manufacturing ultrasonic sonotrode, the frequency and
amplitude level is measured and come to an optimized level by
iteration method.

4. ULTRASONIC GENERATOR
• For ultrasonic tube sealing application, Sonikel Ultrasonics prefers
20kHz- 1500 Watt ultrasonic generator.
• SNKA-2020 or SNKA-2015 models can be also used for the same
application.
• Ultrasonic power supply can be controlled by a PLC on the tube
sealing machine or on the automation system. On the PLC by
using a normal open contact, the generator can be activated.
• On the front side of the ultrasonic generator, the ampermeter
shows the instant current value of the power supply.
• On the front panel, there are two led indicators to show over
voltage and over current conditions.

5. ULTRASONIC WELDING
SONOTRODE (HORN)
• Ultrasonic welding sonotrode (horn) can be manufactured by
aluminum or titanium material. Date marks are processed in the
bottom fixture.
• Ultrasonic horn, is mounted in the «booster» part made in steel.
• Ultrasonic sonotrode design is made by Sonikel Mechanical R&D
Team.
• Aluminum or titanium sonotrode frequencyt is measured after
produced. Amplitude level is also checked in R&D Laboratory.

6. COOLING FOR ULTRASONIC
SONOTRODE
• Ultrasonic welding system is going to be operated 7 days as 24 hours.
• As the sonotrode touches the tube during the welding by a pneumatic
force, heat is going to be created on the sonotrode.
• The heat will be transferred to convertor by steel booster.
• Sonikel Ultrasonics, plans and applies cooling systems for the sonotrode and
the convertor.
• For this kind of applications, Sonikel provides cooling fans and pressure air
regulated by pnuematic equipments.

7. THERMAL STABILITY FOR WELDING
• Ultrasonic convertor and ultrasonic sonotrode is cooled by
pnuematic air and cooling fan for thermal stability.
• Especially in summer, the temperature in factories is increased so
thermal stability affects welding quality.
• Thermal stability of Ultrasonic generator is also important for
welding quality so two cooling fans are used in the power supply
cabinet.
• In order to have a non stop production, cooling of the ultrasound
welding system is very important.

8. ABOUT SONIKEL ULTRASONICS
