CONTROL OF PROCESSING FORCE AND PROCESS GAP IN RIGID ROTARY ULTRASONIC SYSTEMS

An ultrasonic processing method and apparatus (20) can include a rotatable, ultrasonic horn member (28) that is operatively joined to an isolation member (42) which has high rigidity. Additionally, a rotatable anvil member (86) can be cooperatively positioned to provide a selected horn-anvil gap (10...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An ultrasonic processing method and apparatus (20) can include a rotatable, ultrasonic horn member (28) that is operatively joined to an isolation member (42) which has high rigidity. Additionally, a rotatable anvil member (86) can be cooperatively positioned to provide a selected horn-anvil gap (106) between the anvil member (86) and the horn member (28). A transfer device (110) can be configured to selectively adjust the horn-anvil gap (106), and an automated drive (130) can be operatively connected to the transfer device (110) to selectively modify the horn-anvil gap (106). A force sensor (126) can be configured to detect a gap force at the horn-anvil gap (106), and an electronic processor (128) can be configured to employ an output from the force sensor (126) to monitor the gap force, and provide a drive signal to the automated drive (130) to thereby adjust the horn-anvil gap (106). Un metodo y un aparato de procesamiento ultrasonico pueden incluir un miembro de cuerno ultrasonico giratorio que esta unido operativamente a un miembro de aislamiento el cual tiene una alta rigidez. Adicionalmente, un miembro de yunque giratorio puede ser colocado cooperativamente para proporcionar una separacion de yunque-cuerno seleccionada entre el miembro de yunque y el miembro de cuerno. Un dispositivo de transferencia puede ser configurado para ajustar selectivamente la separacion de cuerno-yunque y un accionador automatizado puede ser conectado operativamente al dispositivo de transferencia para modificar selectivamente la separacion de cuerno-yunque. Un sensor de fuerza puede ser configurado para detectar una fuerza de separacion en la separacion de cuerno-yunque, y un procesador electronico puede ser configurado para emplear una salida del sensor de fuerza para vigilar la fuerza de separacion, y proporcionar una senal de impulsion al accionador automatizado para por tanto ajustar la separacion de cuerno-yunque.
