Vortex booster

Sonotrode cooling for high duty cycle applications

Advantages at a glance

Short cycle times
High throughput, high productivity
Simple tool change
Economical use of air and coolant

The vortex boosters are ultrasonic tools which allow a high duty cycle thanks to integrated, efficient cooling. The innovative cooling concept enables short cycle times, such as those required for robot applications. This makes the vortex boosters ideal for robot integration. Apart from the advantages of a shortened processing time and a slim design, the vortex booster also offers fixed interfaces for the cooling medium, which remain unaffected in the event of a tool change.

Areas of application

In automotive engineering, manufacturers are increasingly using robots for ultrasonic welding of plastic components:

Assembly of individual components to form larger modules (riveting)
Welding of insulating mats (spot welding)
