TOL-O-MATIC has announced the SW Series Servo Welding Actuator—a patented new design that offers compact design, significantly extended service life and zero maintenance. Rated life at weld force exceeds 10 million cycles for roller screw models and 5 million for ball screw models when side loading is within specification. (read more)

The patented Tower of Cool incorporates the building air-conditioning and enclosures into one closed-loop thermal system. This closed-loop system allows for up to 10kW of heat removal within just one rack space, by far one of the best air-cooled solutions on the market (read more)

Ultrasonic metal welding is sometimes called "cold welding" because it works without melting the metals. It cleans and welds at temperatures lower than the melting point of the metals. Ultrasonic metal welding most commonly joins nonferrous metals, but can also be used with other metals, such as when welding aluminum to ceramics. (read more)

Dukane introduces IQ Series Software for ultrasonic plastic welding systems. Ethernet capabilities allow remote access from anywhere in your manufacturing facility, or anywhere in the world. The graph and save tools make quality management and documentation easier (ideal for FDA/GAMP guidelines). Production analysis screens track efficiency/productivity. (read more)

Econo-Flow Coolers: A Multi-Stage, Fluid Bed Counterflow Cooler for the Efficient Cooling and Heat Recuperation of Free-Flowing Materials. Custom-Engineered Specifications: The Econo-Flow Cooler is customer designed and manufactured to meet a host of material cooling requirements. (read more)

Making Light Work of your plastic assembly challenge. With laser welding, joints are dust-proof, humidity-proof, and crack resistant. They feature excellent aesthetics and can be made invisible. Extremely precise and controllable, laser welding is versatile and capable & probably costs less than you think. (read more)

The process of hot plate welding uses a heated platen to melt the joining surfaces of the two halves of a thermoplastic part. Properly designed joints welded under precise process control often equal or exceeds the strength of any other part area. SEE ANSWERS TO FAQs & A VIDEO DEMONSTRATION (read more)
