Branson Ultraseal® 20 Ultrasonic Tube Welding System

The Ultraseal® 20 is a compact and lightweight ergonomic system which is easy

to use and low cost to operate.

The Branson Ultraseal® 20 is a rigid, lightweight and ergonomic metal joining system able to seal metal tubes from 4 mm capillary up to 12 mm diameter. It is easily operated directly on the charge line, supported by a balancer, or as a bench top unit to reliably seal pressurized charge tubes.

Environmentally friendly, the Ultraseal® 20 requires no stored

energy, minimal energy at 'standby weld ready' and, with a stack efficiency of approximately 95%, delivers the lowest total operating cost over life of ownership.

The Ultraseal® 20 mechanically crimps the tube closed and vibrates the inner surfaces together at 20,000 cycles per second. The intense scrubbing action mixes the molecules forming a metallurgical bond ensuring a hermetic seal.

MODES OF OPERATION:

• Pre-Height Search: A pre-sonic

crimp measurement instantly scans and automatically activates the optimum weld parameters from the controller's memory sealing the tube. This is used when tube size and/or hardness varies within a production line to produce repeatable and reliable welds.

• Proximity Sensor: The ultrasonic

generator delivers high frequency vibratory energy sealing the tube to the preset final seal height. This is used when the tube size and hardness does not vary producing a repeatable and reliable seal.

• Explosion Proof Ultraseal® 20EX:

Independently lab certified for use with isobutene refrigerants. A safety purge system removes potentially trapped gas from the weld actuator prior to electrical startup and remains continuously active while powered up, eliminating the potential of gas accumulation.

This provides optimum production line and operator safety.

Superior Tool Life

Aside from labor, consumable tool cost is the largest expense in sealing tubes. Branson's replaceable tip technology provides high tool life at low cost.

Ultraseal® 20 Tooling Options

> 4-lobe single seal non-cut tip

> 4-lobe single seal cut-off tip

> 4-lobe double seal cut-off tip

• Branson tips are reversible for

left or right-handed charge tube processing.

• Only Branson offers Patented

Double Seal tooling with left

and right hand tube seal /cut-off processing without tool change.

• Ultraseal® 20 multi-lobed tips are

more economical than solid horn (sonotrode) technology.
