The first model of Emerson’s next-generation Branson Polaris Ultrasonic Welding Platform, a unique entry-level system that offers versatility and control capabilities to satisfy a range of manufacturing applications, will be released this summer. With the actuator, power supply, and process controls all in one unit, this Branson Polaris Integrated Welder (IW) model offers an easy-to-use and ergonomic design to simplify operation and serviceability.
With its improved welding capabilities, the Polaris IW may be used in a wide range of industries, including consumer electronics, automotive, textile, and food packaging. The welder’s compact, all-in-one design allows for easy integration into automated production lines and reduces space usage.
The Welder’s 7-inch HMI, LCD Touchscreen Features:
- An operation summary display.
- Using this interface, users can view recipe parameters, calibrations, weld history and alarm log as well as system information and diagnostics.
- Allow for easier operation and more efficient processes.
- Additional features include a load cell for precise trigger setting, horn diagnostics, built-in amplitude control, pre-trigger function and cycle and batch counter.
- The Polaris IW also offers enhanced cybersecurity that helps keep manufacturing assets safe and compliant.
Upcoming Polaris product releases will offer scalable, automation-friendly systems with configurable controls, power supplies and software that allow manufacturers to customize their systems for a wide range of applications.
With advanced connectivity, operators can analyze data, optimize performance and ensure compliance as production environments evolve.
Manufacturing engineers can choose their configurable Polaris platform components or work with Emerson welding industry specialists to help select the right mix of components for the most effective and most stable material-joining solution the application requires.
