VHFIR-1015
Vertical Hydraulic Filter Infrared Welder
The VHFIR-1015 is a vertical infrared platen orientation, hydraulic motion controlled infrared welding system specifically designed for welding filter assemblies up to 10" D x 15" x 69" L (254mm x 381mm x 1753mm). Customized variants of this model are available.
This system design is ideal for: Welding stackable filter cartridge modules together. Embedding filter media into plastic end caps (replacing potting operations). Welding of filtration housings. Welding termination fittings (ie: end-caps, twist-lock unions, O-ring fittings, etc...) to the ends of filter cartridge modules.
- Operator loads part halves into holding fixtures.
- Operator initiates cycle activation switch.
- Safety door closes.
- Part halves are automatically held with vacuum or mechanical clamps/grippers.
- Infrared platen advances between part halves.
- Holding fixtures close to make contact with precise mechanical hard-stops on the infrared platen which maintain spacing between the parts and the infrared platen without actual contact.
- Infrared platen energizes, heating joint areas of part halves.
- Infrared platen de-energizes and holding fixtures retract away from infrared platen.
- Infrared platen retracts.
- Holding fixtures apply part halves together, welding parts together.
- One holding fixture releases its clamping mechanism.
- Holding fixtures open, retaining welded part(s) in one fixture.
- Safety door opens.
- Operator unloads welded part(s).
