    Abstract: Ultrasonic welding system (1) and method for making welds on a strip (2) made of polymeric material. The welding system (1) comprises a supporting structure (20), N welding equipment (30) mounted on said supporting structure (20) and a processor (40). The N welding equipment (30) each comprise a pair of welding heads (31) made of a sonotrode (32), comprising a sonotrode welding surface (32'), and an anvil (34), comprising an anvil welding surface (34'). In each of the N welding equipment (30), one movable welding head between the two welding heads (32, 34) of each pair of welding heads (31) is movable with respect to the other welding head (32) of the pair (31) between a non-operating position and a welding position. Each of the N welding equipment (30) comprises a control member (36) operatively associated with the respective sonotrode (32), said control member (36) being configured to vibrate the sonotrode (32) at a nominal ultrasonic vibration frequency and to detect a current value of the vibration frequency of the sonotrode (32). Each of the N welding equipment (30) comprises a vibration sensor (38) which is mounted on the movable welding head of the respective pair of welding heads (31). The processor is configured to monitor, for each pair of welding heads (31), the alignment condition between the sonotrode welding surface (32') and the anvil welding surface (34') by cooperating with the respective control member (36) and with the respective vibration sensor (38).
