    Abstract: An ultrasonic welding system and method for making welds on a strip made of polymeric material. The system includes a supporting structure, N welding equipment mounted thereon, and a processor. Each N welding equipment includes a pair of welding heads made of a sonotrode, including a sonotrode welding surface, and an anvil, including an anvil welding surface. One of the two welding heads is movable with respect to the other between a non-operating position and a welding position. A control member is operatively associated with the sonotrode and configured to vibrate the sonotrode at a nominal ultrasonic vibration frequency and to detect a current value of the vibration frequency. A vibration sensor is mounted on the movable welding head. The processor monitors the alignment condition between the sonotrode welding surface and the anvil welding surface by cooperating with the control member and with the vibration sensor.

    Abstract: A production line of absorbent sanitary articles and production control method. The line includes production devices configured to perform production operations on the absorbent sanitary articles; sensors adapted to detect current values of operating parameters indicative of the current operation of the production devices; and a control unit including a memory and a processor configured to perform a comparison between the current values of the operating parameters and respective predetermined reference values stored in the memory and, in the presence of an anomalous operating parameter, to identify, among a plurality of possible malfunctioning causes, a current malfunctioning cause responsible for the anomalous operating parameter. The processor is configured to perform the comparison independently of a detection of any defects in the absorbent sanitary articles and is configured to identify the current malfunctioning cause, among a plurality of possible malfunctioning causes, starting from the anomalous operating parameter.

    Abstract: An apparatus for mutually welding at least two elements of an absorbent sanitary item, including a supporting structure, a first welding member including a first welding surface, and a second welding member including a second welding surface. The second welding member is movable with respect to the first welding member between a non-operating position, in which the second welding surface is spaced apart from the first welding surface to allow at least two elements of the absorbent sanitary item to be positioned above the first welding surface, and a welding position, in which the second welding surface is in contact with the first welding surface to allow welding the at least two elements. One of the welding members includes a yielding coupling element configured to allow a relative displacement between the first and second welding surfaces as a result of the mutual contact between the second and first welding members.

    Abstract: A rotary device for welding a continuous web includes a rotary element, support elements for supporting the web, supported by the rotary element, and a plurality of welding units for welding the web. Each welding unit passes from a non-operating position to an operating position and vice versa, and includes a first movement device for commanding a relative rotation of an anvil element relative to a welding tip and a second movement device for moving the anvil element relative to the welding tip such that a contact surface of the anvil element and a contact surface of the welding tip make contact with a portion of the web in a zone between them, and vice versa. First and second drive mechanisms drive the first and second movement devices. The first and second drive mechanisms are configured to vary a positioning of the welding tip relative to the axis.

    Abstract: An apparatus for forming an absorbent pad for an absorbent sanitary article having a zone free of absorbent material to define a channel of the pad includes a forming drum, a first feed system for feeding a first web, a second feed system for feeding a second web, a spreader for spreading the absorbent material on the drum; a joining system for joining the first and second webs to define the channels. A first dispenser forms on the first web a layer of first adhesive substance according to a spreading pattern having zones free of the first adhesive substance corresponding to the channels. A second dispenser dispenses a second adhesive substance, whose adhesive force is greater than an adhesive force of the first adhesive substance, on the second web according to a pattern having a layer placed at a zone free of the first adhesive substance.
