    摘要: A manufacturing machine for the production of disposable cartridges for electronic cigarettes provided with a base; a support body, coupled to the base and is provided with a number of electrodes; a heating member electrically connected to the electrodes; and a substrate which surrounds the heating member. The manufacturing machine is provided with feeding conveyor, which feeds a semi-finished disposable cartridges along a forming path; and a number of operating stations arranged along the first forming path to alternatively carry out the supplying of a corresponding component of the semi-finished disposable cartridges or to carry out a processing of the components of the semi-finished disposable cartridges. The feeding conveyor has an annular guide arranged in a fixed position along the forming path; and a number of slides, each of which is coupled to a respective carriage designed to house the semi-finished disposable cartridges.

    摘要: A method and a device for the ultrasonic welding of a first component to a second component of an electronic cigarette cartridge, wherein both components are made of a plastic material; the device includes an ultrasound generator, which delivers an electric pulse to a vibrating assembly, which, in turn, includes a converter designed to turn the electric pulse into a mechanical vibration movement and transfers it to a sonotrode, which directly transmits the energy in the form of vibrations to the two components to be welded; the sonotrode is designed so as to simultaneously weld a plurality of first components to the respective second components and cooperates with a plurality of striker elements, each associated to a respective first component and to a respective second component to be welded; and wherein each striker element is connected to a sensor, which is designed to detect a parameter of the welding process carried out to weld the first component to the second component and to control the welding process carried out to weld the first component to the second component based on the parameter.
