Abstract: A method of and apparatus for forming a bag assembly by RF welding. A single source of RF energy is used to generate a high frequency electric field having a first strength between tube-welding electrodes of opposing die members and a second strength less than the first strength between perimeter-welding electrodes of the opposing die members. Respective portions of the bag assembly are subjected to this variable-strength field simultaneously so that the bag assembly is formed in one welding operation. Stand-offs are used in some embodiments to limit penetration of the electrodes into the weld areas.

Abstract: An ultrasonic welding system includes an ultrasonic welding stack mounted for linear movement and for applying a controlled force, speed, or a combination of force and speed to a first workpiece to press the first workpiece against a second workpiece to which the first workpiece is to be joined, and an electrically powered linear actuator coupled to the ultrasonic welding stack for moving the stack while applying a controlled force, speed, or a combination of force and speed to said stack, the actuator including an electrical servo motor producing rotational mechanical motion and an integrated converter for converting the rotational motion into linear motion. In one specific implementation, a controller is coupled to the linear actuator for controlling the force applied by said actuator to the ultrasonic welding stack, and a sensor is coupled to the servo motor for producing a signal related to the torque produced by the servo motor and supplying that signal to the controller. In a second specific implementation, a load cell is used for force feedback to the motion controller with a linear or rotary position feedback device used to provide position and velocity feedback to the motion controller. The controller controls the electrical power delivered to the servo motor so as to control the torque and speed outputs of the motor.

Abstract: An array of resilient floor tiles is assembled into a continuous sheet after being laid down. An array of included, sacrificial resistive wires is buried along the edges of the tiles and is controllably heated in order to cause welding of the edges of tiles across the paths of the wires to neighbouring tiles. Subsequently the wires may be used to give the array integral tensile strength. The welded array is provided with greater strength for resisting use, expansive and contractile forces caused by environmental heat and cold and also long-term tile contraction owing to loss of plasticiser as may be seen with PVC-based tiles.

Abstract: A method of forming a series of bags for bulky articles from rolled thermoplastic film and padding element includes arranging a linear, longitudinally traveling queue of layers of film and padding element according to a set of desired bag dimensions and characteristics and controlling the advancement of the queue to make padding element and seal cuts to form the bags. The invention also includes a system for fabricating bags substantially in the manner identified in the method of the present invention, as well as a method of forming seal cuts in which an envelope is first clamped, then sealed and cut by heat and pressure, then allowed to cool before being released.
