Around the world, traditional manufacturing industry is in the throes of a digital transformation that is accelerated by exponentially growing technologies (e.g. intelligent robots, autonomous drones, sensors, 3D printing). The pace of change reflects ’Moore’s law’ on the speed at which information technology-driven change happens. Companies and their industrial processes need to adapt to this rapid change if they are not to be left behind by developments in their sector and by their competitors.

More than almost any other industry, the printing industry has been experiencing an uninterrupted series of trends towards digitization for decades. As a result, this change repeatedly forced established business models to be put to the test and new goals to be defined. In all process stages, from media design to print finishing, production processes have been digitized and automated to an extent that would have seemed almost inconceivable just 25 years ago. The increasing demand for variable content, ever-shorter print runs, and expedited delivery time has been driving this development further, as well as presenting print shop logistics with new tasks. Job management and Production Planning and Control (PPC) are currently being reorganized by the Internet, mobile communications and the transfer of crucial processes to the cloud.

The advanced actuation system on Emerson’s new Branson GSX ultrasonic welder dynamically adjusts weld force to enable reliable assembly of plastic parts in product designs considered too small, delicate or difficult to weld before. This white paper outlines the development of the new actuation system and explains how improved force control — particularly “dynamic follow-through” after plastic melt — contributes to superior weld strength and quality. The paper also describes head-to-head tests in which the new Branson GSX actuation system outperformed existing welders with pneumatic and servo-controlled actuators by completing consistently good welds on plastic parts that could not be reliably welded in the past.
