Ultrasonic protective cell

The use of ultrasonic welding for thermoplastics and non-ferrous metals has been rising in industry, which is due to the fact that it makes the manufacturing process more economically efficient and technologically optimal. Two operating frequencies, 20 kHz and 35 kHz, are used as a standard in the industry. Both frequencies are outside of the human hearing range. Due to certain characteristics of the workpiece (shape, material etc.), a sound can occur during the process, which spreads throughout the human hearing range – from about 50 Hz to about 16 kHz. This sound can be irritating. The sound is eliminated by integrating the machines into our ultrasonic protective cell.

European standards increasingly emphasise the safety of operators and third parties, therefore VIAL Automation d.o.o. has decided to develop an own product to remove the harmful effects of ultrasonic frequency. Our experts have developed the ultrasonic protective cell (UPC), which improves working conditions in the industry and raises them to a higher level. It protects ultrasound technology operators and their co-workers from disruptive influences. The ultrasonic protective cell was tested at the renowned Swiss Institute for Safety at Work (SUVA). The UPC, marketed under VIAL Automation’s own brand, meets all international standards.
