The new GMX-HP features increased weld power, furnished by a high-capacity 8kW, 20kHz power supply. Welding power is transmitted through a direct-press actuator, equipped with dual linear bearing guides, precision distance sensors and a dynamic pressure trigger that deliver greater part-holding downforce with the high stability needed for repeatable weld quality.
These characteristics make the GMX-HP welder suitable for ultrasonic welding of larger-diameter conductors, terminations and busbars essential for increased power-carrying capacity, or for bonding the thicker stacks of anode/cathode films used in high power-density batteries or energy storage systems, according to Emerson.
The GMX-HP welder is also designed for flexibility and productivity, from automation design through long-run manufacturing. The welder’s modular design accommodates base mounting, rear-gantry or top-gantry mountings to simplify configuration, installation and operation of multimachine automated welding systems.
A new quick-release modular actuator enables rapid, but precise, change-outs of weld “horns” or entire weld “stacks” to meet varied production requirements.
Built into the weld power supply, the welder’s programmable digital controls can manage the welding process in multiple modes: time, energy, peak power and distance. These weld modes ensure the added precision required to maintain tight weld process control despite occasional variations in part surface quality or cleanliness. Production and quality assurance managers can track weld output, quality and yields with the help of the full array of weld-data collection and storage capabilities available in the GMX-HP weld power supply.
