SLIMLINE systems
Standardized ultrasonic welding for semi-continuous operation in automation systems, maximum cycle rate – the typical requirement profile for an effective stack, also in packaging technology.
- 20, 30, and 35 kHz operating frequency
- 900 – 6,200 W generator power
- 10 – 2,490 N weld force
Fast movement sequences in the automation environment means money. The ultrasonic actuators VE SLIMLINE DIALOG with the pneumatic drive system HMC meet these requirements. The servo-pneumatic drive patented by Herrmann Ultraschall allows the stack to be freely positioned and ensures fast stroke motion, and its SoftTouch mode allows gentle contact with the plastic component to be joined in ultrasonic welding. The necessary weld forces and force profiles can be chosen and set as required. This protects sensitive weld joints and part surfaces.
- Weld process control: DIALOG control
- SpeedControl: freely programmable servo-pneumatic drive system HMC
- Reduced part-to-part times thanks to fast travel movements
- Pneumatics module in one assembly unit
- Interfaces for simple system integration
The latest generation of weld process software proves the innovativeness of Herrmann Ultraschall. DIALOG G4 stands for superlative software for the control and operation of the weld process, machine equipment, and up to six customized auxiliary functions. The intelligent process control reduces the reject rate, thus increasing efficiency.

The actuator VE SLIMLINE VARIO offers the most flexible platform for automation tasks. Suitable generator power levels of up to 6,200 Watt in 3 different weld frequencies, strokes optimized to the cycle time, and a very wide range of weld force gradations can be configured depending on the weld application. Reliable proportional valve technology from Herrmann comes as standard as does the use of highly precise position measuring systems. The VARIO Control weld process controller provides support in parameter finding and quality recording during production with a visualization of the ultrasonic welding process.
