What it is

The Branson 2000 iW+ is an integrated ultrasonic plastic welder used for joining plastic parts with ultrasonic energy.[10]

The Branson 2000 iW+ is a self-contained bench unit that combines a power supply module, process controls, a welding stand, and an actuator.[1]

How it works

Ultrasonic welding joins thermoplastic parts by applying ultrasonic energy, force, and timed motion through an acoustic stack that includes a converter, booster, and horn.[10][1]

The 2000 iW+ supports welding by time, collapse distance, or absolute distance.[2][1]

The 2000 iW+ uses automatic tuning and closed-loop amplitude control to maintain output consistency during operation.[1]

Applications

The Branson 2000 iW+ is used for welding, staking, inserting, swaging, spot welding, degating, cutting, and sealing thermoplastics.[1]

The Branson 2000 iW+ is also used to seal synthetic fabrics, films, and other thin thermoplastic materials.[1]

Frequently asked questions

What materials can be welded with an ultrasonic welder of this class?General reference — not yet source-verified

Ultrasonic welders of this class are intended for thermoplastic materials, particularly amorphous resins and some semi-crystalline resins that respond well to high-frequency vibration. The process requires that both parts have compatible melt temperatures and that at least one part can transmit vibration to the joint area.

How is joint quality controlled during the weld cycle?General reference — not yet source-verified

The system controls the weld by regulating vibration amplitude, applied force, and weld duration. Class-level ultrasonic welders can also monitor energy or collapse distance to determine when the joint has reached the desired state, and modern units provide closed-loop adjustment to maintain repeatability.
