Objective
High Frequency welding equipment is used all over the world especially for welding plastic films of Polyurethane and PVC. Main products welded with the technique are e.g. life jackets drip and blood bags rain clothing and lorry covers. The problem with the used technique is that the very high power up to 80 kW in combination with old low tech equipment vacuum tube both gives a high energy loss and a high level of electromagnetic radiation. The International Commission on Non Ionizing Radiation Protection have published a standard that lays down the electro-magnetic field strengths to which the human body may be exposed. The HF Welders are really living on the edge of this standard. The overall objective is to develop a new technique for HF welding based on modern technology giving better energy efficiency and lower levels of electromagnetic radiation. A secondary objective is to automate the frequency adjustment. This will enable tuning for new materials products and welding of materials with varying thickness. The RTD will concentrate on solving the technical problems regarding. The vacuum tube how to replace it with modern solid state technique to eliminate the electromagnetic radiation and reduce the energy consumption. Frequency adjustments new regulating equipment for optimized weld cycle easier tuning when new materials or products are to be welded and enable more complex products to be welded This also includes the development of new materials.
Results exploitation
The result will be a new HF welding equipment radiation free low energy and versatile which the SME proposers will exploit sell in most countries in Europe with start in 2008 9...
