Emerson’s new Branson GMX-HP ultrasonic metal welder combines greater power and downforce, essential for larger welds required by electric vehicles, batteries and energy storage systems, with a modular equipment design and features that simplify installation and automation for machine builders and manufacturers.
The new GMX-HP features increased weld power, furnished by a high-capacity 8 kW, 20 kHz 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 an excellent choice 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.
The GMX-HP welder is also designed for optimal flexibility and productivity, from automation design through long-run manufacturing.
