Herrmann is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its newest Tech Center and laboratory in Monterrey, Mexico, on April 24, 2025. With over 60 years of pioneering German-designed ultrasonic technologies, this milestone marks a significant step in bringing the latest innovations closer to manufacturers and industry leaders in Mexico and beyond.
Automated connection of medical components for maximum output
Perfect for automated assembly: Thanks to minimized welding times and real-time process control, ultrasonics is ideal for manufacturing medical components in high volumes. Find out the advantages of the technology for your application in this article.
Joining Plastics of Medical Devices Without Adhesive
Particularly for medical products with direct skin contact, high wear comfort and skin compatibility are crucial for the quality of the product and customer satisfaction. Manufacturers should therefore avoid chemicals such as IBOA and connect plastics with processes that do not require adhesives, solvents or environmentally harmful substances - ultrasonics make this possible.
The switch from PVC to thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) in medical technology promotes health and environmental protection. TPE is phthalate-free, biocompatible and easier to recycle, which reduces the risks of allergies and environmental pollution. Despite challenges in joining TPE, ultrasonic welding offers an effective solution for stable and durable joints. This step improves product quality and minimizes health risks in the medical industry.
Minimal scrap rates with twice as fast cycle times: New developments in ultrasonic welding enable an optimization of production and can permanently reduce manufacturing costs for batteries and wire harnesses. A big help comes from the experience gained in the welding of plastics.
Increasing the sustainability of EV with ultrasonics
Sustainability becomes particularly interesting for companies when combined with cost savings. However, is that possible in the production of electric vehicles? As a particularly efficient, safe, and material-friendly process, ultrasonic welding offers some exciting options.
Utilizing the digital potential of battery manufacturing
Up to 150 data points per welding process: Ultrasonic welding offers exciting opportunities for the digitalization of battery production - both in manual workstations and automated systems. If the data is used correctly, both safety and efficiency can be permanently increased, and new standards can be set in quality control.
Joining medical applications quickly and sustainably with ultrasonics
Connecting plastics without adhesives: Using ultrasonics as a joining technology, companies can produce their applications skin-friendly and eco-friendly. If certain specifications for the components are met, the process can also be used for sensitive applications with complex geometries.
Herrmann Ultraschall is supporting a social welfare center with 10,000 euros. The money will urgently purchase essential all-weather jackets for approximately 100 caregivers, an expense that could not be covered by the original budget.
Another 10,000 euros for the protection of the oceans: After 2022, Herrmann Ultraschall is once again supporting the non-profit organization The Ocean Cleanup, which frees the oceans from plastic waste.
New process: Sealing uncoated paper with ultrasonics
Ultrasonic sealing of uncoated paper is a joining process that is as innovative as it is environmentally friendly, enabling packaging companies to save significant amounts of energy and resources. Patent holder Syntegon Technology GmbH recently handed over exclusive rights to the process to Herrmann Ultraschall. The company wants to move the process to market maturity and establish it in the packaging industry.
In a new feasibility study, Herrmann Ultraschall investigated the welding of a recycled plastic. The result: with the right parameters, comparable welding results are as achievable as with conventional plastics.
Having the chance to be involved in the development of an ultrasonic welding machine: for Norbert Ennemoser from Ultra Reflex GmbH, Germany, this wish has come true. He was able to put the new HiQ machine generation from Herrmann Ultraschall through its paces for eight weeks as part of a field test. A collaboration that generated a lot of excitement on both sides.
Flawless appearance was the major challenge in welding an oval, three-dimensional half case for a consumer product. A joint development process between BSH and Herrmann Ultraschall succeeded in meeting these requirements while also providing strong joints.
Herrmann's Elastic Thread Anchoring (ETA) Sonotrode has been awarded the prestigious IDEA Equipment Achievement Award 2022. With this prize, the nonwovens association INDA honors the best technical developments in the industry.
Herrmann Ultraschalltechnik GmbH & Co. KG is optimizing its global structures, and has made André Deponte the new head of international headquarters. Deponte is to oversee closer global collaboration to ensure a standard customer experience around the world.
With the SLIMLINE systems, Herrmann Ultraschall offers the ideal welding solution for the automation of production processes. In addition to increased cycle rates, companies benefit from consulting with Herrmann Engineering, which enables rapid integration into production lines.
Herrmann Ultraschall is expanding its management team with André Deponte as the new Chief Sales Officer. With digital processes and an even closer cooperation between the global sales teams, he wants to create a consistent, exciting customer experience worldwide.
It’s a space-saving and sustainable solution for sealing hermetic and cosmetic seals on stand-up pouches: with the COS upgrade for the top seal module TSM from Herrmann Ultraschall, manufacturers of packaging machines will be able to perform several work steps in just one sealing station.
Systems from Herrmann Ultraschalltechnik GmbH & Co. KG reduced the reject rate for CUSTOMCELLS® during the production of a new battery application and thus increased efficiency for this manufacturer.
For the producers, manually inserting 18 brass female connectors into a plastic frame for a control unit was a laborious and costly process. Ultrasonic welding offered an efficient alternative which considerably shortened the cycle times and was also financially worthwhile – in spite of a lower unit count. The versatility of the sonotrode and HERRMANN ENGINEERING played a crucial role here.
