Design and Development of a New Automated and High Speed Cap Sealing System

Plastic welding is a technical process of welding plastic component together and it is one of the primary processes of joining plastics. There are several types of techniques in the plastic welding including hot gas welding, extrusion welding, contact welding, hot plate welding, injection welding, and friction welding, To increase the plastic welding speed and sealing capacity, this research introduces a new automated and high speed cap sealing system applied to cartridge filled with gas product. The computer-aided modeling analysis and prototype testing show that this automated and high speed welding system has high production rate, good sealing quality, reliable function, and cost-effective manufacturing process.
