A device for compressing packaging sleeves includes at least two movably supported pressure bars for compressing the packaging sleeve, and at least one drive for moving the pressure bars. The pressure bars are supported in such a way that between the pressure bars a gap is created, the longitudinal direction of which corresponds to a transport direction of the packaging sleeve. The pressure bars are supported in such a way that the distance between the pressure bars is variable. The pressure bars are supported in such a way that the pressure bars are movable in the longitudinal direction of the gap. Also described is a corresponding method for compressing packaging sleeves.

A cushioning mechanism of a heat sealing device applied in a film wrapping machine has a leading cylinder, an elastic unit, a first cushioning plate, a second cushioning plate, and a cushioning component. The elastic unit, the first cushioning plate, and the second cushioning plate are sequentially disposed on the leading cylinder along an axial direction of the leading cylinder; the first cushioning plate and the leading cylinder rotate synchronously. The cushioning component has a cushioning groove and a cushioning protrusion respectively formed on the first cushioning plate and the second cushioning plate. When the second cushioning plate is rotated, the cushioning protrusion presses one of two groove walls of the cushioning groove such that the first cushioning plate can rotate synchronously with the second cushioning plate for transmission or move relative to the leading cylinder to compress the elastic unit for cushioning.

A sealing device generally includes a rotatable support cylinder having an outer, circumferential surface and a heating element disposed about such surface and secured thereto such that the heating element rotates therewith. The heating element is coiled about the outer surface of the cylinder in the form of an overlapping helical pattern. Juxtaposed film plies may be sealed together by bringing the sealing device into rotational contact with the juxtaposed film plies and heating the heating element to a temperature sufficient to cause the film plies to seal together.

An ultrasonic welding system includes a movable ultrasonic welding stack for applying vibrational energy to a workpiece. A motion control system controls the motion of the ultrasonic welding stack and one or more sensors sense a control variable and output a corresponding control signal. A controller provides control inputs, based on the control signal, to the motion control system and causes, following initiation of a welding operation, an automatic change of speed of motion of the ultrasonic welding stack. The automatic change of the speed is a function of at least one control variable until the control variable reaches a predetermined value.

A horn and an anvil are moved toward and away from each other by axially reciprocating a driving rod and thereby reciprocatingly rotating a forked lever in a predetermined angle range. The horn and the anvil are moved toward and pressed against each other with a predetermined force with a bag mouth b held therebetween. A sensor detects the position of a second mounting block secured to the rear end of a sliding shaft of the anvil, thereby detecting the distance between respective pressing surfaces of the horn and the anvil, i.e. the thickness m of a portion of the bag mouth held between the pressing surfaces. When the thickness m is not less than a predetermined threshold value M, a vibrator is activated to perform sealing. When the thickness m is less than the threshold value M, no sealing is performed.

An ultrasonic welding system includes a motion control system that is coupled to and that causes controlled movement of an ultrasonic welding stack, in accordance with control inputs that are based on one or more control signals that are received from one or more sensors. The motion control system initiates a welding operation, subsequent to which an initial motion delay occurs until a predetermined condition is satisfied. Subsequently, in response to the predetermined condition being satisfied, the ultrasonic welding stack is caused to move in accordance with a weld profile. Subsequently, in response to an occurrence of a predetermined delay initiating condition, the ultrasonic welding stack is caused to stop motion and to maintain a stationary position. Subsequently, in response to an occurrence of a predetermined delay terminating condition, motion of the ultrasonic welding stack is resumed in accordance with the weld profile.
