Dukane's line of highly modular thermal presses allow for maximum flexibility through bolt-on plug-in expandability. From Transducers to Training Programs and Coil Heaters to Cables you can select from a wide range of accessories and tools

All Dukane transducers use the finest piezo ceramics coupled with sophisticated manufacturing methods to ensure consistency and durability.

Dukane patented (US 6,984,921,BI) 20 kHz titanium boosters have no "O"rings. Designed for applications that benefit from solid mount minimal deflection. Additionally, situations where multiple horns are in very close proximity, these boosters eliminate the opportunity for horn contact with each other.

Ultrasonic Horns are available in a variety of sizes and powers.

Our Innova-Sonic® Model 206 In-Line is a state-of-the-art digital correlation transit-time ultrasonic flowmeter designed to give the end-user high performance at an affordable price. The instrument is designed specifically as an alternative choice or replacement for magnetic flowmeter applications. The instrument is also an ideal choice for any liquid flow application found in general industry.

While principally designed for clean liquid applications, our Innova- Sonic® In-Line is tolerant of liquids with small amounts of air bubbles or suspended solids common in most industrial environments. All flow meters in Sierra's Innova-Sonic® family offer low power consumption, high reliability and outstanding applicability at an affordable price.

Our Innova-Sonic® In-line is an order-of-magnitude improvement in transit-time ultrasonic flowmeters and features our patented ultra-precise PicoFlyTM measurement technology. An industry first, this advanced technology allows ultrasonic transit time-of-flight samples to be measured in picoseconds 10-12 (one trillionth of a second) for superb resolution and tremendous low flow detection rather than the typical nanoseconds 10-9 (one billionth of a second). In fact, the Innova-Sonic® In-Line can read zero and track zero flow with no damping.

Dukane has designed a new ergonomically friendly lean work cell for the manual assembly of plastic components. The cell can be designed to accommodate Ultrasonic, Spin, or Heat Staking applications. The main benefits of the cell are compact size, safety, ergonomics and robust construction.

The Lean cell has a small foot print, while still providing significant workspace for the application. The unique compact safety enclosure is only as large as the equipment inside. This leaves more table workspace to be used for staging parts while the equipment cycles. Casters with built in leveling adjustment are provided to allow for quick storage or placement of the Lean work cell to meet changing production requirements.

Safety was the driving factor in the design of this work cell. Features like OSHA approved anti-tie down activation switches and all electronically interlocked panels are standard. The pneumatics include an OSHA lock out device and filter regulator with soft start dump valve that provides an extra level of protection during equipment maintenance and setup. The front automatic pneumatic sliding door is counter balanced to meet low force pinch requirements.

All interactions are within the ergonomic reach zone of a sitting operator. The activation switch position is adjustable along with the placement of the part bins. To help reduce operator fatigue the enclosures can be manufactured with sound deadening material. The user interface is conveniently placed in operator's line of sight. Most importantly, the part load area is designed obstruction free. This area is open on three sides thanks to the unique door design. An operator footrest is also provided.

Ultrasonic staking, or riveting, is an assembly procedure used to join dissimilar materials, usually plastic to metal or dissimilar plastics. A hole in the metal part receives the plastic rivet, or stud, and a specially contoured horn contacts the stud. The stud melts and reforms to create a locking head over the metal.

As in any process involving localized heating by the dissipation of ultrasonic vibrations, an efficient system is necessary. The designer must control where and how fast a temperature rise will occur. Geometry plays an important role in determining the location of high strain which results in desirable localized heating, so an energy director is used in designs employing the ultrasonic staking technique. That is, the cross sectional area / height ratio of the material at the location where the initial dissipation is to occur is drastically reduced as compared to the adjacent segments which in this case are the body of the horn and the piece part containing the stud.

Two common designs are used to produce the needed geometry. The first Flat Stud, makes use of a point or line type contact incorporating the joint design in the tip (or base) of the horn itself. The second technique Pointed Stud, calls for the energy director to be designed into the stud.
