Custom machine construction using ultrasonic technology
Custom-built machines
mth Ultraschalltechnologie GmbH was founded in 1993 and has since consistently established itself as a specialist provider in the field of ultrasonic welding of plastics.
The company develops and manufactures bespoke special-purpose machines with integrated ultrasonic technology to meet customer specifications, where the highest levels of precision, efficiency and process reliability are required. The focus is on solutions that are precisely tailored to customers’ production processes, enable near-series production and are designed for long-term use.
Core competencies – from development to service in the field of custom machine construction
We support you throughout all phases of your custom machinery manufacturing project involving integrated ultrasound technology:
- Consultancy and feasibility study
- Design and prototyping
- CNC machining and assembly
- Commissioning and training
- Service, on-demand maintenance and spare parts supply
- Everything from a single source – made in Germany.
All key ultrasound components are manufactured in-house at the company’s premises – a crucial factor in ensuring quality, availability and rapid adaptation.
An overview of the devices, control systems and modules
Below, we present the full range of our specialised machinery in detail:
1. Basic types of machinery
Long-stroke welding machines: We design long-stroke welding machines for continuous production processes, such as those involving films or strips. They enable seamless, high-speed processes.
Multi-head welding machines: When several welds need to be carried out simultaneously, we build multi-head systems with multiple sonotrodes. This enables high volumes to be produced in a short time.
Rotary welding machines: We process components with a circular cross-section, such as filters or pipes, using specialised rotary welding machines. These machines enable tight, uniform joints.
High-speed automatic sealing machines: mth develops automatic sealing machines for packaging and mass-produced goods that are designed to achieve maximum cycle rates whilst ensuring process reliability.
2. Key ultrasound components
Sonotrodes: We manufacture each sonotrode precisely to suit the specific application. The shape and material are custom-designed to ensure reliable welding of components.
Clamping systems / anvils: Our clamping systems hold workpieces securely in place during the welding process, ensuring precise, repeatable results.
Workpiece holders / fixtures: Custom-made fixtures from mth ensure that even complex component geometries can be machined with stability and repeatability.
3. Automation & Additional Modules
4. Control panel construction and safety engineering
In its own switch cabinet workshop, mth manufactures bespoke switchgear using components from leading manufacturers such as Rittal, Siemens, Eaton, Sick and Pilz.
Project planning is carried out using WS-CAD, whilst PLC programming is done using the Siemens TiA Portal. Pneumatic diagrams are drawn up in our design department using Festo, SMC and Aventics components.
Each control cabinet is designed specifically for the particular special-purpose machine – to ensure maximum flexibility, short lead times and the fulfilment of specific requirements, such as those in cleanroom or pharmaceutical environments.
5. PLC programming
We carry out PLC programming using the latest version of the Siemens TiA Portal. In addition, our in-house design department produces the pneumatic diagrams, for which we use tried-and-tested components from Festo, SMS and Aventics.
6. Application-specific solutions with our custom-built machines
Filter and membrane welding machines: Our bespoke solutions for filters and membranes guarantee maximum leak-tightness and durability, for example in the medical technology or automotive sectors.
Medical and pharmaceutical equipment: For sterile applications such as masks, catheters and syringes, we implement validated processes that meet the highest safety standards.
Micro-precision systems: We develop micro-precision systems for electronics manufacturing and micro-components that reliably weld the finest structures.
Typical applications and industries using mth’s specialised machinery
- Automotive industry: Special-purpose machinery for precision plastic joining
- Medical technology: Process reliability and precision for sensitive products
- Pharmaceutical industry: Cleanroom-compatible design, validatable processes and comprehensive documentation
- Industry (general): A wide range of sectors meets vertical integration
- Electrical and consumer goods industry: Fully automated processes for high-volume production
- Packaging industry: secure sealing – flexible and efficient
One of our strengths lies in specialised niche solutions, which we implement in a particularly cost-effective manner – flexibly, precisely and tailored to individual needs.
Tailored precisely to the specific production environment
mth stands out for its ability to produce bespoke special-purpose machines:
- tailored precisely to the specific production environment
- can be integrated directly into existing systems
- offer near-volume production solutions
- take up very little space thanks to their compact design.
Independent and modular: By manufacturing all ultrasonic components in-house at its facility, mth remains independent of suppliers and can respond flexibly and promptly. At the same time, the modular design allows for quick adaptation to customer-specific requirements.
Personalized Support: Instead of rigid standard processes, mth focuses on close collaboration, quick decision-making, and development based on partnership. This results in solutions that are not only technically sound but also deliver measurable economic benefits.
