SIGNA TB

The High-Efficiency, Space-Saving HF Welder

The SIGNA TB is a modern High Frequency (HF) welding press engineered for demanding serial production with a focus on maximizing throughput per square meter of floor space. SIGNA TB are perfect machines for serial production of orthosis, rehabilitation equipment, medical containers like blood or ostomy bags, as well as automotive parts and assemblies, embossing, clam shell plastic packaging, etc.

How the Machine Works

The SIGNA TB features a unique Dual-Table Design—a compact, vertical arrangement often referred to as a “Pater Noster” configuration. This design incorporates two automatic, pneumatically driven shuttle work tables, stacked one above the other, on a single side of the machine.

The fundamental work cycle is as follows:

Preparation (External): A single operator loads the material (e.g., PVC, TPU, or medical films) and the tooling onto the exposed lower table.
Welding (Internal): Simultaneously, the upper table is automatically cycled into the shielded welding press for the high-frequency fusion process.
Exchange: Once the weld is complete on the upper table, it cycles out, and the newly prepared lower table cycles in. The operator can then unload the finished product from the upper table and prepare it for the next weld cycle.

This simultaneous, continuous operation ensures the HF generator is utilized for welding nearly 100% of the time.

Small Footprint

By stacking the work tables vertically ("one above another") instead of requiring a long, horizontal sliding table system, the SIGNA TB achieves significant space savings on the production floor. This design is ideal for facilities where space utilization is critical.

Exceptional Efficiency

The continuous shuttle system eliminates the idle time associated with single-tray welders. Since the operator is always preparing the next load while the current one is welding, the machine provides a substantial increase in output while requiring only one operator. This boosts production capacity with minimal labor cost.

Precision and Versatility

Equipped with the ATS™ full power control and WCS™ Weld Control Systems, the machine ensures a smooth, precise, and consistent welding process for complex products like medical bags, automotive parts, blister packaging, and rehabilitation equipment.

SIGNA TB | description

Universal Versatility and Precision Control

The SIGNA TB series is engineered for maximum operational flexibility and superior weld quality across diverse materials and applications.

Material Flexibility and Conversion

This High Frequency (HF) welder is designed for universal application, ensuring high performance even with challenging polymers:

Heat Sealer Capability: The unit can be effortlessly converted into a standard Heat Sealer. This allows operators to process non-HF weldable materials, such as Polypropylene (PP) or Polyethylene (PE)-based polymers, without requiring a separate machine.
Weld Enhancement: The integrated heating capabilities further support the efficiency of HF welding for notoriously difficult materials like PET and certain TPUs, ensuring robust, high-strength seams.

Advanced Digital Control and Connectivity

Precision and repeatability are managed by a state-of-the-art digital control system:

Intuitive HMI: A programmable PLC controls the machine via a vivid 10-inch color touch screen HMI, enabling rapid setup and operation.
Recipe Management: Operators can easily save, sort, and manage hundreds of weld/seam recipes, with simple upload and download functionality via a USB drive for seamless production scalability.
Intelligent Systems: Advanced programming features—including the ATS™ Autotuning System and WCS™ Weld Control Systems—provide the flexibility required for demanding industrial environments.
Remote Ready: A built-in VPN client offers remote diagnostic and support capabilities, ensuring high uptime and service accessibility.

Ideal for High-End Production

The comprehensive suite of options, settings, and integrated safety features position the SIGNA TB as the perfect tool for high-end manufacturing where precision, durability, and strength are paramount to product success.
