High-frequency welding
High-frequency joining technology without seams or adhesives for orthopaedic technical materials
What it is
High-frequency technology (HF/RF) is a joining process that uses electromagnetic energy to fuse thermoplastic materials and technical textiles, creating strong, precise and continuous bonds without the need for external seams or adhesives.
Benefits
- Clean, continuous bonds without seams or perforations.
- High mechanical strength and dimensional stability.
- Greater durability in areas subject to tension and movement.
- More consistent and repeatable production.
- Reduction in manual operations and manufacturing times.
- High-quality technical finishes with an excellent visual appearance.
- Greater design freedom and component integration.
Applications
- Sealed joints in orthopaedic support belts and waistbands.
- Seamless connections in lumbar and back supports.
- Welding in knee, ankle and support products.
- Applications in immobilisers and products with technical reinforcements.
- Integration of additional components such as padding or internal reinforcements.
