In the world of Radio Frequency… well any technology utilizing RF energy designers need to be aware of deisn of their circuit. In my particular niche of this field tooling and applications are the most difficult to delve into. Generally tool makers design tooling to seal a package or bond a swimming pool liner to any of the hundreds of applications this technology fufills. Unforunately tool and die manufacturers don’t have the specific experiences to consider the unique techniques to be mindful of in tooling design. 

Above is one such truth of RF energy. energy will be highly concentrated at sharp cormers as compared to radius corners, Overwelding in areas and premature arcing prior to the completed weld is very common. 

This service call cost the client nearly $3000 for a missing nut. Let me help you help yourself SAFELY

Many times we are able to diagnose and even help talented maintenance technician isolate and repair their equipment via phone. this particular client was very uncertain of and as they tinkered for several days on their own prior to calling for help management was beating the war drums to get this equipment up and running. 

Upon arrival I linterviewed what were the symptoms, what might have been changed piror to the equipment failure. With no clues I looked at the overall condition of the equipment and it appeared clean and maintained so I took a couple of measurments to see if the re were any clue to the failure. Finding an open circuit on the grid resistance circuit I o

My journey leading a polish kid from Long Island NY to Indiana is quite the journey, I’ve been and I suppose will always be a student,  and, my teachers are many and varied Bryan Burgess was a friend, colleague and minion in the world of Radio Frequency technology. Sadly his journey continues without me as he passed away in January 2024. 

In the realm of manufacturing, precision and reliability are paramount. Every component of the production process must seamlessly integrate to ensure quality output. Among the array of technologies enhancing manufacturing efficiency, Radio Frequency (RF) welding stands as a cornerstone, providing swift and durable solutions across various industries.

However, like any sophisticated machinery, RF welding equipment demands meticulous attention to maintenance, repair, and installation procedures to maximize its lifespan and efficacy. In this blog post, we delve into the intricacies of handling RF welding equipment, offering insights into effective repair and installation practices. It is ALWAYS best to contact qualified and experienced technicians. The voltages produced within this
