Emerson introduced the Branson Polaris Ultrasonic welding platform, a highly configurable, scalable offering designed to meet the evolving demands of modern manufacturing environments. The Polaris platform enables manufacturers to design and implement efficient, application-specific joining offerings through a flexible combination of hardware and software. It supports a wide range of applications, including automotive components, medical devices, consumer electronics, food packaging, textiles and bioplastics. Built to address increasing production complexity and changing regulatory requirements, Polaris offers real-time process control and secure connectivity across the factory floor. The system can integrate with higher-level automation systems, including PLCs, enabling improved operational efficiency, precision, and reliability. The platform consists of modular power supplies, controllers and actuators with varying functionality levels, allowing manufacturers to configure systems tailored to specific production needs. These configurations can range from benchtop systems for development and testing to fully automated, high-throughput production lines. Emerson, discreteautomation.emerson.com, Booth 13054
