Overview

RF Welding Operator is responsible for following work instructions and process procedures to weld (attach) various cut shaped panels together to make either the final product or a sub-assembly of a final product. The process is commonly known as Radio-frequency Heat sealing, High Frequency Heat sealing, or Dielectric Heat sealing. The welding operation begins with the application of pressure applied to the parts to be joined for a specified time while pressure from the electrodes is maintained. Dielectric heating causes the parts that are in intimate contact to melt, and the liquid polymers diffuse into each other at the interface. Solidification of the joint occurs while pressure is maintained for a specified time. After a short cooling period the parts are removed.
