Ideally, in ultrasonic welding the area where the horn contacts the part should be as close to the part joint as possible. However, at times, odd-shaped and sized parts prevent a half-wave horn from contacting the part where needed or developing sufficient amplitude to weld the application. In these situations, the answer is to use… Continue Reading Composite Horn – Ultrasonic Welding

Improve your Vibration Welding Process with these Quick Tricks and Tips: Get consistent weld quality with Weld by Distance mode, the only closed-loop welding method. Even if the weld force, amplitude, or the surface area of weld changes due to inconsistent part molding or design gap, the machine welds by the same distance. If the… Continue Reading Quick Tips and Tricks – Vibration Welding Process

Eliminate particulate from your welding process and produce cleaner plastic parts with stronger welds and better aesthetics by using technologies designed to heat plastic parts and create a molecular bond between two pieces without generating any particles during the process. What do you get? Stronger welds by using contact less and targeted heat sources to… Continue Reading Emerging Technologies: An Introduction to Particulate Free Welding

Clean, fast, well suited for joining large parts, and the ability to produce high-quality joints without fasteners or adhesives are few of the many benefits that make vibration welding a popular joining method for manufacturers producing plastic parts for automotive, appliances, home improvement, and several other industries. Flexibility to join a variety of plastic parts:… Continue Reading Key Advantages of Vibration Welding

A Medical Device company specialized in developing optimized solutions for organ, tissue and cell preservation and perfusion to support life-saving transplantations, is utilizing a servo ultrasonic welding system to assemble tiny caps on disposable sensors. These polycarbonate disposable sensors monitor pH and gas in the artificial blood during ex vivo assessment and evaluation. Three thin… Continue Reading Medical Device Manufacturer Boosts Efficiency with Servo Ultrasonic Welding

The ultrasonic “stack” is made up of three components: the transducer, booster and ultrasonic horn. The quality of the mating surfaces between these three units will have a major impact on the operating efficiency of your ultrasonic welding equipment. If they are not flat, if they become corroded or they make poor contact, they become… Continue Reading Reconditioning the Ultrasonic “Stack”
