Ultrasonic Tooling

Ultrasonic Horns made of different materials to provide the best solution for your welding application

Titanium is generally the preferred material for horns because it provides good fatigue strength, excellent acoustic properties and good surface hardness. Horns made by aluminum have excellent acoustic properties and are cost effective, mostly used for prototype horns or for horns requiring complex machining. Hardened steel horns are used for applications that cause severe wear and tear such as metal insertion, glass filled parts, and plunge cutting applications.

Various Plating to protect the horns

Chrome plating to seal aluminum horns to prevent oxidation, tungsten carbide coating for titanium horns to reduce wear & tear from glass reinforced material, TiN (Titanium Nitrate) used to coat food cutting horns to prevent wear and tear from abrasive material.

Slotted Horns to improve performance

Slots, in effect, break large horns into smaller, individual horns, to ensure uniform amplitude on the horn face and reduce internal stresses that may cause the horn to fail.

Overview

Ultrasonic tooling (i.e., horns and fixtures) is a critical element in the plastics assembly process. Ultrasonic horns and fixtures must be designed to accommodate the requirements of a particular application. Applying the practices of a documented work process, Dukane’s highly skilled ultrasonic tooling engineers use the latest technology to design and manufacture durable, dependable horns and fixtures that can be used with Dukane plastics assembly equipment, as well as competitive equipment. Ultrasonic tooling engineers consider factors related to materials, engineering, and labor in the early design stage. Application specifics such as size, shape, material, function, etc., are all evaluated.
