Plastics Assembly Systems

Ultrasonic

Ultrasonic welding joins plastics by rapidly transmitting ultrasonic energy through a shaped tool or "horn".  This ultrasonic energy, in the form of mechanical vibrations, creates friction between the two plastic parts which, in turn, generates heat to melt and permanently fuse the two parts with one another.  This technique is fast, efficient, and reliable. 

Since no adhesives, solvents or mechanical fasteners are used, ultrasonically welded thermoplastic parts can be readily identified as being recyclable.

The process eliminates employee health risks and added costs associated with the use of adhesives and solvents.

In addition to welding, ultrasonic systems can be used to insert, stake, and spot weld a wide range of materials in various sizes through 15 kHz, 20 kHz or 40 kHz. 

Sonics' systems may be automated to synchronize with a moving assembly line or operated manually at a single station. Special systems can be designed with multiple heads or rotary index tables

These power supplies can be coupled with pneumatic presses or electric stepper motor presses.
