ULTRASONIC WELDING: A VERSATILE OPTION
WHY CHOOSE ULTRASONIC WELDING?
Ultrasonic insertion has very low energy requirements, requires little to no cooling time, and uses no consumables. As such, it has broad range of applications and is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution. Ultrasonic Welding is a great replacement for screws, glue, and snap-fit designs, ultimately requiring fewer parts and reducing production times.
The process itself only takes less than one second and can easily be automated for fast, efficient assembly.
Industry Applications
Ultrasonic welding is very useful for the Aerospace industry; when working with highly thermally conductive materials frequently found in Aerospace products, such as aluminum, ultrasonic welding provides quick and reliable assembly without additional consumables.
Ultrasonic welding can be an excellent option for:
- Instrument panels
- Engine components
- Lamps
- Air ducts
- Door panels
Ultrasonic welding is a perfect choice for electrical components as it does not introduce impurities into the weld and is ideal for joining dissimilar materials.
- Sensors
- Transformers and capacitors
- Wire harnesses
- Electrical components
Ultrasonic welding is prominent in the medical industry for its precision. This method is ideal as it allows strict control over tolerances, and does not introduce contaminants or degradation into the weld.
Ultrasonic welding is frequently used in the automotive and industrial automotive industries thanks to the process’s shorter cycle times and flexibility with varied materials.
Typical automotive ultrasonic welding applications include:
- Interior automotive components
- Lighting
- Engine components
