COMMON ULTRASONIC WELDING ISSUES AND HOW TO AVOID THEM
Ultrasonic welding is a manufacturing process that joins two different materials (often metal and plastic) – through the application of high-frequency vibrations. This process is widely regarded for its efficiency, consistency and cost-effectiveness, but like many manufacturing processes, issues can arise. Understanding these potential problems before you get started–and knowing how to resolve them–can help…
