In ultrasonic welding, a horn (also called a sonotrode) is used to apply high-frequency vibrations to the parts being welded....
Peak to peak value is the measure of amplitude in units of microns. It is the distance from the upper and lower peaks of the ultrasonic wavelength.
A horn to fixture alignment jig is used to speed up set up changes overs and assure horn fixture to the location.
Each application has different amplitude requirements and thus different combinations of boosters and horns are required to achieve the appropriate gain.
Ultrasonic stack components are designed to be tuned to a specific frequency. There is an allowable range at each frequency.
An energy director is a design feature used in ultrasonic welding to facilitate the welding process by focusing and directing...
