Ultrasonic Welding

The advantages of using ultrasonic welding are: 1) No consumables 2) Fast cycle times 3) Very accurate 4) Highly repeatable 5) Versatile equipment 6) Parts are easily recycled 7) Environmentally safe

As the frequency increases, vibration amplitude typically decreases. There are three advantages of using a higher frequency for Ultrasonic welding.

There are several different ultrasonic frequencies that can be used for plastic welding. The frequency is usually determined by the specific application.

There are several types of ultrasonic systems that are available. For more information on any of these systems please contact us.

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.

An energy director is a design feature used in ultrasonic welding to facilitate the welding process by focusing and directing...

Frequency within the scope of ultrasonic welding refers to the number of vibrations per second that the ultrasonic stack can produce.

Hertz or Hz in ultrasonic welding refers to the number of cycles per second. Ultrasonic waves are measured in kHz (kilohertz) or thousands of cycles per second.

Amorphous vs. Semi-crystalline are two types of plastics that should bear full scrutiny and research early on in the product design phase, which will avoid costly pitfalls once you get to the manufacturing process.

Amplitude is one of the most important variables within any ultrasonic application. The amplitude created by a system is a factor of the hardware of that system.

The decision to use either Thermoset Plastics or Thermoplastics is not as simple as it seems when it comes to ultrasonic welding of plastic parts.
