Applications are evaluated individually to determine the correct fixture type. Contact Trinetics Group for a free analysis of your ultrasonic application.

What are the tuning ranges in ultrasonic welding?

Jul 29, 2019 by James Stern 0 comments

Ultrasonic stack components are designed to be tuned to a specific frequency. There is an allowable range at each frequency.

What is amplitude in ultrasonic welding?

Jul 29, 2019 by James Stern 0 comments

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.

Gluing or Solvent Bonding of Plastics

Jul 29, 2019 by James Stern 0 comments

Solvent bonding involves coating plastics together with a solvent and clamping them together. The solvent softens the plastic and when it evaporates the plastics are bonded together, but the bond is not homogenous.

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.

Welding Amorphous vs. Semi-Crystalline Plastics

Jul 29, 2019 by James Stern 0 comments

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.
