Tooling

Sonics provides design and custom machining of tooling and fixtures for ultrasonic plastic welding, vibration welding, and spin welding, as well as multi-element configurations for spot welding, staking and insertion. Tool fabrication materials include aluminum, titanium, hardened steel, stainless steel and cast polyurethanes.

Ultrasonic Horns

• Ultrasonic horns are designed with an FEA (Finite Element Analysis) simulation program that allows our engineers to observe the vibratory action of the horn prior to fabrication
• Segmented and adjustable fixtures are built to ensure a secure fit with the molded plastic parts
• Contoured fixtures and tools for irregularly shaped parts
• Ultrasonic horns are inspected for even amplitude
• For added strength and durability, carbide facing or chrome plating is applied
• Peripheral devices to clamp, hold and align opposing parts are also available
