Ultrasonic Welding
With Ultrasonic plastic welding the thermoplastics to be joined use heat generated from a high-frequency mechanical motion that is perpendicular to the surface at a chosen frequency, amplitude and pressure which results in frictional heating. It is accomplished by converting high-frequency electrical energy into high-frequency mechanical motion. That mechanical motion, along with applied force, creates frictional heat at the plastic components' mating surfaces so the plastic material will melt and form a molecular bond between the parts.
Emabond Welding is a Superior Alternative to Ultrasonic WeldingThe Emabond process offers unique advantages when compared to Ultrasonic Welding for example:
- Non-contact process that does not generate particulate or contamination and eliminates risk of marking the A-surface
- Will not physically damage internal components
- Can achieve higher physical strength properties
- Not limited to small parts or small cross sections
- Can join highly filled plastics; e.g. 30% and greater glass filler, talc, other fillers
- Shear joint design offering thinner cross-sections compared to a wider butt weld resulting in improved joint space packaging
- Does not require a tab or boss to weld
- Can join certain dissimilar materials as well as elastomeric materials
- Can join 3D geometries
- Can perform multiple welds simultaneously
- Can be incorporated into a dynamic welding process by moving the part during the welding process
