Ultrasonic welder exhibits remarkable control

An ultra-precise welder from Sonics & Materials uses a stepper motor transport that controls the advancing speed and final position of the ultrasonic horn. The new design is said to provide greater dimensional accuracy than conventional pneumatic welders.

Combined with Sonics’ FM power supply and linear feedback encoder, the new press is capable of positioning the welding horn to tolerances of +/-0.0003 in. through a broad range of velocities.
