Creating a Second, Larger Welder: Sonobond then built a second, bigger C-frame to accommodate even larger automotive parts. This second model, the WeldMaster C-Frame II, has two ultrasonic heads. One head powers the welding tip, while the other head powers the anvil. Ultrasonic vibration is introduced from both sides of the weldment.
This reduces the weld energy and weld time required in making a weld to about half that needed for a single head. It also dramatically reduces the tendency towards tip sticking of aluminum parts, as well as deformation of the part welded.
Devine says, “To the best of our knowledge, Sonobond is the only manufacturer of ultrasonic metal welders that has found a way to virtually eliminate the problem of tip sticking. We are very excited about the potential of these two C-frame spot welders. We strongly encourage plant managers, production engineers, and others to contact us for more information about the viability of the WeldMaster C-Frame I and the WeldMaster C-Frame II for their specific applications.”
Each of the new spot welders is supplied with Sonobond's microprocessor-controlled 2500 watt power supply. The units can be bench mounted or adapted for robot operation.
Ultrasonic Welding: In ultrasonic welding, high frequency ultrasonic energy is directed via a welding tip to the surfaces of the metals to be welded. The energy disperses the oxides and surface films between the work pieces to create a true metallurgical bond without melting the materials. Ultrasonic welding is environmentally friendly, produces no waste, and is economical to use.
Sonobond is a worldwide leader in the application of ultrasonic welding and bonding technology. In 1960 Sonobond, then known as Aeroprojects, received the first patent ever awarded for ultrasonic metal welding. Sonobond manufactures a complete line of ultrasonic bonding and welding equipment for a wide variety of customers in the automotive, appliance, electrical, HVAC, aerospace, filtration, medical, and apparel industries.
