Sonobond: Ultrasonic Bonding Technology Meets Tough Standards


West Chester, PA — Meeting tough NIJ standards for reliable body armor assembly, Sonobond’s SeamMaster®


High Profile Ultrasonic Sewing Ma-


chine is the obvious choice for sealing the outer nylon shell of body armor. Its rotary system seals and trims in one quick step, making assembly up to four times faster than with conventional sewing machines and 10 times faster than adhesive meth- ods. Some manufacturers have increased produc- tion output by as much as 25 percent since switch- ing from sewing and adhesives machines to ultra- sonic bonding technology. The SeamMaster operates like a traditional


sewing machine so only minimal training is re- quired. It is also available as a modular unit for in- tegration into production lines. A second machine that’s useful for body


armor assembly is Sonobond’s Ultra- sonic PlungeBonder™. It is especial- ly suitable for attaching coated syn-

(APP) is introducing the Saf-D- 300, designed specifically for


single-phase AC applications requir- ing higher voltages, smaller size, and- expanded current carrying capability. Saf-D-Grid 300 builds upon the per- formance of the 400VDC Saf-D-Grid connector, using the same silver-plat- ed, pure copper contact system and durable thermoplastic nsulators. Con- figurations allow up to 30A and 300V within the same panel cutout as IEC 60320 C13/C14 connectors. Offerings include separate me-


chanical keys for 10A and 20Aconfig- urations which prevent accidental overloading of wires notrated to carry the current. A future 30A key expands

thetic straps within the seam of a ballistic vest’s outer shell without compromising its integrity, again ensuring the vest’s ability to satisfy NIJ sub- mersion standards. The machine can easily attach straps at a rate of five vests per minute. Sonobond offers a free, no-obligation ultra-


sonic bonding viability test, using materials sup- plied by potential customers, to ensure that its ul- trasonic equipment meets the requirements of spe- cific applications. Also, Sonobond provides techni- cal expertise and quality service, assisting cus- tomers with questions, customization needs, in-

the powerhanding capabilities to 140 percent of comparably sized IEC- connectors, in a size 80 percent small- er than NEMA connectors with simi- lar power handling capabilities. Saf-D-Grid 300 also offers a


higher operating temperature than IEC or NEMA connectors which are limited by use of brass contacts. The maximum operating temperature of 80°C makes Saf-D-Grid ideal forpow- er supplies where the hot exhaust is directed onto the powerinlet connec- tor. The receptacle housing is con- structed of hightemperature glass- filled nylon allowing it to operate in- temperatures of up to 120°C. Both the plug and receptacle


side are touch-safe to maximize oper- ator safety at hazardous voltages. The integral latch on the plug hous- ing prevents accidental disconnect of power without the need for added ac- cessories. An optional ground-tied shield is available to minimize the


EMI profile of power supplies. Contact: Anderson Power Prod- ucts, 13 Pratts Junction Rd.,
