Page 95 Sonobond’s Ultrasonic Welding Meets Marine Standards


West Chester, PA —Sonobond’s ultrasonic technol- ogy now meets American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) standards for electrical systems in marine applications. Marine motors present especially demanding conditions for electrical systems. Constantly exposed to high humidity, their per- formance relies on the protective properties of tin- coated copper wiring. Sonobond’s patented wedge-reed system max-


imizes the effectiveness of ultrasonic metal weld- ing by combining high vibratory force with low vibratory amplitude, directed in a shear mode par- allel to the welding surface, with the line of force directly over the materials being welded. This achieves the high vibratory force required to dis- perse the tin coating and ensure precise and dependable welds without bending stress or stalling and without compromising the conductivi- ty of the copper. Previous assembly methods for tin-coated


wires have included mechanical crimps that were inconsistent, and resistance welding or soldering, which required substantial energy and often produced inadequate bonding. In addi- tion to the effectiveness of the wedge- reed system, Sonobond’s technology is less expensive than resistance weld- ing, uses a fraction of the energy required, eliminates the need for sol- der as needed for RoHS compliance, and can speed up production with min- imal operator training.


TE Intros Terminal Crimp


Sonobond’s ultrasonic wire splicers can


accommodate a range of wire bundle sizes starting at 1 mm2 (0.002 in.2). They can also be custom- tooled to meet specific application requirements. The company’s SpliceRite™ wire splicer unit with 3,500W power supply offers one-pulse wire


splicing of wire bundles up to 60 mm2 (0.1 in.2) and tinned or oxidized wire bundles as large as 35 mm2 (0.05 in.2). The dual-head SpliceRite ultrasonic wire splicer can handle lightly-tinned or oxidized wire to 60 mm2 (0.1 in.2) without pre-cleaning and can weld stranded copper wires as large as 100 mm2 (0.16 in.2) in a single pulse. Both systems have durable tool steel taper


lock tips that can last through 100,000 welds and are easily replaced without requiring recalibra- tion. The machines are also equipped with micro- processors that store and recall protocols for up to


250 welds by height, energy or time. Contact: Sonobond Ultrasonics, 1191

 Applicators


Berwyn, PA — TE has introduced its new OCEAN series of terminal crimp applicators. Designed for increased flexibility, the applicators offer the ability to change between different terminator configurations, allowing customers to adapt quickly to what- ever configuration is needed. The new applicators, with


improved ram alignment, fine adjust crimp height control and other enhancements, are now capable of running wire sizes smaller than 0.35
