June, 2018 Sonobond Offers Dual-Head Ultrasonic Spot Welder


West Chester, PA — Automotive component manufacturers now have a reliable, environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution for assem- bling high-voltage terminals used for energy storage in electric and hybrid vehicles. Sonobond Ultrasonics’ dual- head spot welder, equipped with spe- cial tooling, can weld heavy wires up to 1.24 in.2 (8 cm2), without fractur- ing the terminal. This method also achieves a higher-strength weld using lower power than other ultra- sonic welders, resulting in a more durable weld than crimping or sol- dering. Sonobond’s ultrasonic metal


welders require no external heat, fluxes or fillers and produce no arcs, sparks or flames. Welding occurs by employing the company’s patented wedge-reed ultrasonic bonding sys- tem that combines high vibratory force and low-amplitude coupling. Shear-mode vibration is applied


parallel to the welding surface, while the line of force is directly over the parts to be welded. This eliminates bending stress and creates consis- tent, solid-state, highly conductive, metallurgical welds. It also provides the ability to weld lightly tinned and oxidized non-ferrous metals, even without pre-cleaning.


According to the company, the


dual-head spot welder is the first ul- trasonic welder to join up to 100 lay- ers of copper or aluminum foil to bat- tery terminals, without tearing, and in a single pulse. It has a digital dis- play that allows weld control by time, energy or distance (optional). The unit has a power supply with a built- in microprocessor, which offers auto- matic frequency overload protection and storage and recall of up to 250 protocols. The welder comes equipped


with heat-treated tool steel taper lock tips. These tips can perform up to 30,000 welds before redressing
