Application groups

Drive components

Tightness, pressure and burst resistance, and unrestricted functionality: ultrasonic welding fulfills these requirements for vehicle components in the engine compartment. In filter applications, the filter material must be reliably embedded and the weld must be resistant to both heat and cold.

The requirements for lithium-ion batteriesbattery management systems and wire harnesses are high tensile strength, durable process stability, minimal rejects and low heat exposure zone.

 

Functional components

Complete functionality, without restriction, of integrated functional elements is ensured in ultrasonic welding of such components. What is more, 100% control and documentation of weld process parameters is guaranteed. Using ultrasonics it is also possible to punch and weld membranes within a single machine cycle.  These membranes typically serve as pressure balancing elements (DAE) in sealed assemblies that must withstand temperature variations while maintaining a liquid-tight seal.

Exterior and lights

Strength, tightness, dimensional accuracy flawless cosmetic appearance are typical requirements of these assemblies. Ultrasonic welding is a low-stress process for components and its versatility makes complex component geometries possible.

Interior

Ultrasonics is not only suitable for automotive plastic welding, but also for joining plastics and other materials, such as metal, or wood Through custom sonotrode designs and clever positioning, it is also possible to realize particularly demanding joining tasks, such as welding of large instrument clusters. Brilliant surface finish and precise gap control is achieved.
