Ultrasonic energy has been used to join metal materials for decades. In ultrasonic metal welding, dissimilar materials are joined together without the use of applied heat or electric current passing through components.

Ultrasonic energy can weld through contaminants to create a clean seal while providing increased quality and control.

Ultrasonic energy has been used to join thermoplastics for over 70 years. It is frequently chosen when parts are too complex or expensive to be molded in one piece.

In ultrasonic plastic welding, a vibratory motion at the horn face (amplitude) is transferred to the part. The vibrations move through the part and create friction at the interface between the parts, creating heat, then melting. When cooled, a weld is formed.
