INTRODUCTION
The model P100 is a portable 40 kHz, 100 watt,
hand held ultrasonic welder used for plastics
assembly. It consists of an ultrasonic power
supply and a hand gun. These units are
designed specifically for welding, staking,
and spot welding applications.
OVERVIEW OF ULTRASONIC
WELDING SYSTEM
What is Ultrasonics?
Ultrasonics refers to vibrational waves with a
frequency above the human audible range which
is usually above 18,000 cycles per second (Hz).
Ultrasonic Welding
The basic principle of ultrasonic assembly involves
conversion of high frequency electrical energy to
high frequency mechanical energy in the form of
reciprocating vertical motion which, when applied
to a thermoplastic, generates frictional heat at the
plastic/plastic interface. In ultrasonic welding, this
frictional heat melts the plastic, allowing the two
surfaces to fuse together; in ultrasonic staking or
insertion, the controlled flow of molten plastic is
used to capture or lock another material in place.
Ultrasonic Hand-held Welders
Ultrasonic hand-held welders are generally
composed of the following major elements: a
power supply, hand gun (converter), and horn as
detailed in the diagram on the next page. A review
of this diagram will help you understand the basic
elements involved in the assembly process and
their relation to each other.
