Ultrasonic welding
For joining complex injection molded thermoplastic parts, ultrasonic welding equipment can be easily customized to fit the exact specifications of the parts being welded. The parts are sandwiched between a fixed shaped nest and a horn connected to a transducer. When welding plastics, the interface of the two parts is specially designed to focus the direction of the enrgy required to ultrasonically bind the 2 components. The ultrasonic energy melts the point contact between the parts, creating a joint. This process is a good automated alternative to glue, screws, or snap-fit designs. It is typically used with small parts (e.g. cell phones, consumer electronics, disposable medical tools, toys, etc.) but it can be used on large parts as well.
Kamek has extensive experience with design of parts to accommodate Ultrasonic welding, critical placement of energy directors, designs of nests and horns. All are critical to production of a good assembly.
Equipment is also important to quality. Kamek uses state of the art process monitoring to make certain that the welding process is consistent throughout production, from short manual loading runs to fully automated assembly cells.
