Stronger Plastic with Ultrasonics

When your plastic parts have to be joined, ultrasonic welding is an effective choice to create a secure bond. Ultrasonic welding utilizes the power of high-frequency ultrasonic acoustic vibration to create enough pressure between two pieces to weld them together.

With ultrasonic welding, you can achieve the plastic piece you want with the added benefit of:

  • A reliable, tight connection that’s visually appealing
  • Consistent quality because of the precise process
  • Fast processing times due to automation and zero drying time
  • Lower production costs since additional components like adhesives or fasteners aren’t needed

Ultrasonic welding is commonly used to join smaller thermoplastic parts for a variety of industries, including automotive, medical, food and packaging.
