Super Ultrasonics assembly systems are generally composed of the following major elements: a Generator,Transducer(Converter),Cone(Booster),Horn(Sonotrode),and holding fixtures(Nest).
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 or plastic /metal interface.In ultrasonic welding , this frictional heat melts the plastic,allowing the two surfaces to fuse together.
Ultrasonics refers to vibrational waves with a frequency above the human audible range which is usually above 18,000 cycles per second(HZ).
