WEST CHESTER, Pennsylvania, October 30, 2008 -- Sonobond Ultrasonics announced today that its metal welders continue to offer significant advantages over other brands of ultrasonic welding equipment. Sonobond units use the patented Wedge-Reed coupling system to combine high vibratory force with low amplitude ultrasonics. This results in the most reliable, repeatably accurate welds in the industry. "We are pleased to be able to offer such a broad range of practical, cost-effective ultrasonic metal welding solutions," says Sonobond's vice president, Melissa Alleman. "Our ultrasonic metal welders can be customized to the specific needs of manufacturers. And we back Sonobond technology with superior customer service -- before, during, and after installation."
An example of Sonobond's state-of-the-art technology is the SonoWeld 1600 Digital Metal Spot Welder Series. These units are designed to perform spot welds, wire-to-terminal, and wire-to-wire welding -- all in a single pulse. This microprocessor-controlled system is easy to use and can join multiple layers and/or delicate foils to tabs or terminals for lithium-ion and NiMH battery assembly. The SonoWeld 1600 features a digital display for selecting welding modes by time, total energy, or final weld thickness. These units allow storage and recall of over 250 weld protocols. They are also available with outputs of 1,500 or 2,500 watts of power for welding nonferrous similar or dissimilar metals, including copper to aluminum.
