SeamMaster® High Profile Ultrasonic Sewing Machine

The Sonobond SeamMaster^® provides rapid sealing, sewing, and trimming of synthetic fabrics without thread, glue, or other consumables. Although similar in appearance and operation to traditional sewing machines, the SeamMaster^® high profile bonder has a higher clearance between the wheel and the horn, making it ideal for hand-guided applications with tight tolerances, or when working around curves. Ultrasonic bonding with the SeamMaster^® bonder eliminates needle and thread breakage, thread color changeover and thread unraveling problems. And with production speeds up to 4 times faster than sewing, heat sealing and adhesive machines, the SeamMaster^® bonder is highly cost-effective.

Sonobond’s SeamMaster^® high profile bonder is designed for specialized applications in the textile, apparel and engineered fabrics industries. A variety of interchangeable pattern rollers are available for slitting, embossing, and “stitching,” as well as custom pattern wheels designed by Sonobond engineers. The SeamMaster^® bonder performs in one quick pass saving time, labor, and material. Seams bonded by Sonobond’s SeamMaster^® bonder are so perfectly fused and sealed that they can be used to help comply with OSHA’s regulations for barrier seams.

Product Details

Features

Versatile, general purpose machine operates just like a traditional sewing machine
Features a large pattern wheel and high clearance above the bench for bulky materials and hand-guided operations
Virtually eliminates fraying or unraveling of bonded edges and seams
Requires minimal training to operate
Seals the inner shell of body armor. This enables the armor, with ballistic-resistant materials inside, to pass the current National Institute of Justice (NIJ) submersion tests. Per NIJ 0101.06, wet conditioning standards now require protection from submersion for 30 minutes rather than protection from a spray shower.

Applications

Sonobond’s ultrasonic sewing machines bond fabrics that are synthetic, blends containing up to 40% natural materials, and nonwovens. They create ultrasonic fabric bonds that are strong, regulatory-compliant, and fully sealed. Applications include:

General purpose sewing
Lacing and quilting
Filters
Medical disposables
Cuffs and sleeves
Ribbons and trims
Ballistic vests and body armor
And much more

The first SeamMaster® Ultrasonic Sewing Machine was introduced in October 1991 to meet demands for safer medical garments and disposable items. It has since been awarded trademark registration for its use of high-frequency vibratory waves that produce secure barrier seams and bonded edges without stitch holes, glue gaps, fraying or unraveling.
