SonoWeld™ 1600 Ultrasonic Metal Spot Welder

Sonobond’s SonoWeld™ 1600 Series is an easy-to-use, microprocessor-controlled ultrasonic metal welding system that offers unique and multi-function capabilities. It produces strong, repeatably accurate spot welds, as well as wire-to-terminal welds — even if the metals are oxidized or tinned — in just one pulse and without pre-cleaning. It also welds multiple layers and/or delicate foils to tabs or terminals for lithium-ion and NiMH battery assembly. With a microprocessor built into the power supply, SonoWeld™ equipment can store and recall up to 250 weld protocols. Available in 1,500- and 2,500-watt models, each unit has an RS232 port to transfer weld data to a computer. The microprocessor provides automatic control monitoring that detects when variables exceed preset power and time limits, or if a part height is different from that originally set. It also detects and prevents wrong-part or no-part welding. The SonoWeld™ Series creates ultra-reliable, solid-state metallurgical bonds, and operates without the need of heat, current, fluxes or fillers. The welders feature a welding head, the exclusive Wedge-Reed System, and an easily removable and replaceable Taper Lock Tip. Sonobond also custom-designs tooling to meet each customer’s specific needs.
