WeldMAX™ Ultrasonic Spot Welder

Sonobond WeldMAX® Model MH-15100 is the industry’s most powerful ultrasonic spot welder, delivering up to 10,000 watts of output power to weld a variety of metal assemblies.

The model MH-15100 produces ultra-reliable, solid-state metallurgical bonds without the use of heat, current, fluxes, filler materials, or other consumables. It creates a welded joint that is strong and highly conductive. And while the welding rate depends on the thickness and type of materials being joined, most operations are completed in less than 3 seconds.

Applications

The MH-15100 consists of a solid-state frequency converter, a welding head, with Sonobond’s unique Wedge-Reed system, and an easily removable and replaceable Taper Lock Tip which vibrates to ultrasonically spot weld the materials. Sonobond custom designs tooling to meet each customer’s specific needs.

The Sonobond WeldMAX Model MH-15100 ultrasonic welder is used for heavy gage wire to wire, or wire to terminal assembly, electrical bus bar fabrication, and other electronic/electrical assemblies even tinned stranded wire assemblies.

Theory of Operation

The WeldMAX MH-15100 uses Sonobond’s unique Wedge-Reed coupling system of high vibratory force and low amplitude to ensure precise, dependable welds. The unit directs high frequency, ultrasonic energy via a welding tip to the surface between the metals to be welded. The vibratory energy disperses the oxides and surface films between the workpieces and creates a true metallurgical weld without melting the materials.
