There are different ways to join the same type of plastics or to even provide seams or joins in different types of plastics. In some situations, the plastics may be joined using a type of adhesive, but this is the least reliable type of join that typically provides a weak bond between the two surfaces.
A more effective option and one that is quick, reliable and provides a precise join to an area of any size. Used most commonly on thermoplastics, the choice of ultrasonic welding services is cost effective and allows for rapid production of even complicated shapes of products.
No Other Fasteners Needed
The choice of ultrasonic welding services helps to reduce the cost of production as there are no additional materials required. Instead, the ultrasonic energy and the pressure produced through the machine is all that is needed to melt instantly, press and bond the two thermoplastics together.
As this is a fusion of both materials and not just one material attached to another, the seam created is as strong or stronger than both thermoplastics. There is also no chance of the seam or join separating, which is essential in many applications.
No Waste
Once the equipment is set up to create the join area, the ultrasonic welding services can be completed automatically and without any waste. This is very different than other types of joining options that may create failures in the join that add to the cost of production.
Thick to Thin
Unlike some options to join plastics, the ultrasonic welding method can be used to bond thick plastics with thin or different thermoplastics. As there is no direct application of heat to melt the base plastics, there is no requirement to have identical plastics as the two materials that are used to create the join.
