Improved Precision, Durability, Reliability and Efficiency to Benefit Automotive, Medical Device, Consumer Electronics and Other Industries

(January 29,2004 - NEWTOWN, Conn.) Sonics & Materials, Inc.  announces its development of a new series of durable, high-efficiency, rigid-mount converters for automated and semi-automated ultrasonic
plastics welding applications. The new, rigid-mount converters are available in 30kHz and 40kHz models, with power handling capabilities of up to 1,000 watts. “These new converters eliminate the previous O-ring mount arrangement, giving the user a true reference
in aligning the converter and horn assembly exactly on the weld location,” said Robert Soloff, president. In addition to providing improved precision and accuracy, the rigid-mount converters can tolerate higher
pressures without sustaining damage. Field tests have shown the rigid-mount converter to be extremely durable and reliable, especially versus traditional O-ring mount converters. “There is no O-ring to come loose,” Soloff said. “This should be of particular interest to automotive parts fabricators and others who apply direct force to the back of the converter.” Proprietary assembly methods also allow the converters to operate with high efficiency and extremely low power loss, minimizing heat gain and, in most cases, eliminating the need for air cooling. The new Model CVR233 is available with either a side-mounted, BNCtype electrical connector for use in multi-headed automated systems, or a rear-mounted electrical connector. An acorn-style connector is  provided for converters that are used in a welding press. For more information on Sonics' equipment, custom application engineering assistance, or to reach a representative in your area, please contact Lois Baiad at +203-270-4600 or email lbaiad@sonics.biz.
