Ultrasonic welding of non-ferrous metals has been a proven technology for decades. However, since the early 1980’s, ultrasonic metal welding has dominated the automotive industry, with automotive wire harness manufacturers as the single largest user of the technology.
An Insight Into This Flexible And Powerful Technology: Telsonic has developed four different ultrasonic welding processes, two linear and two torsional, which can be applied to a wide range of both plastic and metal welding applications.

Lightweight construction is set to become an increasingly popular choice as the automotive industry seeks to cut down on weight and save energy while adding more and more functions to vehicles.
Ultrasonic welding has proven its worth in many applications, such as in cable and plug connections for electromobility. However, the technology is continuously developing.
Manufacturing has changed in recent years with many sectors placing a greater emphasis on flexible production, faster product changeover, and smaller batch sizes. This means that manufacturers, and the technologies they use, need to be more agile if they are to meet the changing demands of their customers.
