Sonotrodes - Import export

Our Sonotrodes are always designed for a specific customer or application using FEM (finite elements method). Usually made from Titanium, we manufacture the correctly shaped blade like arrow heads, sickles, punch or X-Sonotrodes, for each application. For ultrasonic punch applications, we also provide the matching die or counter piece to each punch Sonotrode.

Weber uses FEM (finite elements method) to design Cutting Sonotrodes specifically for a customer or an application. These Cutting Sonotrodes are made from high-grade materials like Aluminum alloy, Titanium or sintered steel. Cutting Sonotrodes for the food industry are manufactured to precisely meet the required hygiene standards.

The product innovation for continuous cutting: Ultrasonically enhanced cutting tools require less energy and shorter set-up times. They are especially suited for robot applications and use in the food industry.

The optimum oscillation behavior of the ultrasonic sonotrodes is determined by means of FEM (Finite Element Method) calculation. Highest precision requirements in terms of CAD/CAM calculation algorithms guarantee precise 3D contours for sonotrode manufacturing. Measuring and documentation of the amplitude distribution is performed at the vibrating sonotrode using state-of-the-art laser measurement technology. Special surface finishings result in even longer service life spans of the ultrasonic sonotrodes.

In ultrasonic systems, the sonotrode transmits the mechanical vibration of the converter and booster to the relevant workpiece, thus completing the oscillation system. The sonotrode, just as the booster, can additionally increase or decrease the amplitude of the system through a corresponding geometry. Depending on your application and/or the material that needs to be processed, we can design the sonotrode in a way that optimal results will be achieved. soniKKs sonotrodes are usually made of highquality titanium or steel, which is also approved for aerospace. Titanium retains its positive properties even under high temperatures. It has an exceptionally high corrosion resistance and ranks among the light metals thanks to its light weight. We are happy to match our sonotrodes in terms of form and material to your specific needs.

The ultrasonic riveting makes possible an interlocking bonding of two thermoplastics or of thermoplastics with dissimilar materials, e. g. thermoset materials or metals. In this process the sonotrode serves as a re-forming tool. It determines the forming of the riveting pin. During the holding time (cooling phase) the sonotrode serves also as fixation stamp, thus the melted material cools down under pressure.
