Horns are sometimes referred to as a Sonotrodes. An acoustical tool designed to transfer mechanical vibrations from the transducer-booster assembly directly to the work piece. Depending on the application, there will be different shapes and material designs, these sonotrodes are made from high-grade materials like Aluminum alloy, Titanium or sintered steel for a customer or an application.
The Horn is the part in direct contact with the material to be treated, which further amplifies the vibrations and concentrates this vibrational energy in the working area to generate enough heat to melt the material and achieve various effects such as welding, cutting, cavitation, etc. The design of the Horn is essential to ensure effective energy transfer and concentration, and the Horn is usually custom-designed according to the properties of the material to be treated to ensure optimum energy distribution. Ensure optimal energy distribution, with aluminum, titanium and steel being the main materials used. There are various types of welding heads, cutting heads, cavitation probes and more.
Starting from the principle of ultrasonic plastic welding, Altrasonic Technology conducts intrinsic frequency and modal analysis through the finite element method to design a new type of tooling that meets the functional requirements of effective transmission and uniform distribution of vibration energy. In the design process, we combine the parametric modeling of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for parameter design and adjust the geometry, so that the intrinsic frequency of the tooling matches the ultrasonic frequency, and the corresponding modal amplitude is uniform on the working surface, which reduces the problem of local structural stress concentration, and at the same time, it has a better adaptability to the change of the parameters of the material and the environment. The designed tooling is processed and put into use at one time, avoiding the waste of time and cost caused by repeated trimming of the tooling.
We produce both simple and complicated contours for countless applications, including welding, beading, riveting, sealing, separating, cutting, embossing, punching, and many more. Depending on the application, we use high-quality materials such as aluminium, titanium and wear-resistant steels, which can be thermally treated or specifically coated as required.
We use specialized precision CNC machine to make sonotrodes and use specialized ultrasonic measurement instruments to make sure everything is accurate. We can handle surface treatment and all kinds of contours.
Our sonotrodes are designed based on the Finite Element Analysis(FEA), and therefore guarantee optimum oscillation behaviour and long service life in all cases.
We use high-quality imported aluminum, titanium, and sintered steel as our main materials to meet the needs of various types of ultrasonic applications.
We can produce different types of sonotrodes, such as welding molds, cutting heads, and cavitation probes, to meet the needs of various ultrasonic applications.
