Selecting a manufacturer for #ultrasonic_horns is critical to ensuring quality, performance, and longevity in your #ultrasonic_welding or cutting applications. Here are the top five criteria to consider:

• Material Quality & Expertise
• Engineering & Customization Capabilities
• Manufacturing Precision & Quality Control
• Industry Experience & Application Knowledge

• After-Sales Support & Service

Here is how Futura Automation, LLC Automation with our partner Rinco Ultrasonics USA can support your ultrasonic horn repair and replacement requirements:

• Rework or manufacture any brand of horn – #Branson, #Dukane, #Hermann, #Rinco, #Sonotek, #Telesonic
• Horns in four different frequencies for various applications: 70 kHz / 35 kHz / 30 kHz / 20 kHz
• Customized tool design per customer requirements
• Modern CAM-technology for free-form machining
• Adaptation of the part geometry using 3-D-scanner or mold
• Calculation of the oscillation performance using #FEM-technology

Materials:

• Aluminum alloys
• Titanium alloys
• High alloyed tool steels
• Various surface treatments

Application areas:

• Automotive industry: whether you need to weld plastic components for loudspeakers, air filters or hydrophobic membranes, to name but a few examples, or punch slots in bumpers for parking sensors, weld on parking sensor mounts, or cut and seal non-woven materials
• Textile industry: for cutting with edge sealing, welding, cutting and sealing, roller seam welding, embossing or punching, there are virtually no limits when it comes to seam designs. Ultrasonic textile bonding can even bond dissimilar materials
• Food processing industry: food can be cut quickly and cleanly without deforming the product thanks to ultrasonic technology. Even extremely thin slices can be set with ease using ultrasonic cutting and ultrasonic slicing.
• Packaging Industry:  Product and Bulk bags are often sealed with a thermal process; Ultrasonic sealing is much faster and more accurate than thermal sealing
• Plastics industry: Tools for classical plastics applications (welding, riveting, beading etc.) are produced custom-designed. Particularly the manufacture of composed horns which are used for the assembly of large parts
• Medical Devices: Assembly of components and staking of fasteners for medical devices is very effective with the precision and potential very small horn designs to attach components and seal housings
