Ultrasonically Weld Non-ferrous and Dissimilar Metals
Sonobond Ultrasonics' SonoWeld® and SpliceRite™ ultrasonic metal welders weld without heat, current or consumables. They create solid-state metallurgical bonds quickly, efficiently and cleanly with repeatable accuracy. Long-lasting, quick-change steel taper lock tips perform up to 100,000 durable, dependable welds.

- Overview, features and specifications of our SonoWeld® 1600 - The SonoWeld® 1600 microprocessor-controlled welder performs spot welding of sheet to sheet and wire-to-terminal welds, including copper alloys, aluminum and tin-coated wires. Its system stores and recalls up to 250 weld protocols, and features automatic recall and setup of weld parameters by time, total energy or final weld thickness.
- The SonoWeld® 1600 is also the choice of battery manufacturers who require a fast, reliable method for spot welding multiple layers and/or delicate foils. It spot welds dissimilar metals to tabs or terminals, accommodating copper, aluminum, nickel and other non-ferrous metals. The ultrasonic bond has greater weld strength and electrical conductivity than bonds created by conductive adhesives. More information…
In addition to its metal welders, Sonobond Ultrasonics produces custom-engineered ultrasonic bonders for a variety of other assembly applications.
- Sonobond's Ultrasonic Photovoltaic (PV) Modular System - The world's leading manufacturers of photovoltaic panels use Sonobond's Ultrasonic Photovoltaic (PV) Modular System for welding aluminum interconnects between photovoltaic cells. The ultrasonic welding process is neat, clean and economical, requiring no heat, fluxes, fillers, tapes or other consumables. It creates an ultra-reliable solid-state metallurgical bond without cracking the glass panels in photovoltaic cells.
- Filter Assembly Applications - Sonobond also has ultrasonic bonders that are ideal for filter assembly applications. Since they use no consumables, such as glue, thread or needles, they eliminate glue gaps and perforations, ensuring filter-trapping abilities.
- The RingMaster™ and Filter Collar Bonder™ - attach rigid plastic collars to nonwoven filter media.
- The SureWeld™ 20 Ultrasonic PlungeBonder™ - seals filter bag ends.

- Body Armor Applications - Nearly every major ballistic vest and body armor manufacturer in the United States uses Sonobond's ultrasonic textile bonders to ensure compliance with the current National Institute of Justice (NIJ) submersion tests.
- The SeamMaster™ High Profile Ultrasonic Bonder - cuts and seals in just one pass, eliminating stitch holes and glue gaps to seal the outer shell of the body armor and protect the ballistic-resistant material on the inside. Per NIJ 0101.06, wet conditioning standards now require protection from submersion for 30 minutes rather than protection from a spray shower.
- The SureWeld™ 20 attaches Velcro® to the outer shell of the vest.
- Medical Disposables Applications - Sonobond's SeamMaster™ ultrasonic sewing machines - provide secure barrier protection, satisfying tough regulatory requirements and protecting medical personnel from potentially hazardous fluids. As easy to use as conventional sewing machines, yet up to four times faster, Sonobond's machines require minimal training.
About Sonobond Ultrasonics:
Sonobond Ultrasonics is a worldwide leader in the application of ultrasonic welding and bonding technology. In 1960, Sonobond, then known as Aeroprojects, received the first patent ever awarded for ultrasonic metal welding. During the intervening 48 years, Sonobond has earned an outstanding reputation for its pioneering work and quality-engineered products. Today, Sonobond manufactures a complete line of ultrasonic welding and bonding equipment for customers in the automotive, appliance, electrical, HVAC, aerospace, filtration, medical, body armor and apparel industries.
