Ultrasonic welding now supplements the sizable moulding and in-house tool manufacturing facility at Toolcraft Plastics offering customers optimum economy of manufacture.
Ultrasonic welding now supplements the sizable moulding and in-house tool manufacturing facility at Toolcraft Plastics offering customers optimum economy of manufacture From time to time ultrasonic welding of two simple parts, rather than making complex tooling to produce one component, presents economies
Component design however is critical for a reliable weld.
On this float, Toolcraft Plastics made some essential changes before component parts could be welded successfully, but once the part is designed for ultrasonic welding, a clean reliable joint can be made without any major disfiguration or change in shape.
