- the magnitude of the resulting oscillation amplitude is influenced by the output amplitude provided by the transducer and the respective gain by the transformation piece as well as the sonotrode itself.
- the ultrasonic vibrated sonotrode then transmits the ultrasonic vibration under pressure to one of the two sheets of material to be joined. If the material sheets to be joined come into contact with each other between the two material sheets, in the so-called joining or welding zone, they cause boundary surface friction and thus local heating of the boundary surfaces. If the heating is so great that the interfaces melt, welding of the two material sheets occurs. Through the sonotrode, the two sheets of material are pressed together during welding. Ultrasonic welding allows the creation of a welded joint with a short welding time, as the welding energy is limited to almost the joining zone.
