| A tip is a economical replaceable part commonly
known as an interchangeable device that is tightened onto another component such
as a tapped horn, heated probe or heated tip block. |  |
| Tips for ultrasonic
horns are generally made from titanium and typically designed to perform a specific
function such as: staking or spot welding. Knurled, flat and overweight tips are
also available. Tips for heat based applications are made from highly conductive,
yet durable materials and are also designed to perform specific functions such
as: staking, swaging, insertion, sealing, date-coding and hot knife de-gating. |
Tooling
for Staking, Swaging, Insertion, Sealing, Date Coding and Hot knife De-gating
is commonly mounted to the upper portion of a press and heat is provided by probe
or platen assemblies. Coil wound or cartridge heaters, with thermocouples, supply
maintained heat to the tooling. Tips are commonly mounted to a probe or platen
and are precision machined to produce the desired operation on your application.
PAS utilizes the latest in technologies and finest materials to produce the highest
quality products available. PAS manufactures tooling and supplies replacement
components for all makes and models of machines. If you have a custom-built machine,
call with your mounting dimensions.   
| A horn is an acoustic tool, usually titanium,
aluminum or hardened steel, that transfers vibratory energy
from the ultrasonic welder directly to the parts being
assembled. PAS manufactures quality horns in 15 kHz, 20
kHz, 30 kHz and 40 kHz, all precision machined from high-grade
alloys. |
 |
PAS provides a complete line of standard horns including:
Half & Full Wave, Exponential & Catenoidal, Bar,
Block, Rectangular, Round (High-Gain, Solid, Hollow and
Slotted) as well as custom horns: Knurled and Serrated
Faced, Vacuum, Nodal Plunger, Contoured and Composite. |

| A
converter receives high-frequency electrical energy from the power supply and
converts it into mechanical vibratory energy at ultrasonic frequencies. PAS provides
new and pre-owned converters and also repairs damaged converters of almost every
make and model available. Frequencies include 15 kHz, 20 kHz, 30 kHz and 40 kHz. |  |
|
| A
booster can either increase or decrease the amount of amplitude at the face of
a horn. PAS provides booster horns in several different magnification ratios and
are available in aluminum or titanium, new or pre-owned. Frequencies include 15
kHz, 20 kHz, 30 kHz and 40 kHz. |
| A fixture supports
and aligns the part to be assembled. Generally, it is
fabricated from aluminum or steel and sometimes is lined
with poured cast urethane/epoxy or other resilient materials.
PAS manufactures fixtures from simple machined shapes
to complex CNC contour milled shapes. Additional pneumatic
or manual part clamping/ejection and vacuum/expansion
mechanisms can be integrated into the lower tooling. |
|
|
| Tooling for vibration welding
includes an upper “tuned” drive head and lower fixture. Strong, lightweight
tooling is key for this process. PAS provides custom engineered rugged components
to ensure quality welds. Precision machining is critical to ensure your part is
properly located and supported. Call us for quotes on all makes and models. |  |
Tooling
for spin welding typically includes upper tooling or a “chuck” with
keyed features to drive one half of the assembly against a fixtured or secured
mating part.PAS provides custom drive heads and fixtures for simple designed parts,
to complex parts requiring vacuum and expandable features to lock and drive your
part. Call us for quotes on all makes and models.
| Tooling for hotplate welding is commonly
designed to lock in both parts to be assembled. Applications
where near contact heating is a must, demands precision
holding and support. PAS provides custom tooling for simple
designed parts, to complex parts requiring pneumatic clamping
and moveable supports to lock and locate your part. Call
us for quotes on all makes and models. |
|
Increase the life
of your tooling with the addition of platings or coatings. Several different options
are available including: chrome plating, Teflon hard coating, anodizing, black
oxide, carbide, chemical films, copper, nickel and more.
| Several accessories
are available to increase productivity and achieve higher
part quality. PAS offers the following available options:
film feeders and film, slide tables, hydraulic dampers,
leveling bases, amplitude gauges, sound enclosures, machine
stands, converter vises, torque wrenches, horn studs,
step studs and Mylar washers. |
