What We Do

Process Selection & Design for Weldability

Choose the optimal welding process and design parts for reliable joining from the start.

Tooling/Fixtures & Horns

Tooling design and horn optimization consultation (guidance only; we do not design or manufacture tools/horns).

Parameter Development & Optimization

Analytical and experience-based approach to parameter development and optimization for consistent results.

Validation, Testing & Documentation

Expert review of your validation protocols and documentation for regulatory compliance consultation.

Troubleshooting & Failure Analysis

Root cause analysis and corrective actions for welding failures and quality issues.

Launch & Scale-Up Support

Smooth transition from prototype to production with ongoing technical support.

Process Expertise

Deep knowledge across all major plastic welding technologies, with proven methodologies for each process. Included but not limited to:

Ultrasonic
When to Use

small to medium parts within stringent geometry constraints

Typical Joints

energy director, shear joint, tongue and groove

Common Failures

cracking of small features, incomplete or inconsistent welds, flash

Material Considerations

softer polymers (PP, PE, TPU) may not be weldable in all configurations

Laser
When to Use

precision applications

Typical Joints

flat-to-flat, sometimes with a raised rib

Common Failures

incomplete penetration, degradation, uneven thickness

Material Considerations

optical clarity is critical; may be inconsistent in semi-crystalline polymers

Vibration
When to Use

large parts where short cycle times are needed

Typical Joints

raised ribs with or without flash traps

Common Failures

deformation (esp. thin walls), particulate

Material Considerations

not suited for materials with low surface friction (e.g., PTFE)

Hot-Plate
When to Use

large assemblies where vibration is not appropriate due to cost or geometry

Typical Joints

butt joints, typically without flash traps

Common Failures

uneven heating, degradation, sticking to the tool

Material Considerations

polymers with higher viscosity can be challenging

Spin
When to Use

circular joints, small to medium parts

Typical Joints

shear styles

Common Failures

deformation of the joint, particulate

Material Considerations

not suited for polymers with low surface friction (e.g., PTFE)

Radiofrequency
When to Use

thin films and fabrics

Typical Joints

no special joints are used

Common Failures

tearing, pinholes

Material Considerations

polymers must be dielectric for this process

Risk assessment, process selection, and detailed test plan development with clear success criteria and timeline.

3

Prototyping & Optimization

Systematic parameter development using an analytical and experience-based approach to optimize process variables and validate performance.

4

Validation & Hand-off

Final validation testing, documentation package, and knowledge transfer to ensure successful production launch.

Case Study Snapshots

Real-world examples of how we've helped manufacturers overcome complex plastic welding challenges.

Medical Device Hermetic Sealing

Problem

Inconsistent ultrasonic hermetic seals (15% rejects).

Approach

Reviewed horn design, geometry, and parameter interactions.

Result

<1% rejects, ~$200k scrap savings; compliance risk reduced.

Automotive Filter Housing Scale-Up

Problem

Prototype success couldn't translate to high-volume.

Approach

Analyzed tooling variation, improved process control, recommended fixture changes.

Result

99.5% first-pass yield, 20% cycle time reduction, 500k+ units/year launch.

Electronics Enclosure Laser Welding

Problem

Invisible, strong welds on transparent lenses to opaque housings.

Approach

Developed parameters for optical performance; recommended joint design for stress distribution.

Result

40% higher strength vs. adhesive bonding.
