POWER SUPPLY/GENERATOR – The solid state power supply converts
standard 50/60 Hz electrical power to 20,000, 30,000 or 40,000 Hz (20/30/40
kHz) electrical energy.
CONVERTER – The converter changes the high frequency electrical energy
supplied by the power supply to high frequency mechanical vibrations.
TIP/HORN – The tip/horn is a tuned component of the system which comes
in contact with the parts to be assembled. The tip/horn 1) transfers the
ultrasonic vibrations produced from the converter to the parts being welded,
and 2) applies necessary force to the assembly while the material resolidifies.
AMPLITUDE – The peak to peak excursion of a horn at its output face.
