Hand welders
& spot guns

500 to 1500 W at 20, 35 or 36 kHz — welding, spot welding, riveting and staking anywhere you can reach the joint.

When the part cannot come to the press

Bring the ultrasonics to the job

A press needs the part to fit under a horn on a fixed table. A great many parts do not — a bumper fascia, a door card, a large tank, an assembly already on the line. A hand welder puts the same weld anywhere you can reach.

Frequency choice

20, 35 or 36 kHz

20 kHz — the workhorse

Highest amplitude, carries furthest through a part. Use for thick sections, semi-crystalline resins (PP, PE, nylon) and larger spot welds. Louder, and more aggressive on delicate parts.

35/36 kHz — the gentle option

Lower amplitude, smaller horns, quieter. Use on thin walls, small parts, and assemblies with electronics or other components that would be shaken by 20 kHz.

The rule of thumb

Bigger and softer → lower frequency. Smaller and more delicate → higher frequency. If a part is being damaged at 20 kHz, moving up is usually the fix.

Where they earn their place

Typical uses

Automotive trim & interiors

Spot welding door cards, headliners, wheel arch liners and bumper components on the line.

Large mouldings

Tanks, housings and enclosures too big for any press table.

Riveting & staking in situ

Locking components into an assembly that is already partly built.

Rework & repair

Reworking a failed weld or attaching a replacement part without dismantling the assembly.

Low volume & prototypes

Proving a joint before committing to press tooling.

Textiles & nonwovens

Tacking synthetic fabric, and cutting and sealing in one action.

The trade-off, stated honestly. A hand welder is operator-dependent. Force, dwell and squareness vary with the person holding it, so it will not match a press for repeatability. Where the weld is structural or has to be validated, use a press — or a fixtured hand welder on a stand.

Send us the part, not just the enquiry

Ultrasonic welding is decided by the parts — the resin, the wall, the joint and what the weld has to do. Send photos and drawings through the enquiry form and you get an engineered answer, not a price range.
