The Task

To design an ultrasonic plastic welding system to weld the tail light assembly.

The Solution

In this case, the task was completed by designing a system having a special quick tool changing mechanism (cassette type), a winder-unwinder arrangement to locate the item which is to be welded and a dedicated horn-fixture arrangement to weld the tail light assembly.

The Advantages

• Very short tool change over time
• Short cycle time
• Strong welds
• No damage cause to the surface finish
