SonoWeld® 1600 Ultrasonic Metal Spot Welder

The SonoWeld® 1600 Series is is a user-friendly, microprocessor-controlled ultrasonic metal welding system offering unique, multi-function capabilities. It produces strong, repeatably accurate spot welds and wire-to-terminal welds—even when metals are oxidized or tinned—in a single pulse and without pre-cleaning. It can also weld multiple layers and/or delicate foils to tabs or terminals, making it ideal for lithium-ion and NiMH battery assembly.
With a microprocessor built into the power supply, SonoWeld equipment can store and recall up to 250 weld protocols. Available in 1,500- and 2,500-watt models, each unit features an RS232 port for transferring weld data to a computer. The microprocessor also provides automatic control monitoring, detecting when variables exceed preset power and time limits or when part height differs from the original setting. Additionally, it detects and prevents both wrong-part and no-part welding.
The SonoWeld bonder creates ultra-reliable, solid-state metallurgical bonds without the need for heat, current, fluxes, or fillers. Each welder includes a welding head, the exclusive Wedge-Reed System, and an easily removable, replaceable Taper Lock Tip. Sonobond also custom-designs tooling to meet each customer’s specific requirements.

Features
- Performs spot welds, as well as wire-to-terminal welding
- Welds multiple layers of anode and cathode foils – as thin as seven microns – without tearing – to battery tabs and terminals for lithium-ion and NiMH batteries. These batteries are used in electric vehicles, charging stations, and high-capacity energy storage batteries.
- Joins up to 10 stranded wires from flat flexible circuit to multi-connection terminals in a single pulse
- Uniquely joins metals that are oxidized or tinned – in just one pulse and without pre-cleaning – using our exclusive, patented Wedge-Reed System
- Microprocessor controller recalls up to 250 weld protocols, can weld by time, energy or height* and provides automatic frequency control and overload protection
- Outputs 1,500 or 2,500 watts of power to weld non-ferrous similar or dissimilar metal assemblies, including copper to aluminum
* Pre-weld and post-weld height measurements are available when machine is equipped with our Advanced HMI
