The Widest Range of Plastics Joining Solutions

Branson offers several joining technologies without favoring one technique over another. In each application, we review all parameters of the project with you to find the solution that provides the best performance. Deciding factors include product specifications, functional demands, materials used, part size/ geometry, production quantities, automation and overall costs. With our technical expertise, experience with numerous polymers, and

advanced plastics joining equipment, you can be confident in making the right choice.

Following are the processes we offer to meet a wide variety of plastics joining applications.

Ultrasonic Welding

In ultrasonic welding, high-frequency vibrations generate heat at the interface of the parts to be joined, melting the plastic and creating a strong bond. The technique is fast, efficient, non-contaminating and requires no consumables. It produces a clean weld site with highly uniform joint quality, providing exceptional performance, consistency, and reliability. Easily integrated into automated systems, our equipment can be readily customized to fit exact specifications of welded parts.

Ultrasonic welding is well suited for assembling parts with delicate internal electronic components and can be used to insert, stake,

stud weld, degate, or spot weld thermoplastics, and slit or laminate thermoplastic films and fabrics.
