Continuous
Seam Welding
The Ultraseam® 20 is the ultimate
metal seam welder – ideal for
continuous welding of aluminum
and copper foils at speeds up to 22
meters per minute. It uses ultrasonic
energy for low cost, clean, and
efficient operation. Tool life can
exceed one million meters of weld.
System Description: The complete

two modules: the power control
system and the weld head. The
power control incorporates a
4,000 Watt, 20 kHz power supply
and a DC motor speed control.
Amplitude is electronically
adjustable to enable welding of
a range of material, thicknesses,
and operating speeds.
The weld head is extremely
rugged and features heavy
duty tapered roller bearings.
A DC motor provides variable
bi-directional speed control.
-20 as shown consists of
A pneumatic cylinder and
pressure regulator permit easy
adjustment of the weld force.
Equipment Features:
• True metallurgic bonds provide
excellent heat transfers.
• All mechanical process - no
electrical current passes through
the work-piece and no melting
occurs.
• Ideal for welding similar or
dissimilar electrical grade alloys
and nonferrous metals of varying
thicknesses.
• Lowest cost per weld compared to
fusion methods for metal joining.
• Superior tool life.
• Welding variables can be precisely
monitored and controlled
providing consistent results
and SPC capabilities.
• Energy efficient.
• Easy to set up and operate.

Optional Equipment
• Rotating anvil assembly for
continuous welding.
• Machine base with drive
mechanism to shuttle the weld
head over a fixtured workpiece.
Process Description
Ultrasonic welding is a mechanical
process. No electrical current nor
thermal energy passes through the
workpiece and no melting occurs.
It is ideal for welding similar or
dissimilar alloys since resistance and
thermal conductivity are not factors.
Non-ferrous metals of different
thicknesses are effectively welded
by this system. The thermal and
electrical properties of the weld are
unrivaled by any other process.
machine’s housing Single point air
and electrical inputs provide simplified
installation and maintenance.

(22 by special order)
Compared to fusion methods of
joining metals, ultrasonic metal
welding provides the lowest cost.
This is achieved through low power
(1/30th that of comparable resistance
welding) and superior tool life.
The Branson metal welding system
is energy efficient and easy to set
up and operate. It requires only
compressed air and a 200-250 V
AC, 20 Amp service.
All power, control, and electrical
equipment is located inside the
