 FAQ / Tips

Q1: Which frequency is suitable for small medical parts?

A1: Small components like diagnostic cartridges usually use 20kHz for precise, strong welds, 

while larger housings may use 15kHz or higher-power models.

Q2: What types of plastics are compatible?

A2: Thermoplastics like ABS, PP, PC, and medical-grade plastics can be welded. 

Filled plastics may need special tuning.

Q3: How does ultrasonic welding compare to hot plate or adhesive methods?

A3: Ultrasonic welding is faster, cleaner, and produces stronger joints without adhesives or heat damage.

Q4: Can ultrasonic welding be used for disposable medical devices?

A4: Yes, it is ideal for single-use devices, ensuring clean, repeatable, and reliable welds without contamination.

Q5: What are typical cycle times?

A5: Cycle times are usually 1–3 seconds per joint depending on material and thickness.
