Ultrasonic Welding: The Smart Connection Technology
The ultrasonic welding process represents an innovative and technically superior method for joining non-ferrous metals. The materials to be joined are stacked on top of each other and subjected to high-frequency mechanical vibrations under defined, low pressure. The resulting relative movement leads to a local heating of the contact surfaces, creating a permanent, robust, and highly pure connection within fractions of a second. This connection is characterized by excellent electrical properties without significant thermal stress.
A particular advantage of ultrasonic welding is the ability to reliably join heterogeneous material combinations, such as aluminum-copper (Al/Cu) or copper-brass (Cu/Ms), with high mechanical integrity. Compared to conventional joining methods, ultrasonic welding offers significant advantages both in terms of quality and economically. The technology enables extremely short production cycles, low energy consumption, and entirely dispenses with the use of additional materials, making the process particularly resource-efficient and environmentally friendly.

Highest Process Safety Through Integrated Monitoring Systems
Modern ultrasonic welding systems from Schunk are characterized by integrated process monitoring that ensures outstanding process safety as well as high reproducibility of the welded joints. All systems are manufactured in accordance with the current CE guidelines and are subject to comprehensive functional and quality assurance testing procedures. The technology has proven itself under extreme conditions in industrial continuous production worldwide.
Outstanding Electrical Properties and Long-Term Stability
Another decisive advantage of the ultrasonic welding process compared to conventional joining methods like crimping is the extremely low contact resistance, which reduces to nearly zero. This excellent electrical conductivity remains constant even over long periods. While in crimp connections, due to mechanical relaxation and micro-movements within the contact, a slight increase in contact resistance is measurable after several years, ultrasonic welding ensures a permanently homogeneous and metallurgically stable connection. Even after a period of ten years, ultrasonic welded connections show no significant changes in electrical resistance, which is particularly essential in safety-critical applications. The ultrasonic welding process offers significant advantages, including reduced assembly times, minimal electrical contact resistances, and savings in weight and space.
