2.2.8 Tip Nut (Replaceable Tip Tooling)
The tip nut is made of titanium and is designed to securely clamp the tip onto the horn.
The horn welding-tip/ tip-nut assembly is an efficient system for transmitting ultrasonic
vibration to the parts to be welded and offers an interchangeable tool at a low cost.
2.2.9 Anvil
The anvil is made of high grade tool steel and coated for maximum wear and corrosion
resistance. The tool design allows it to be rotated to present multiple weld surfaces.
2.2.10 Actuator
The ultrasonic stack is mounted into a steel polar block and securely clamped in place. The
polar block is mounted to a linear bearing which provides precise vertical travel of the
stack assembly, while providing excellent rigidity to resist any loss of ultrasonic energy in
the horizontal direction of sonic vibrations. See Figure 2.2
.
2.2.11 Application Tooling
Application tooling is designed and manufactured to position and weld component
materials to meet customer specifications. Application tooling typically consists of a horn/
tip nut, anvil, anvil clamp, anvil holder, and tool support (see Figure 2.2
).
