During spot welding, the horn tip penetrates through the top sheet and enters
the bottom sheet to a depth of one half the top sheet thickness. The displaced
molten plastic is shaped by a cavity in the tip to create an annular formation
around the weld. Simultaneously, the molten plastic displaced from the
second sheet flows into the preheated area and forms a permanent molecular
bond. Large thermoplastic parts and applications with hard to reach joining
surfaces can easily be welded together using an ultrasonic spot welder and
standard replaceable tips.
