Reliable joining technologies

For the processing of thermoplastic materials such as PP, PC, PA, ABS, PMMA or ASA as well as blends of PP-EPDM, PC/ABS, PC/PBT or composite materials, for example, textile/PUR, slush/PUR/ABS, we rely on innovative ultrasonic technology. For special tasks, infrared, hot plate and hot air technology are also used.

Ultrasonic technology is characterized by excellent properties such as short process times, low energy consumption and high reproducibility of welding and punching results. In addition, ultrasonic can also be used to efficiently and extremely gently process particularly high-quality plastics, such as those frequently found in the automotive industry.

Ultrasonic punching - can be combined with other processes

After ultrasonic welding machines have proven themselves for various applications in the automotive industry, SONOTRONIC has projected the advantages of ultrasonic to punching as well, thus creating new paths. With simultaneous flexibility, the highest possible punching quality is achieved with the patented process using ultrasonic technology. 

Depending on the requirements, we combine processes such as punching, riveting, embossing, gluing, and screwing in one system or develop flexible production lines for fully comprehensive assembly, which are freely configurable due to their modular design.

In the automotive industry in particular, a global service and sales network is of crucial importance. SONOTRONIC is represented worldwide, ensuring fast and flexible response times.

We support you from your idea onwards and advise you with all our experience at the highest technical level. In non-binding consultations and application tests, we will find solutions for your individual applications. We would be pleased to invite you to welding tests and feasibility studies in our laboratory or to visit you directly on site.
