ON THE COVER
Thanks to computerized weld modes, medical manufacturers routinely use ultrasonics to weld, insert, or
stake plastics and other parts into a wide range of
medical device assemblies - including wearables -
with the expectation of high consistency and quality.
Popular weld modes optimize welder performance
around a single factor critical to part quality, such as
energy, peak power, distance, or total weld time. To
learn how these modes make real-time performance
monitoring and quality tracking possible, read the article on page 17.
