Sonobond Ultrasonics is a worldwide leader in the application of ultrasonic bonding and welding technology. In addition to plastics and nonwovens, Sonobond s products bond metals and textiles in a variety of industries, including apparel, appliances, automotive, electrical, electronic, home furnishings, heat, ventilation, air conditioning and medical. The company manufactures a complete line of ultrasonic welding and cutting equipment that is used with nonwovens to assemble a wide range of filters, as well as medical disposables. The units, that are available for both spot and continuous welding applications, cut and seal in one operation and require minimal operator training. The welds can accommodate a number of thicknesses or layers of material and virtually eliminate fraying or beading of bonded edges and seams. In 1960, Sonobond received the first patent for ultrasonic metal welding. Since then, the company has received more than 150 additional patents. These include not only metal welders, but also custom-engineered ultrasonic bonders of all types. Sonobond Ultrasonics corporate office is located in West Chester, Pa.
