Tools for All Your Joining Needs
Branson is the worldwide leader in the design, development and manufacturing of plastic and metal joining technologies. Using the industry best practice of Finite Element Analysis, our engineers analyze the most crucial factors to design tooling with the best possible combination of acoustical and mechanical properties.
Branson Horns for Ultrasonic Tooling
BASIC HORNS
For most acoustic tooling applications, these Branson standard horns can be successfully incorporated (right off the shelf) with no modifications needed. They are available in the following configurations: stepped, catenoidal, exponential, rectangular or “bar,” circular (solid or hollow), plus tapped horns with threaded tips.
Tooling for Laser Welding
In our patented laser welding process, laser energy passes through one plastic component and is absorbed by a second, heating and melting both simultaneously. As force is applied, the parts are joined. Used for high-volume applications and to allow more flexible part design.
Tooling for Clean Vibration Technology (CVT)
Clean Vibration Technology combines infrared and vibration processes, offering more options and applications for smart molding-joint design for 3D parts and more. Branson’s innovative technology incorporates localized broadband infrared preheating into the vibration weld tooling.
