Robotic Ultrasonic Welding: Six-axis robots offer flexibility for welding plastic and metal parts

摘要

The Chevrolet Volt is one of the most anticipated vehicles in ages. When the car is produced later this year, robotic ultrasonic welding will play a key role behind the scenes. Interior trim components will be assembled with the technology, which is becoming increasingly popular in the auto industry. Traditionally, dedicated ultrasonic welding equipment has been used to assemble only one type of product at a time. But, in today's high-mix, low-volume environment, manufacturers are demanding more flexibility.
