Abstract
A sonotrode includes multiple layers of a material melted to one another to form a structure. The structure provides a base that has an attachment feature that is configured to operatively secure to an ultrasonic converter. The structure includes a shaft that extends from the base to a terminal end that provides a working surface that is configured to selectively engage a workpiece.
Claims21
A sonotrode comprising:
- multiple layers of a material melted to one another to form a structure, the structure providing a base having an attachment feature configured to operatively secure to an ultrasonic converter, the structure includes a shaft extending from the base to a terminal end providing a working surface configured to selectively engage a workpiece;
- wherein the structure has multiple shafts that include a first shaft extending from the base to a first terminal end providing a first working surface configured to selectively engage a workpiece, and the multiple shafts include a second shaft extending from the base to a second terminal end providing a second working surface configured to selectively engage the workpiece, the first and second shafts are integrally formed with the base from the multiple layers to provide an unbroken, monolithic construction.
A sonotrode comprising:
- multiple layers of a material melted to one another to form a structure, the structure providing a base having an attachment feature configured to operatively secure to an ultrasonic converter, the structure includes a neck extending from the base to a terminal end providing a working surface configured to selectively engage a workpiece;
- wherein the attachment feature is an integral transition to a booster configured to attenuate a frequency from a ultrasonic converter, the booster, the base and the neck formed from the multiple layers to provide an unbroken, monolithic unitary structure.
A sonotrode comprising:
- a structure providing a base having an attachment feature configured to operatively secure to an ultrasonic converter, the structure includes a shaft extending from the base to a terminal end providing a working surface configured to selectively engage a workpiece;
- wherein the structure has multiple shafts that include a first shaft extending from the base to a first terminal end providing a first working surface configured to selectively engage a workpiece, and the multiple shafts include a second shaft extending from the base to a second terminal end providing a second working surface configured to selectively engage the workpiece, the first and second shafts are integrally formed with the base to provide an unbroken, monolithic construction.
