FRIMO ULTRASONIC RIVETING
Machines and parts from a single source
Ultrasonic riveting is used to bond materials using thermoplastic rivet domes (polypropylene, polyamide 6, ABS, POM, etc.) onto other materials such as plastics or metals. This technology allows even the most diverse materials to be joined.
We offer technology-neutral advice in advance to determine the most appropriate solution for your unique requirements, both technically and economically.
ULTRASONIC RIVETING PROCESS
Secure welds with ultrasonics
In ultrasonic riveting, the plastic is plasticized at the contact point with the sonotrode by selectively converting sound energy into heat. The plastic is then formed under pressure and pressed down. It is cooled through both the sonotrode and cooling air.
