Rinco Ultrasonics, a Switzerland-headquartered manufacturer of ultrasonic welding equipment, has launched its Ultrasonic Servo-Driven Splicer (USDS).

The USDS captures and secures groups of wires and welds the ends together to create a strong bond that has better electrical conductivity than soldered joints, the company said. Rinco is working to expand the USDS offering with higher power versions.

The company’s ultrasonic metal welding machines enable the welding of non-ferrous metals without any additives. By manufacturing customized tools and components, Rinco offers products for various applications including batteries, cable terminals, power strips, IGBTs, foil sheets and microelectronics. The higher conductivity compared with soldered bonds is increasing the use of ultrasonic metal welding in the production of batteries, buss bars and wire harnesses.

Rinco’s ultrasonic metal welding line also includes the Ultrasonic Servo-Driven Bonder (USDB), which has a robust machine design that can withstand various loads and reaction forces. Rinco’s systems can be integrated into special-purpose machines or automated lines.

“The Ultrasonic Servo-Driven Splicer gives manufacturers another effective option in the metal welding market,” said Bill Aurand, Sales Manager for Rinco. “Our system is highly efficient, helping manufacturers meet today’s demanding productivity requirements.”
