HOLLOW TIP WELDING TOOL

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a hollow-tipped ultrasonic welding and vacuum tool. The tool is comprised of a horn coupled to a converter for transferring an ultrasonic mechanical vibration to a part-contacting distal end of the horn. The horn is comprised of a vacuum channel that extends from an exterior surface of the horn through an interior portion of the horn to the part-contacting distal end of the horn. The vacuum channel may provide a channel through which a vacuum force may be focused to a part that is to be positioned and welded with a common part-contacting surface.
