You probably know that welding is the process by which metal heated by a acetylene flame melts together to form a weld. However, most people don’t know that sound can also melt and join two separate surfaces together. This is called ultrasonic welding and is accomplished using high frequency sound waves and pressure to form a bond between plastics or plastics and metals. This process was discovered in the 1940s, the process did not really take off in mass production until the personal computer become a mass market item. The tech boom brought ultrasonic welding into the mass market.
Industry Boom
In fact, it was the demand for personal computers that made the process really take off. All those motherboards, memory modules, and other components were (and still are) in high demand, along with the components of mobile phones, and other consumer goodies. However, it’s not just our devices that rely on ultrasonic welding services to meet a need. Ultrasonic welding is used to assemble clean rooms where a solid seal against any outside intrusion is needed. It’s even used in medical devices such as catheters and other surgical devices and implants.
Experience Counts
When you’re looking for a memory module or motherboard, or an entire clean room laboratory, you need an experienced and proven company to stay on-task every step of the way. Bringing in a U.S. based company eliminates a lot of guesswork and long supply lines that can work against you when it comes to quality and on time delivery. Look to MDI as an industry leader, with a number of U.S. based locations to work with businesses and institutions all across the country.
