SpliceRite™ ultrasonic wire splicer from
Sonobond Ultrasonics is designed to
create perfect solid-state metallurgical
bonds using the lowest possible voltage
drop and minimum energy consumption.
The unit eliminates the need for clipping,
soldering, crimping, or dipping, quickly
splicing wire bundles without producing
arcs, sparks or fumes, or melting the wires.
It will accommodate tinned or heavily
oxidized wires and is available in 1,500
and 2,500 watts power capacities.
SpliceRite features Sonobond's patented
Wedge-Reed system, combining high
vibratory force with low amplitude
coupling. It enables the unit to direct high
frequency ultrasonic energy via a welding
tip to the surface between the metals to
be welded.
The vibratory energy disperses the oxides
and surface films between the work
pieces. A true metallurgical bond is then
created without melting the materials.
All Sonobond metal welders, including
the SpliceRite ultrasonic wire splicer,
feature heat-treated, tool steel taper lock
tips. These tips can last for up to 300,000
welds and permit quick tooling changes.
Sonobond ultrasonic welding units are
environmentally friendly, economical and
produce no waste, with the additional
benefit of being easy to operate with only
minimal training.

PWM has auto-
mated its HP100
air/hydraulic cold
welder.
The new unit “can
be used to recycle
short lengths of
wire that might
otherwise be dis-
carded, being too
time consuming to
weld.”
