Sustainable, flexible and fast
Lightweight construction is set to become an increasingly popular choice as the automotive industry seeks to cut down on weight and save energy while adding more and more functions to vehicles. There are also important considerations such as autonomous driving and alternative drive concepts to factor in. In addition to weight reduction and energy savings, however, aesthetic features are also of central importance for the overall vehicle, and recycling the installed components as easily as possible is also a focus today.
Traditional welding and bonding processes often reach their limits, both in terms of sustainability and aesthetics. It is against this background that ultrasonic technology is often seen as a joining method that offers both technical and financial advantages, especially when high-quality surfaces are required – and it is undoubtedly set to continue gaining acceptance into the future.
