Tip

A relatively small, nonresonant metal part that is used at the front of a horn to transmit ultrasonic energy to the load. The tips are replaced after a certain amount of wear, thereby saving the attached horn.

Examples:

  • Tips for spot welding (both for metal and plastic)
  • Tips for staking applications
  • Tips for inserting
  • Tips for cutting applications (both industrial and medical)
