The next innovative process offered by Bossard is MultiMaterial-WeldingTM (MM-WTM) – an innovative fastening technique which utilizes ultrasonic vibrations to install composite fasteners in modern composite honeycomb and sandwich materials. Bossard’s MM-W technology improves assembly time and reduces the number of components required for assembly, resulting in time and in-place cost savings.
MM-W
MM-W technology uses friction generated by ultrasonic energy to permanently install rod or collar-shaped thermoplastic fasteners into a variety of composite substrates. This assembly technique creates stronger bonds, requires no pre-treatment of surfaces and produces no waste. This makes MM-W an innovative solution to use in place of more traditional fastening elements in lightweight materials.
The MM-W assembly process can be manual or automatic, resulting in a total process time under two seconds. MultiMaterial-Weldingis an efficient and quick process. If reducing assembly time in composites is a goal of your organization, Multi-Material Welding is well worth your time to consider in your manufacturing process.
