Branson-AmTech Europa
Ultrasonic metal welding is AmTech speciality and it is active in the appliance, automotive, battery, electric and electronic industries.
In the summer of 1998 AmTech was purchased by Branson Ultrasonics Corporation and became a member of the Emerson Electric family. This combination benefits both companies as well as our customers worldwide.
Branson Europe hosts AmTech to better cover the European market and serve our customers, combining technical know how and synergies.
The new European AmTech Headquarter is now located in Branson Barcelona offices in Spain.
Beside plastics welding, joining of metals, specifically nonferrous metals used in electrical connections, is a particularly useful application of ultrasonic technology. Commonly used techniques involving the fusion of metal through the application of heat by flame, hot tools, electric current or electric arc in combination with cleaning and fluxing agents and sometimes filler metals are able to join these materials but the characteristics of these processes and the materials to be joined are at odds with one another. Ultrasonic welding of nonferrous metals in electrical connections has been demonstrated to eliminate most, if not all, of these problems. In fact, ultrasonic welding of metals is rapidly becoming the process of choice by informed design and manufacturing engineers. Actual applications and operating cost comparisons will illustrate the degree of acceptance and the inherent advantages of ultrasonic metal welding for wiring and interconnection applications.
