Deemed an essential business, Newtown, Connecticut-based Sonics & Materials, Inc. a manufacturer of ultrasonic liquid processors, plastics assembly equipment and metal welding systems, has been operating continuously throughout the coronavirus crisis to meet customers’ needs as they address peak demand for PPE items or convert existing production lines to products needed most at this time.

As a supplier of ultrasonic assembly equipment for more than five decades, Sonics manufactures ultrasonic equipment that is used for textile, plastics, metal, packaging and specialty applications. As companies rush to adapt to new demands, many are retooling or discovering the benefits of ultrasonic assembly for PPE textile and plastics applications, such as continuous bonding or slitting, punching, sealing, plunge bonding, and hook and loop (Velcro) bonding, to produce face masks, surgical gowns, protective face shields and more.

Sonics’ ultrasonic plastics welding systems also are used for myriad medical device applications where the benefits of precision control and green technology (no additional consumables or waste, plus on-demand energy) are increasingly valued.

Sonics recently held a free webinar on “Ultrasonics and PPE/Medical Devices,” which will be available on their website at www.sonics.com/ppe-and-med-device/.
