Critical Constraints
  • Selection/design should be specifically configured for each application.
Notes
  • Horns are constructed of fatigue resistant metals (aluminum or titanium).
  • Horns should be designed to efficiently deliver energy to weld joint and prevent marring of critical aesthetic surfaces.
