In the fields of new energy vehicles, high-voltage charging piles and high-performance batteries, ultrasonic welding technology is quietly leading a manufacturing revolution with its unique advantages. Through the industry conferences held in recent years, we also found that more and more ultrasonic welding companies participated in the conference and shared technology, and more traditional wire harness processing companies began to enter the field of ultrasonic welding equipment.
01 Technology Frontier: Three breakthroughs from "alternative" to "must"
Breakthrough 1: High performance welding head to improve process stability
The problem of amplitude drift and yield decrease is easy to occur after the traditional welding head is used at high frequency. However, the new high-performance welding head, through advanced material strengthening technology, will significantly increase the service life and control the amplitude fluctuation within a very small range. The application of this technology has made a well-known automobile manufacturer significantly improve the welding yield and significantly reduce quality claims in the production of high-voltage wire harnesses, setting a new benchmark for the industry.
Breakthrough 2: Multi-material welding breaks traditional restrictions
In the past, welding between different metal materials has been a problem for the industry. Today, ultrasonic welding technology through high-frequency modulation and dynamic pressure control, successfully realized the efficient welding of copper and aluminum and other multi-material, interface shear strength greatly improved. In addition, the welding of ultra-thin materials has also made breakthroughs, providing strong support for the improvement of battery energy density and the lightweight of wiring harnesses. At the same time, some innovative welding processes, such as adhesive welding, further improve production efficiency.
Breakthrough 3: AI-enabled welding process
In the wave of intelligent manufacturing, ultrasonic welding technology has also ushered in new development opportunities. Through neural network algorithms, welding equipment can monitor vibration, pressure and temperature data in real time to achieve precise control. Even in the case of material size fluctuations, the welding strength can remain stable. In the face of impurities such as oxidation layer and oil, AI can automatically switch modes to remove obstacles and ensure welding quality. This intelligent welding process has brought new changes to traditional manufacturing.
02 Scene refactoring: Innovative practices in three areas
Scenario 1: The revolution of wire harness manufacturing
The traditional wire harness manufacturing process has some problems, such as high cost and complex structure. The appearance of ultrasonic welding technology directly simplifies the process flow, eliminates the copper terminals and plastic-case components, and significantly reduces the cost. In the sampling wiring harness of a well-known battery manufacturer, the cost of a single wire is significantly reduced through ultrasonic welding technology, while the welding space is also optimized.
Scenario 2: Efficient welding of power batteries
In the field of power batteries, laser welding used to be the mainstream technology, but its heat-affected zone problems limited the improvement of battery life. Ultrasonic welding technology has successfully solved this problem with its low temperature and high efficiency. By optimizing the welding process, the tensile strength and cycle life of the battery pole are significantly improved, which provides a strong guarantee for the safety and reliability of the power battery.
Scenario 3: Reliability of charging piles is improved
With the development of supercharge technology, the liquid cooled wiring harness of charging pile is facing higher requirements. Ultrasonic welding technology through the integrated welding process, the seamless connection of copper pipe and wire is achieved, and the air tightness is greatly improved, which can easily cope with extreme conditions. At the same time, the efficient production of automatic welding equipment also provides support for the rapid manufacturing of charging piles.
03 Trend prediction: The tipping point of technological explosion in 2025
Trend 1: Nanoscale welding accuracy opens a new era
With the continuous progress of technology, the accuracy of ultrasonic welding is moving towards the nanometer level. This high-precision welding technology will bring new solutions for the packaging of electronic components and power modules, driving the industry towards higher performance.
Trend 2: Intelligent production line has become the industry standard
Future welding production lines will be more intelligent. Through digital twin technology and self-learning algorithm, welding equipment can monitor and predict process parameters in real time to achieve accurate control. This not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces spare parts inventory, which brings significant economic benefits to enterprises.
Trend 3: Green manufacturing promotes process upgrading
In the context of increasing global environmental awareness, green manufacturing has become an inevitable trend in the development of the industry. Ultrasonic welding technology with its characteristics of no addition and no pollution, will become the first choice for future manufacturing processes, helping the industry to achieve sustainable development.
With the rapid development of new energy vehicles and intelligent driving technology, ultrasonic welding technology is gradually spreading from the high-end manufacturing field to the whole industry. In the future, equipment manufacturers will lower the technical threshold through modular design and promote the application of ultrasonic welding technology in more small and medium-sized enterprises. At the same time, cross-industry collaborative innovation will accelerate technology iteration and improve the overall level of the industry. In addition, the gradual improvement of the standard system will also provide a strong guarantee for the healthy development of technology.
