Ultrasonic technology is providing Lasko Products with reliable, consistent bonding in the assembly of reservoir jugs for its humidifiers and other household appliances. The company, which had used solvent bonding to fasten the plastic jug to the jug base, experienced a high failure rate due to the glue failing to provide an airtight seal.
The solvent bonding method was replaced with ultrasonic plastic welders from SonobondR Ultrasonics.
