Not every technological advancement in automotive assembly gets adequate recognition. Consider, for example, how much has been written about the use of aluminum in the redesigned 2019 Dodge RAM 1500 and 2500 trucks, vs. that of ultrasonic welding.
In 2018, Telsonic Ultrasonics Inc. provided Grupo Antolin with several vibration welders and hundreds of horns, punch and anvil sets, actuators, MAG generators and converters to weld numerous sections of the truck at the company’s plant in Shelby Township, MI. These include door panels, bumper trims, instrument panels and headliners (material adhered to the inside roof).
