Ultrasonic Welding
Ultrasonic welding is a critical joining method for high-performance plastic assemblies, delivering strong, permanent bonds without the use of fasteners, adhesives, or secondary hardware. This process enables rapid, repeatable, and clean fusion of thermoplastic components—ideal for applications demanding both mechanical integrity and refined aesthetics.
Ames Industries offers in-house ultrasonic welding services integrated into our post-molding workflow. Our equipment and expertise support both visible and concealed weld lines, accommodating tight dimensional tolerances and cosmetic requirements for sectors such as automotive, medical, electronics, and consumer goods.
To ensure weldability and long-term performance, our engineering team is available to consult during the early stages of product design—advising on joint geometry, material compatibility, and process parameters to optimize ultrasonic welding outcomes.
Product Assembly
At Ames Industries, our value extends beyond precision injection molding—we offer full in-house assembly services to streamline your supply chain and reduce total production time. Whether your project requires the integration of molded components, mechanical fastening, spring insertion, or the incorporation of customer-supplied metal parts and subcomponents, our team executes all assembly operations to your exact design specifications.
Our assembly capabilities include mechanical joining, press-fitting, ultrasonic welding, and multi-part integration—all performed within our controlled production environment to ensure consistent quality, traceability, and efficiency.
By consolidating molding and assembly under one roof, Ames simplifies your production workflow, minimizes lead times, and delivers a turnkey solution tailored to your application.
Added-Value Finishing
In addition to our precision welding and assembly capabilities, Ames Industries offers a comprehensive range of value-added finishing services to meet complex product requirements and enhance part functionality or aesthetics.
