Ornerynorsk,
We're actually inquiring with two ultrasonic welding equipment makers, since they would know best whether the taller e/d profile would be suitable. Thanks.
MintJulep,
Thanks for the reply. The ultrasonic welding would be preferred because it's a cleaner process, even though capital investment is significantly greater. However, as mentioned, if the energy director cannot be correctly molded, then it would defeat its purpose. I'm weighing between...
Hello,
I have an ABS part with a standard energy director profile (per ultrasonic welding equipment maker Dukane's recommendation) that the plastic injection molder indicated that they cannot produce. The profile is a right triangle, where the base is 0.5mm and the height from center of base to...

Rick,
Thanks for your input. Great questions.
*The device would be clamping a rigid (aluminum) cylinder.
*Yes, the cylinder could be left in place, depending on end user.
*The simplified drawing provided was for illustrative purpose only to communicate the concept and does not depict all...
Dr. DeArmitt,
Thank-you for your quick reply. This device could be used outdoor, but it depends very much on the user. I do believe the device would experience much more to the mechanical stress cycling as described than environmental/thermal stresses. This material would be used on a...
Hello all,
I'm new to this forum; seeking help as an inexperienced product designer on the selection of a plastic material for injection molding.
I have a small device that acts very much as a clamp for a cylindrical device that could range from 7.2mm to 9.5mm diameter. I have attached a...
