Custom Ultrasonic Horns: Drawings to Prepare for a Quote
A useful custom horn quotation starts with the workpiece and the ultrasonic assembly. MCSONIC offers standard and custom sonotrodes for welding and cutting. The information below helps an engineering discussion move from a generic horn request to a defined tooling requirement.

Information to prepare
| Part and joint drawings | Show material, dimensions, contact area, joint location, tolerances and surfaces that must remain unmarked. |
|---|---|
| Existing equipment | State frequency, generator and transducer models, booster arrangement and mounting details. |
| Production conditions | Include handling method, available space, target output and whether the horn is for welding or cutting. |
| Acceptance criteria | Define the required joint or cut inspection and identify representative sample parts. |
Review material and geometry together
If you need a titanium horn, state that preference and explain the process requirement. The final tooling material, geometry and compatibility should be confirmed in the quotation. Do not assume that changing only the horn material will correct a process problem. Include the current tooling drawing when requesting a replacement rather than a new design.
Agree on scope, quantity and lead time
Separate tooling design, sample evaluation, manufacture and commissioning in the requested scope. State the required quantity and delivery destination. Minimum order quantity, lead time and support arrangements are quotation-specific; this page does not promise a standard delivery window or a fixed minimum order. Confirm drawing revision and acceptance criteria before approving manufacture.
What should I send if I do not have a horn drawing?
Start with workpiece drawings, photographs, existing equipment details and the required result. Explain which drawings or samples are available so the team can confirm the next engineering step.
