Abstract:
1. A transducer comprising: a horn configured to transmit vibrations along a length thereof during operation of the transducer in a form of an oscillatory waveform comprising a plurality of vibration nodal points, the horn having a first end and an end opposite the first end; an ultrasonic generator coupled to the first end of the horn; a bonding tool coupled to the end of the horn opposite the first end and configured to perform a bonding operation; a first flange structure positioned along a length of the horn at a first vibration nodal point of the plurality of vibration nodal points and configured for mounting the transducer; and a second flange structure positioned along the length of the horn at a second vibration nodal point of the plurality of vibration nodal points and configured for mounting the transducer, the second flange structure being separated from the first flange structure by a distance of exactly one wavelength of the oscillatory waveform.
