Abstract
Apparatus is provided for ultrasonic welding of wires which include a welding tip of a standard shaped readily machineable cross section with no concave surfaces. The welding tip is rotatable about an ultrasonic horn to present several alternative available worksurfaces. The worksurface in use defines a wall of the compression chamber into which wires to be welded are inserted. An anvil, a support, and a gathering tool each define an additional surface of the compression chamber. The position of each of these elements is adjustable thereby allowing for adjustment in two dimensions of the cross section of the compression chamber. This allows for the welding of various sizes or numbers of wires.
