Product catalog summary
General Description
The Sonobond SeamMaster is an ultrasonic bonding machine designed for efficient sealing, sewing, and trimming of synthetic fabrics without using thread, glue, or other consumables. It is ideal for hand-guided applications with tight tolerances and curves due to its higher clearance between the wheel and the horn. The machine operates up to four times faster than traditional sewing, heat sealing, and adhesive machines, making it cost-effective. It is used in the textile, apparel, and engineered fabrics industries, with interchangeable pattern rollers for various applications.
Features and Benefits
- Seals, trims, and sews without consumables
- Operates four times faster than conventional sewing machines
- High clearance for hand-guided operations
- Modular units available for production line integration
- Eliminates fraying or unraveling of seams
- Wide selection of roller patterns
- Minimal training required
- Helps meet OSHA regulations for barrier seams
- SoftSeam™ process for smooth seams
Applications
The SeamMaster is suitable for joining and slitting synthetic fabrics, particularly those that are 100% synthetic or blends with up to 40% natural fibers. It can be used on materials like polypropylene, polyester, nylon, and more, in various forms such as wovens, nonwovens, and laminates. Applications include garments, blankets, filters, and medical apparel.
Theory of Operation
Ultrasonic bonding is achieved by channeling high-frequency vibrations to the fabric, causing synthetic fibers to melt and fuse, creating strong seams.

The Sonobond SeamMaster provides rapid sealing, sewing, and trimming of synthetic fabrics without thread, glue, or other consum- ables. Although similar in appearance and operation to traditional sewing machines, the SeamMaster High Profile bonder has a higher clearance between the wheel and the horn, making it ideal for hand- guided applications with tight tolerances, or when working around curves. Ultrasonic bonding with the SeamMaster eliminates needle and thread breakage, thread color changeover and thread unraveling problems. And with production speeds up to 4 times faster than sewing, heat sealing and adhesive machines, the SeamMaster is highly cost-effective.Sonobondْs SeamMaster is designed for specialized applications inthe textile, apparel and engineered fabrics industries. A variety of interchangable pattern rollers are available for slitting, embossing, and stitching,Ӕ as well as custom pattern wheels designed by Sonobond engineers. The SeamMaster performs in one quick pass saving time, labor, and material. Seams bonded by Sonobonds SeamMaster are so perfectly fused and sealed that they can be used to help comply with OSHAҒs regulations for barrier seams.
