For a long time, I had been bothered by the high prices some OEMs charge for replacement converters. Until recently, I couldn't find a way to do anything about it. But when the opportunity arose for me to address that situation, I jumped at the chance. I'm Tom Kirkland, and during my time as a manufacturing engineer I purchased and installed over fifty ultrasonic welders for my then-employer. I later had a long and successful stint with one of the major OEM companies and became known for my technical knowldege, troubleshooting ability, and training seminars in ultrasonic plastics assembly. I have held several offices in related professional societies, including a stint as President of the Ultrasonic Industry Assocaition. For more info, see the consulting services page. Drawing on my 20-plus years of experience with ultrasonic welders, I located a company in the United States that I could trust to manufacture a high-quality replacement converter, using all of the best equipment and procedures, that could perform as well and last as long as the OEM model. Since my supplier makes them for me in quantity and does not have the massive profit expectation of the OEM, they sell them to me at a very reasonable price. Then I turn around and sell them to you at a very reasonable price. Now, these are not some cheap knock-offs cranked out in a quonset hut someplace. First, all of the parts are brand-spanking-new, not recovered from scrapped units. These converters are made in a highly controlled and repeatable manner to duplicate the performance of the OEM models. The parts are made from certified materials in tightly controlled manufacturing processes, assembled and tested in a climate-controlled environment using carefully calibrated equipment, then properly aged and re-tested to ensure performance that duplicates the OEM part. Best of all, since the manufacturing process is so carefully controlled, durability is assured. Just to show you how far we'll go to make the best product possible, we didn't just copy the OEM design. We actually improved it mechanically, to deliver extra durability. If I did not believe these converters were at least as good as the OEM's, I could not offer the same warranty as the OEM, namely, three years one-time replacement. Simply ship the broken unit back to arrive within three years of original shipment, and it will be replaced (one time). See the warranty link below for the particulars. So, how can you know for sure that these converters do what I say they will? After all of my years in the industry, I wouldn't put my reputation on the line for junk. Still, the only way you are going to know for sure is to order one and try it out. Since they cost about half what the OEM charges, doesn't it make sense to try one out and find out if they are at least half as good as I say they are?
