Glueless Sonic Edge Wrapping Process


To achieve a quality edge-wrapped finish around injection-molded moon-roof reinforcement rings on this thermoformed headliner without the cost and mess of adhesive, the textile material was sonically welded to the reinforcing ring polymer.  Special tooling was created for this application combining a traditional edge-wrap that allowed sonic welding.  The new process saved 91 g per  headliner and $5 USD direct cost by eliminating glue.
