Ultrasonic inserts provide the strength performance of a molded-in insert, but are installed post molding by way of high frequency vibrations. These vibrations, conducted with an ultrasonic horn, generate enough heat to melt the plastic and imbed the insert securely into the component.

- Ultrasonic Locking Inserts
- Ultrasonic Locking Inserts with Head
