An ultrasonic rotary welding apparatus and methods of using the same are
disclosed. The ultrasonic welding device includes an ultrasonic horn and
an anvil. The ultrasonic horn is constrained by a mounting system. The
mounting system permits the horn to exhibit two degrees of freedom. The
first degree of freedom permits translational motion in a direction
perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the horn. The second degree of
freedom permits rotation about an axis perpendicular to both the
longitudinal axis of the horn and the direction of translational motion.
