ABSTRACT:
A pressure head (10) for contacting pressure areas through relative movement in the vertical Z-direction includes a frame (20), a pair of horn assemblies (12) each including a horn (100) for contacting a workpiece (230), the horn (100) supported by a gimbal (40) connected to the frame (20) and a pair of pressure assemblies 15, each including a pressure cylinder (310) for applying a force to its horn (100). The gimbal (40) has only a single outer torsion member (50) and supports the horn (100) such that the horn (100) can rotate about orthogonal X and Y rotation axes and can translate in the Z-direction relative to frame (20). Each gimbal (40) having only a single outer torsion member (50) allows a pair of gimbals (40) to support horns (100) in close proximity for operation on two proximal work areas.
