Abstract
An ultrasonic collet horn for an ultrasonic welder has a body and a collet over which a replaceable horn tip is receivable. The collet has a plurality of axial slits therein that divide the collet into sections and a tapered axially extending bore that tapers outwardly as it extends axially outwardly. The body has a threaded bore that is threadably engageable with a threaded inner section of a collet lock. The sections of the collet are forced outwardly against an inner wall of the horn tip when the horn tip is received on the collet and the collet lock tightened into the threaded bore to secure the horn tip on the collet.
