Thermosonic bonding is a method using heat and ultrasonic for bonding two materials. Since a horn transfers vibration and heat to the bonding material, it is a very important to figure out the heat flow on the horn and the alteration of the dynamic behavior due to the manufacturing error of the horn. In this research, the effect of temperature to the horn system and the effect of tolerance parameters to the amplitude and orientation of the system are performed. The manufacturing error that give most significant the effect on the amplitude and orientation are determined using Taguchi's method. It is found that the durability of the horn is affected by the temperature, while the amplitude and the orientation by the error of the length.
