Glossary of Terms
Name
The amplitude at the horn face during the afterburst step.
Time delay between the end of the hold and the start of
an afterburst.
The duration of the afterburst.
Terminates the current printing request.
Ends the ultrasonic portion of the cycle when the set
absolute distance is reached.
The distance the horn has traveled from home (ULS
deactivation).
A mode in operation in which the ultrasonic portion of the
cycle is terminated when a user-specified distance from
home has been reached.
The position of the actuator after clearing the Upper Limit
Switch (home position).
A reported value that occurred during the weld cycle. The
converse is the set parameter that was requested during
the setup.
Ultrasonic energy applied after the hold step. Used to
break away sticking parts from the tooling.
An audible signal that sounds when a general alarm has
occurred.
The peak-to-peak movement at the horn face. Always
expressed as a percentage of the maximum.
The amplitude applied to the part from the start of the
weld to the end of the weld.
The amplitude applied to the part from the step change
to the end of the weld.
A graph of amplitude percentage plotted against time.
A change in amplitude during the ultrasonic portion of the
cycle.
The ability to set amplitude digitally or by an external
control.
A pretrigger condition indicating that pretrigger engages
when the actuator leaves the upper limit switch.
