Controls and Indicators • Trigger Pressure Control: Selects the dynamic triggering pressure; calibrated 1-24 in half- steps (48 detents) corresponding to a force range of 15-200 lbs. (67-890 N) for the higher force units and 7-200 lbs. (32-890 N) for the lower force units. For more information, see Dynamic Trigger Mechanism.
Welding Systems Ultrasonic Plastics Welding Thermoplastic parts are welded ultrasonically by applying high-frequency vibrations to the parts being assembled. The vibrations, through surface and intermolecular friction, produce a sharp rise in temperature at the welding interface. When the temperature is high enough to melt the plastic, there is a flow of material between the parts.
Page 31
Horn The horn is selected or designed for a specific application. Each horn is tuned typically as a half-wave section that applies the necessary force and vibration uniformly to the parts to be assembled. It transfers ultrasonic vibrations from the converter to the workpiece. The horn is mounted to the booster as part of the ultrasonic stack.
Glossary The following terminology may be encountered when using or operating a 2000X-series ultrasonic welding system. Some of these terms may not be available in all Controls (Power Supply model) configurations: AB Amplitude: The amplitude at the horn face during the afterburst step. AB Delay: Time delay between the end of the hold and the start of the afterburst.
Page 33
Frequency: The operating frequency of the ultrasonic stack. The frequency stored is measured at the end of the ultrasonic portion of the cycle (when ultrasonics are terminated). Freq End: The frequency at the end of the ultrasonic portion of the welding cycle (when ultrasonics are terminated).
