Definitions and Functions
Weld Time – The amount of time the vibrating head gener-
ates frictional heat across the work surface.
Hold Time – The amount of time the lift table maintains
the clamp portion of the weld cycle. This allows the welded
surface to become solid. Hold time will start after the weld
time has been reached.
Total Collapse – Weld and hold distance combined.
Weld Force – The force that is applied across the work
piece during the weld time.
Frequency – This is the frequency at which the tool runs.
Part Counter – This is the total number of parts processed.
Reset Part Counter – Resets part counter to zero. Only
the Process Engineer or the Administrator can reset the
counter.
Suspect Part Counter – This is the total number of
suspect cycles.
Amplitude – This peak-to-peak value is the total amount
of horizontal movement of the tooling.
For example: An amplitude of 1.3mm means the upper tool-
ing fixture is driven 0.65mm to the left, back to the center,
then 0.65mm to the right. The fixture goes back to center
for a total cycle amplitude of 1.3mm.
