Overview; Primary Weld Characteristics; End Of Limit Switch - Dukane iq series User Manual

Overview

The Troubleshooting section of this manual contains
a listing of problems that may occur when using this
equipment along with probable causes and recommended
solutions for the problems.
Regarding solutions, please note the following:
Where the solutions section refers to changing a setting for
a primary weld characteristic or altering the position of the
End-of-Weld limit switch, these adjustment capabilities
and controls must be available on your equipment.

Primary Weld Characteristics

Primary weld characteristics refers to methods used
to control the welding process. The characteristics
include Time, Distance, Position and Energy.
To be functional in your system, each characteristic
needs corresponding hardware/software support from
the generator.
Table 9-I shows each characteristic and its equipment
requirements.

End-of-Weld Limit Switch
The End-of-Weld limit switch is used to terminate
the ultrasound power burst during a weld cycle as
determined by the stroke position of the press head.
The switch is generally not used with a system
that contains a process controller with a distance
measurement function or a press/thruster equipped with
an optical distance encoder.
