Connecting Press Cables

The press is not equipped with its own source of com-
pressed air, electrical power, or electrical control and
monitoring. These functions are provided through the
connectors located on the rear of the thruster.
(Refer to Figure 3-18):
• Top of Stroke (J207) - This receptacle is factory wired
to a switch in the press/thruster that opens when the
press/thruster slide assembly begins extending and
closes when the slide assembly returns to the fully
retracted (i.e. top-of-stroke) position. This contact
closure is typically used in automated systems to in-
dicate to the controlling mechanism (supplied by the
end user) when the slide assembly is fully retracted.
A Dukane cable (Part Number 438-528) mates with
this receptacle to allow access to the switch contacts.
Under normal usage, do not
apply more than 24 VDC @ 2
Amps to the switch contacts
at J207.
• Ultrasound (J1) - This input connects the transducer
to the Ultrasound Output (J1) of the
erator, through a coaxial cable. The electrical welding
signal is transmitted through this cable.
• Operational Control (J201) - This cable runs from
J201 on the thruster to the generator's Press Port
(J5). The generator provides controls for triggering
the weld, operating the thruster's pneumatic system,
and providing 24VDC operating voltage through
this cable. The press driver card in the generator also
provides monitoring for these functions.
• Air In - This is a 1/4 NPT threaded receptacle for a
compressed air supply that provides the thruster with
the required pressure of 80-110 psi (5.4 - 7.5 atmo-
spheres) to operate the pneumatic system.
This connector is attached to an air filter on the press.
The input to the filter comes from the air shut-off
valve, located on the back, near the bottom of the
press.
