Press Interface Module

This module is also known as the Options Slot Module.
Module location is shown on Page 17, Figure 3-5.
Modules support two different press series: iQ Series,
and Ultra Series, and those modules are described here
in general terms.
Welding with Two Pressures
With modules P4 or P8 (as shown in the table below),
two pressures can be used to create strong, reliable
welds. Clamp force is increased to improve the plastic
melt and flow during the weld portion (Pressure 1) of
a cycle, and this assures tight assembly during the hold
portion (Pressure 2) by welding parts at one pressure
and holding them together at a second, higher pressure.
iQ Series
The iQ Series module, P4, supports press system op-
eration through two connectors:
• J5 - Thruster - Provides control for thruster
operation.(Dukane Cable P/N 200-1556-XXM)
• J6 - Base/Abort
press base control.
(Dukane Cable P/N 200-1545-XXM)
Ultra Series
The P8 module offers connectivity for Dukane Ultra
Series systems. It supports three connectors:
• J7 - Thruster - Provides control for thruster
operation. (Dukane Cable P/N 200-1556-XXM)
• J8 - Base/Abort
press base control.
(Dukane Cable P/N 200-1545-XXM)
• TOS (Top of Stroke)
top of stroke - when thruster is fully retracted.

Welding with Two Pressures and
Distance
The P5 or P9 module enhances the P4 or P8 module
respectively by adding a distance mode.
The Weld by Distance mode controls the melt collapse
distance to ensure that the same volume of material
melts on each part. The result: finished joint strength is
consistent.
All distance parameters - downstroke, trigger delay, weld
hold, absolute weld, total weld, and total stroke distance -
are monitored to show upper and lower limits for bad and
suspect parts. This will verify part quality and uniformity.
Dukane's linear optical encoder has a one-micron resolu-
tion to insure exceptional precision and repeatability.
iQ Series
The iQ Series module, P5, adds support for distance,
and that requires a third connector:
• J11 - Encoder
deliver control for the distance encoder.
(An extender cable, that is required in some ap-
plications: Dukane Cable P/N 200-1613-XXM.)
Ultra Series
The P9 module adds support for distance, and that requires
a third connector:
• J12 - Encoder
to deliver control for the distance encoder.
(An extender cable, that is required in some
applications: Dukane Cable P/N 200-1613-
XXM.)
