Although not usually requiring modifications from the factory setting, the following features are selectable: Table 5.13 Power Supply Features Name Description Allows for a short activation of ultrasonics at the end of the weld cycle Afterburst to reliably release parts from the horn.
Assembling the Acoustic Stack CAUTION General Warning The following procedure must be performed by a setup person. If necessary, secure the largest portion of a square or rectangular horn in a soft jawed vise. NEVER attempt to assemble or remove a horn by holding the converter housing or the booster clamp ring in a vise.
5.6.1 For a 20 kHz System Table 5.17 20 kHz System Step Action Ensure that the mating surfaces of the converter, booster, and horn are clean, and that the threaded holes are free of foreign material. Install a single Mylar plastic film washer (matching the size of the washer to the stud) to each interface.
5.6.4 Connecting Tip to Horn 1. Ensure that the mating surfaces of the tip and horn are clean. Remove any foreign matter from the threaded stud and hole. 2. Hand assemble the tip to the horn. Assemble dry. Do not use any silicone grease. 3.
Converter Cooling Converter performance and reliability can be adversely affected if the converter ceramics are subjected to temperatures above 140 °F (60 °C). The converter front driver temperature should not exceed 122 °F (50 °C). To prolong converter life and maintain a high degree of system reliability, the converter should be cooled with clean, dry, compressed air, particularly if your application calls for continuous ultrasonic operation.
If converter cooling is required, use the following steps: Table 5.22 Converter Cooling Procedure Step Action Start with a 50 psi (345 kPa) air source or higher from a 0.06 in (1.5 mm) I.D. orifice Perform a run of welding operations.

Converters and Boosters A variety of converters and boosters available for use with the DCX F-EIP Rack Mount Power Supply are illustrated in the following pages. WARNING High Voltage Hazard To avoid the possibility of electrical shock, converters need to be properly grounded.
6.1.1 Component Functional Description Ultrasonic Stack Converter The converter is mounted in the customer's automation as part of the ultrasonic stack. The ultrasonic electrical energy from the power supply is applied to the converter (sometimes called the transducer). This transforms the high frequency electrical oscillations into mechanical vibrations at the same frequency as the electrical oscillations.
Page 107
Solid Mount Boosters The solid mount booster is a one-half wave-length resonant section made exclusively of titanium. It is mounted between the converter and the horn, modifying the amplitude of vibration applied to the horn and providing a clamping point. The solid mount booster is superior to prior versions in that deflection is minimized.

NOTICE To prevent circuit damage from electrostatic discharge, always service the power supply on a static-dissipative surface, while wearing a properly grounded wrist strap. NOTICE When the battery is worn out, dispose it under the ordinance of each local government. 4000871EN REV.
DCX F-EIP Rack Mount Power Supply Preventive Maintenance The following preventive measures help assure long term operation of your Branson DCX F-EIP Rack Mount Power Supply equipment. 9.2.1 Periodically Clean the Equipment NOTICE Use only anti-static vacuum cleaners to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge to your power supply.
Page 201
9.2.2 Recondition the Stack (Converter, Booster, and Horn) NOTICE Never clean the converter-booster-horn stack mating surfaces by using a buffing wheel or by filing. Welding system components work most efficiently when the converter-booster-horn stack mating surfaces are flat, in solid contact, and free from fretting corrosion. Poor contact between mating surfaces wastes power output, makes tuning difficult, increases noise and heat, and may cause damage to the converter.
Stack Reconditioning Procedure To recondition stack mating surfaces, take the following steps: Table 9.1 Stack Reconditioning Procedure Step Action Disassemble the converter-booster-horn stack and wipe the mating surfaces with a clean cloth or paper towel. Examine all mating surfaces. If any mating surface shows corrosion or a hard, dark deposit, recondition it.
For a 20 kHz System Table 9.4 Stack Reassembly for a 20 kHz System Step Action Clean the mating surfaces of the converter, booster, and horn. Remove any foreign material from the threaded holes. Install the threaded stud into the top of the booster. Torque to 450 in·lb (50.84 N·m).
For a 40 kHz System Table 9.6 Stack Reassembly for a 40 kHz System Step Action Clean the mating surfaces of the converter, booster, and horn. Remove any foreign material from the threaded holes. Apply a drop of Loctite®* 290 threadlocker (or equivalent) to the studs for the booster and horn.

No Cycle Alarms (Group 7) No cycle alarms are caused by possible mechanical setup errors or user errors. These are usually time out errors because an expected input did not occur in time. They will prevent a cycle from continuing. So although a cycle may have started, the cycle will be aborted. Table A.8 No Cycle Alarms (Group 7) Fieldbus Bit...
Communication Failure Alarms (Group 8) This group handles any communication issue that occur between processors. This is generally result noisy environments other conditions that interrupt communications. Physical cable failures will be included in the Hardware Failure group. Because data cannot be transmitted between internal hardware, the cycle will be aborted. NOTICE Alarm message will not reset until the malfunction is corrected.
A.10 Hardware Alarms (Group A) This group of alarms will deal with internal equipment failures. This will generally be equipment that is supplied by Branson as part in the internal workings of the power supply. Cycles cannot be started if there is a Hardware alarm. If a cycle is in process when the alarm is detected then the cycle is aborted.
A.11 Non-Cycle Overload Alarms (Group B) This group deals with overloads that occur outside of a weld cycle. By definition a weld is not in process so the weld cycle counter is not affected and the weld is not aborted. Table A.11 Non-Cycle Overload Alarms (Group B) Fieldbus Bit Alarm...
