Actuator type
This refers to the feature set of the device that delivers the horn to the workpiece. It may be just a convertor/
horn “stack”, or a Branson furnished basic actuator, or a Branson furnished actuator with distance and force
sensors.
Automation
When an ultrasonic welder is integrated as a component or station into an assembly machine.
Confirm Preset
A user output signal that will indicate that a weld cycle preset # has been input from the external controller.
Cycle Abort
Note: Not a new Version 9.xx feature but repeated here for clarity and usefulness in conjunction with several
new V9.xx features.
External Input fixed at J3-pin 2 that +24VDC applied will immediately terminate the current weld cycle,
retract the horn if using an actuator, and not accept another Start or PB input until removed. The welder is
much quicker to go back to Ready when used in lieu of the Emergency Stop function as it does not require
a Reset to clear the alarm afterwards. It is, thus, the preferred method to terminate a weld cycle
if human
safety conditions are not the reason for welder stoppage. Emergency Stop should still be used for those con
-
ditions where safety, such as the machine Emergency Stop, are encountered.
Cycle Okay
A user output signal that indicates no detectable alarm conditions occurred during the last weld cycle.
Cycle Completed
A User Output signal that indicates no detectable alarm condition occurred during the last weld cycle.
Disabled
This selection in User I/O will shut off the hardware pin from any occurrence. It will not change state under
any condition after the unit becomes Ready.
