6.4 Setting Primary Parameters
After analyzing your specific application, you can determine the Weld Mode to use to weld your parts. A
Weld Mode is a set of parameters that governs the weld. (Contact the Branson Ultrasonics Applications Lab-
oratory for more information on determining the best mode for welding your application.
There are four Weld Modes to choose from Time, Energy, Peak Power, and Ground Detect Modes. The
following table describes each mode:
*In these modes, timeout can be used for control limits.
Table 6.1 Summary of Weld Modes
Weld Mode Description
Time
You select the length of time (in seconds) that ultrasonic energy will be
transmitted to your parts.
Energy*
You select the amount of energy (in Joules) that will be transmitted to
your parts. (A Joule is one watt per second.)
Peak Power*
You select the peak power level (as a percentage of full power) at which
the weld is terminated.
Ground Detect*
The 2000X provides ultrasonic energy until the horn comes in contact
with your electrically isolated fixture or with the anvil, providing that you
made an electrical connection between the actuator and your fixture or
anvil.
