Sound level and frequency of the noise emitted during the ultrasonic assembly process may
depend upon a. type of application, b. size, shape and composition of the material being
assembled, c. shape and material of the holding fixture, d. welder setup parameters and e.
tool design. Some parts vibrate at an audible frequency during the process. Some or all of
these factors may result in an uncomfortable noise being emitted during the process. In such
cases operators may need to be provided with personal protective equipment. See 29 CFR
(Code of Federal Regulations) 1910.95 Occupational Noise Exposure. Refer to the following
Table: Manufacturers of Protective Materials and Equipment.
1.2.1 Intended Use of the System
The 2000X Power Supply and Actuator are components of an ultrasonic welding system. These are
designed for a wide variety of welding or processing applications.
1.2.2 Emissions
When being processed, certain plastic materials can emit toxic fumes and/or gases hazardous to user
health. Where such materials are processed, proper ventilation of the workstation is required. Check with
your materials suppliers for recommended protection when processing their materials. See 29 CFR (Code
of Federal Regulations) 1910.134, Respiratory protection..
1.2.3 Setting up the Workplace
Measures for setting up a workplace for safe operation of the ultrasonic welder are outlined in Section Chap-
ter 4:: Installation and Setup and in the 2000 Series Installation Guide shipped with the Power Supply.
Processing of many materials, such as PVC, can be hazardous to an operator’s health
and could cause corrosion/damage to the equipment. Use proper ventilation and take
protective measures
