Setting Amplitude (%)
You can set the amplitude of the ultrasonic energy that will be delivered in any welding
mode. The Power Supply’s default is to use 100% of the available amplitude. By changing
the amplitude to some lesser percentage of the total available, or by setting the amplitude
to begin at one level and finish at another, you can “fine tune” your overall welding proce-
dure without making changes to your tooling (converter, booster, horn, or fixture).
You can select the amplitude to use when Amplitude is fixed. If Amplitude is Stepped, this
parameter is inactive and the display shows **** for Amplitude (%). If you set Amplitude
Control to External in System Configuration, this parameter is inactive and the display
shows Ext for Amplitude (%).
Take this action… To get this result…
Using the arrow keys, scroll downward
through the menu until you see Amplitude
(%). Press the Select key that corresponds
to Amplitude (%).
Use the numeric keypad to enter the
Amplitude (as a percentage of the maxi-
mum) that you want to use, or press the
same Select key repeatedly to toggle
between the minimum value (10%) and the
maximum value (100%) for Amplitude (%).
Press Enter on the numeric keypad to save
the new value, or press Go Back/Esc to
make no change to the value.
