release parts from the horn.
• Alarms, Process: These are set values used for part quality monitoring.
• Amplitude Stepping: A Patented Branson Process. At a specified time, energy, peak power, distance,
or by external signal you can change the amplitude during the weld to control the flow of plastic. This
feature helps ensure part consistency, higher strength parts, and control of flash.
• Automatic Preset Naming: If you choose not to name your preset, the Power Supply will give it a name
that describes the weld mode and main parameter setting.
• Autotuning: Ensures that the welder is running at peak efficiency.
• Cycle Aborts: These are user programmed conditions (missing part and ground detect) at which the
cycle is terminated. These can be used as safety limits to save wear and tear on the system and your
tooling.
• Cycle Time and Date Stamp: The Power Supply provides each cycle with a time and date stamp for
production and quality control purposes. Clock is year 2000 and leap year compliant.
• Digital Amplitude Setting: This feature allows you to set the exact amplitude necessary for your appli-
cation, affording increased range and setting repeatability over analog systems.
• Digital Tuning: Means to tune the Power Supply for applications and horns at the extremes of the Power
Supply capture range.
• Digital UPS: The Digital UPS has programmable (through a digital interface from a system controller)
features which allow true autotune and and start ramp during set-up. Power supply presets can be cus-
tomized.
• Downspeed: Sets the advance speed of the horn towards the workpiece.
• English (USCS)/Metric Units: This feature allows the welder to be programmed in the local units in use.
• Foreign Languages: Software supports user selectable languages at start up; English, French, Ger-
man, Italian and Spanish.
• Frequency Offset: This feature provides a user-set frequency value used in very limited applications
where the fixture or anvil causes a frequency shift in the Power Supply’s operation. This feature should
be used only when advised by Branson.
• Graphs, Auto-Scaling: When you request a graphic printout in Time Mode, the Power Supply automat-
ically scales the time axis of the graph to give you the most meaningful graph possible.
• Graphs, Printing of Power, Amplitude, Frequency, and Horn Scan for DUPS: The 2000X supports
graphic printouts of these items. These graphs include markers to show critical points in the weld. Use
these graphs to optimize your weld process or diagnose application problems.
• Graphs, User Selectable: In any mode you can select the scale of the time axis on any graph so that
you can zoom in on the start of the weld cycle.
• Hold Force: Force applied to the workpiece while ultrasonic vibrations are removed.
• Horn Down: Clamp On: When in the horn down mode, the start switches can be released after the part
is contacted while the part remains clamped in place. Press horn down key again to release. Clamp Off:
The horn will retract whenever the start switches are released in the horn down mode.
• Horn Down Display: During Horn Down, the absolute Distance, Force, Velocity, and Pressure are dis-
played digitally so that you can determine correct values for process limits and cutoffs.
•
Horn Down Mode: A manual procedure used to verify system setup and alignment.
