Glossary of Terms
2-12 011-003-991 EN
Horn Down: A mode in which ultrasonics are locked out and the user can advance the Actuator for setup
and alignment.
Linear Encoder: Provides carriage distance measurement during the Actuator cycle.
X-Beam Load Cell: Provides force measurement for accurate ultrasonic triggering and graphing of force.
Main Menu: The list of categories of features available in the software.
Max Energy: The maximum user-specified energy that produces a part without an alarm. Used with energy
compensation to turn off the weld in Time mode.
Min Energy: The minimum user-specified energy that produces a part without an alarm. Used with energy
compensation to extend the weld to up to 50% of the weld time in Time mode.
Minus Limit: The user-defined lower limit - used with suspect and reject limits.
Missing Part: A min/max distance where trigger is expected. Returns the actuator to the home position and
displays an alarm indicating that the cycle was aborted because no part was present.
Parameter range: Valid range of parameters accepted for a particular setup.
Password: A user-defined access code for entry into secure areas of the user software.
Password protection: Enables lock-out of weld parameter modification by using a user-defined password.
Peak Power Cutoff: A power value that terminates the ultrasonics when peak power is not the primary con-
trol mode.
Peak Power Mode: A mode of operation in which ultrasonics are terminated at a user-specified power value
in percentage of maximum.
Peak Power: A weld mode in which obtaining a power value (percentage of full power) will cause
the ultrasonic energy to terminate.
Pneumatic Air Prep: This is a panel that mounts the cutoff valve, the slow start valve, the regu-
lator and the two filters that are normally located in the actuator. This panel is required for instal-
lations where the actuator is not positioned in a vertical plane, or is used without a Branson
actuator support.
Post Weld Seek: A low level (5%) amplitude running of the Power Supply after hold or afterburst for the
purpose of storing a frequency to memory.
Power Graph: A graph of power in percentage of maximum plotted against time.
Preset: User-stored parameters constituting a weld setup. Saved in non-volatile memory in the
power supply, can be recalled for quick Setup of the system.
Preset name: The ability to name a preset in customer-defined terms.
Pretrigger: The setting that causes ultrasonics to start before contact with the part.
Pretrg Amp: The amplitude at the converter during pretrigger.
Pretrg @ D: The distance at which pretrigger is turned on.
Print Data/Graphs: Using the optional printer, shows a list of data reports and graphs that can
be printed by the user.
Print on Alarm: Allows the user to set up printing automatically when an alarm occurs.
Print on Sample: Allows the user to set up printing automatically based on the number of cycles performed.
Rapid Traverse/RAPID TRAV: Allows fast actuator descent to a user-defined point, before the
Downspeed value is applied for control during the stroke.
Ready Position: State in which the welder is retracted and ready to receive the start signal.
