7.1 Actuator Controls
This section describes how to operate a weld cycle using the 2000Xc Actuator. For more
detailed information on making and altering settings, refer to your 2000Xc Power Supply
manual.
The 2000Xc Actuator is controlled by the Power Supply. The Actuator sends operating
cycle data (such as velocity and force), status information, and alarm information to the
Power Supply. The Power Supply sends operating parameters to the Actuator, determining
how and when weld cycles are initiated and terminated. The Actuator passes distance,
force, and pressure information continuously to the Power Supply. Refer to Chapter 6:
Power Supply Operation for tuning, testing, setup, and operating instructions.
DANGER
When setting up and operating the Actuator, observe the following
precautions:
• Keep hands away from under the horn. Down force (pressure) and
ultrasonic vibrations can cause injury
CAUTION
Plastic parts can vibrate within the audible frequency range when
welded. If this occurs, use hearing protectors to prevent possible
injury. Do not allow the ultrasonically activated horn to touch a metal
base or a metal fixture.
DANGER
When using larger horns, avoid situations where fingers could be
pinched between the horn and the fixture. Contact Branson for
information on an optional guard.
