Amplitude Step A change in amplitude during the ultrasonic portion of the cycle.
Authority Check Enables Authority level functions and menus.
Auto Scale Graph
When turned on, the graph will be auto scaled, when off allows X
Scale to set scale.
Automatic
A pretrigger condition indicating that pretrigger engages when the
actuator leaves the upper limit switch.
Automation
Used in automation when an operator log in is not required. When
in automation, weld setup and configuration menus are disabled.
Basic/Expert
Expert (default) allows access to all functions and menus of the
welder. Basic limits the configuration and weld setup menus to a
minimum number.
Batch Setup Controls how many parts will be welded in a batch.
Beep
An audible signal produced by the Branson control board. Used to
alert the operator to an unexpected condition or that trigger has
been reached.
Booster
A one-half wavelength long resonant metal section mounted
between the converter and horn, usually having a change in cross-
sectional area between the input and output surfaces. Mechanically
alters the amplitude of vibration at the driving surface of the
converter.
Cal Actuator
Calibrate Actuator. Menus to guide the user through actuator
calibration; distance can be verified.
Cal Sensor
The menu title for accessing the calibration and verification of
pressure and force.
Clamping Force The pressure exerted by the horn on the workpiece.
Cold Start
A condition that restores a setup to its default values. Note: Use
Carefully.
Collapse Distance
The distance the horn has traveled from the trigger point of
ultrasonics.
Collapse Mode
A mode in which the ultrasonics portion of the cycle is terminated
when a user-specified distance from the trigger point has been
reached.
Components
Verify
Verification, before running a weld, that the system configuration’s
system components and the weld preset’s system components
match.
Control Limits
Additional parameters that determine the end of the ultrasonic
portion of the cycle and the move to the hold state.
Converter
The device that converts electrical energy into mechanical
vibrations at a high frequency (an ultrasonic rate). The converter is
a central component of the welding system and is mounted in the
actuator.
