Peak Power
A weld mode in which obtaining a power value (percentage of full
power) will cause the ultrasonic energy to terminate.
Peak Power Cutoff
A power value that terminates the ultrasonics when peak power is
not the primary control mode.
Plus Limit
The user-defined upper limit. See Control Limits, Suspect, Reject
and Missing Part Limits.
Pneumatic Air
Prep
This is a panel that mounts the cutoff valve, filter, and slow start
valve that are normally located in the actuator. This panel is
required for installations where the actuator is not positioned in a
vertical plane, or is used without a Branson actuator support.
Post Weld Seek
Used to determine the operating frequency of the Stack, after the
Hold and/or Afterburst portion of the weld cycle. Ultrasonics are
run at a low level (5%) amplitude during this step, and the
frequency is stored 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 Barcode
Start
The character set for the Preset Barcode Start will indicate a preset
is to be recalled. The number following the character indicates
which preset number. Example; Preset Barcode Start = P indicates
if a barcode reader sees the letter P as the first character of a
barcode, it will recall a preset based on the number after P on the
barcode.
Preset Name The ability to name a preset in customer-defined terms.
Presets, External
Selection
Presets can be changed externally using 5 user inputs on the user
Pressure Limits Minimum and Maximum weld pressure limits.
Pressure Step
A change in weld pressure during the ultrasonic portion of the
cycle. Pressure A must be less or equal to Pressure B.
Pretrg @ D The distance at which pretrigger is turned on.
Pretrig Amp
Pretrigger Amplitude. The amplitude at the horn face during
pretrigger.
Pretrigger
The setting that causes ultrasonics to start before contact with the
part (or, before the set Trigger Force has been met).
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 to the home position and
ready to receive the start signal, ready to operate.
Recall Preset
Allows a user to activate a preset from memory for purposes of
operation or modification.
