2.4 Controls and Indicators
• S-Beam Load Cell: Provides an indication of the force on a part during a weld. This indication
can be used to determine when to trigger ultrasonics and also to produce a force/distance graph
of the operating cycle
The front panel controls on the 2000X aed Actuator are listed below.
• Power Light: Indicates that the Actuator is connected to the Power Supply and that the Power
Supply’s main power is on
• Pressure Gauge: Indicates the amount of factory air pressure applied to the cylinder; dual
graduated at 0-100 psi and 0-700 kPa
• Pressure Regulator: Adjust the amount of air pressure applied to the cylinder; range of 5-100
psig (35-700 kPa). Pull to set; push to lock
• Downspeed Control: Downspeed knob controls the rate of descent and force buildup on the
part to be welded
• Carriage Door: Provides access to the converter-booster-horn stack; secured by four captive
hex screws. Use a M5 T-handle wrench to tighten the cap screws for the 2000X aed Actuator. Use
a M8 T-handle wrench to tighten the cap screws for the 2000X aed 15 kHz Actuator
• Mechanical Stop: Limits the stroke length to prevent the horn from contacting the fixture when
no workpiece is in place; adjustment is approximately 0.07 in. (1.75 mm) per rotation for the
2000X aed 15 kHz Actuator; adjustment is approximately 0.04 in. (1 mm) per rotation for 2000X
Actuator; a locking ring keeps the setting from vibrating loose. Turning the knob clockwise
increases the stroke length. There is an indicator on the side to provide a relative distance
NOTICE
The mechanical stop is not intended for welding by distance.
CAUTION
Turning the mechanical stop too far can cause it to come apart.
