6.1 Actuator Controls
This section describes how to operate a weld cycle using the 2000X aed Actuator. For more
detailed information on making and altering settings, refer to your 2000X-series Power
Supply manual.
The 2000X aed 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 while in Setup mode.
Refer to your 2000X-series Power Supply manual for tuning, testing, setup, and operating
instructions.
WARNING
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
• 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
WARNING
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.
