3.1 Introduction
The Branson 2000 Series Integrated Welders, IW and IW+ Models, are self-contained
ultrasonic plastics assembly systems that combine power supply, controls, indicators, and
welding stand in a compact bench unit. Its compact footprint conserves work space. It can
be used for ultrasonic welding, inserting, staking, spot welding, swaging, and degating
thermoplastic parts. It can be operated manually, semi-automated or automated systems.
The Integrated Welder’s control system is microprocessor-based, and controls the welding
process while providing a level of user interface through a membrane keypad and alpha-
numeric display. It employs fan-forced cooling is intended for vertical placement.
The front panel display and user controls are intended to be accessible from a comfortable
position for an end user (operator), which means that the unit should be installed
approximately 3 feet off the floor.
