6.1 Weld Modes
The 2000IW has one weld mode, Time. The IW+ has three weld modes.
• Time mode - use when cycle time repeatability is critical
• Collapse Distance mode - use where material displacement is important
• Absolute Distance mode - use when final dimensions are critical
6.1.1 Modifying Weld Modes
Weld modes can be modified by setting parameters for further control over the weld cycle.
You can also set limits that you can compare with actual values for monitoring and greater
weld accuracy. In addition, you can set ultrasonics to start on the trigger switch (TRS) or
to be pretiggered. You can also adjust the carriage’s down speed. Refer to Section 6.1.2
Using Weld Modes for details on how to apply the features.
6.1.1.1Parameters
Weld modes can be controlled from the front panel by adjusting Time, Collapse and
Absolute Distance parameters, depending on the selected mode (and if available in your
WARNING General Warning
When setting up and operating the welder, observe the following
precautions.
1. High voltage is present. Do not operate with covers open or
removed.
2. To prevent the possibility of electric shock, make sure that the
welder if properly grounded.
3. Do not touch a vibrating horn.
4. Large plastic workpieces may vibrate within the audible frequency
range when welded. If this occurs, use hearing protectors to prevent
possible injury.
5. Do not press the TEST switch or cycle the machine when the
converter is removed from the welder.
6. When using larger horns, avoid situations where fingers could be
pinched between the horn and the fixture.
CAUTION General Warning
Do not allow an ultrasonically activated horn to touch a metal base or
a metal fixture.
