2.6 Glossary of Terms
The following terminology may be encountered when using a 2000X-series ultrasonic
welding system. Some of these terms may not be available in all Controls (Power Supply
model) configurations:
Table 2.2 Glossary of Terms
Name Description
AB Amplitude The amplitude at the horn face during the afterburst step.
AB Delay
Time delay between the end of the hold and the start of
an afterburst.
AB Time The duration of the afterburst.
Abort Current Printing Terminates the current printing request.
Absolute Cutoff
Ends the ultrasonic portion of the cycle when the set
absolute distance is reached.
Absolute Distance
The distance the horn has traveled from home (ULS
deactivation).
Absolute Mode
A mode in operation in which the ultrasonic portion of the
cycle is terminated when a user-specified distance from
home has been reached.
Absolute Position
The position of the actuator after clearing the Upper Limit
Switch (home position).
Actual
A reported value that occurred during the weld cycle. The
converse is the set parameter that was requested during
the setup.
Afterburst
Ultrasonic energy applied after the hold step. Used to
break away sticking parts from the tooling.
Alarm Beeper
An audible signal that sounds when a general alarm has
occurred.
Amplitude
The peak-to-peak movement at the horn face. Always
expressed as a percentage of the maximum.
Amp A
The amplitude applied to the part from the start of the
weld to the end of the weld.
Amp B
The amplitude applied to the part from the step change
to the end of the weld.
Amplitude Graph A graph of amplitude percentage plotted against time.
Amplitude Step
A change in amplitude during the ultrasonic portion of the
cycle.
Amp Control
The ability to set amplitude digitally or by an external
control.
Automatic
A pretrigger condition indicating that pretrigger engages
when the actuator leaves the upper limit switch.
