Baud Rate
The rate of data transmission over the serial
communication port.
Beep
An audible signal produced by the Branson control board.
Used to alert the operator to an unexpected condition.
Booster
A one-half wavelength long resonant metal section
mounted between the converter and horn, usually having
a change in cross-sectional area between the input and
output surfaces. Mechanically alters the amplitude of
vibration at the driving surface of the converter.
Cold Start A condition that restores a setup to its default values.
Collapse Distance
The vertical distance your part will be collapsed before
termination of ultrasonics.
Collapse Mode
A mode of operation in which the weld is terminated
when the part has been collapsed by a user specified
distance.
Control Limits
Additional parameters that determine the end of the
ultrasonic portion of the cycle and the move to the hold
state.
Converter
The device that converts the electrical energy into
mechanical vibrations at a high frequency (an ultrasonic
rate). The converter is a central component of the
welding system and is mounted in the Actuator.
Counters
A record of the number of cycles run by category, for
example, alarms, good parts, and so on, recorded on the
Power Supply.
Digital Filter
A smoothing technique used to provide more meaningful
data.
Down Speed
The user-definable speed of descent (percentage of
maximum speed) during the down stroke of the Actuator.
Energy Mode
A mode of operation in which ultrasonics are terminated
at a user-specified energy value.
External Amplitude Control
Enables you to access real-time amplitude control
directly.
External Frequency Control
Enables you to access real-time frequency control
directly.
Form Feed
When using a printer with the 2000Xd Power Supply, a
form feed is inserted after print setup or print graph, or
after the number of lines per page is reached.
Frequency
The operating frequency of the ultrasonic stack. The
frequency stored is measured at the end of the ultrasonic
portion of the cycle (when ultrasonics are terminated).
