6.1 Actuator Controls
This section describes how to operate a weld cycle using the 2000X Micro Actuator. For
more detailed information on making and altering settings, refer to your 2000X-series
Power supply manual.
The 2000X Micro Actuator and Interface box are controlled by the Power Supply. The
Actuator and Interface Box send 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 Interface Box, determining how and when weld cycles are
initiated and terminated. The Actuator and Interface Box continuously pass distance, force
and pressure information to the Power Supply while in Setup mode. Refer to your 2000X-
series Power Supply manual for tuning, testing, setup, and operating instructions.
WARNING General 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
CAUTION Loud Noise Hazard
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 metal fixture.
WARNING General Warning
When using larger horns, avoid situations where fingers could be
pinched between the horn and the fixture.
