history data requirements exceed the maximum of 50 weld history data that can be stored
in the power supply. To download data and graphs, a memory stick must be inserted into
the USB port (or hub). Then activate the communication through the touch screen Main
Menu:
• Enter the System Configuration menu. Located on the first screen is the USB DATA button
• Once in this menu, you need to switch the USB to On
• Select the weld data or graphs you would like to download. When selecting these, the user has
the option of either downloading after a weld cycle (and at what interval, i.e., 1, 5, 20, 100, etc.)
and/or when an alarm takes place
The storage capacity of the memory stick will determine the number of cycles and graphs
the stick can hold. The data space required for each weld cycle is: 1.0 KB for weld data
and 1.35KB for each graph.
To view the stored data on a PC you may use Branson’s history utility program History.exe
(See the following section for further information).
6.2.6 Mechanical Stop
The Mechanical Stop affects the amount of downward travel the Actuator is allowed to
have, up to the full stroke length of the unit. the multi-turn knurled knob behind the
Stack, on the bottom of the Actuator, is the Mechanical Stop adjustment. The Mechanical
Stop knob is graduated to represent the stroke adjustment per turn. the adjustment is
0.025 inch (0.635 mm) per turn.
The Mechanical Stop is designed to stop the horn from contacting your Fixture in the event
your part is missing. It is not a precision measuring device, and it is usually not
recommended that this be used as a ‘collapse’ or other distance weld limiting device. The
“missing part” function can also be used to control critical horn to fixture distances.
Initially, set the mechanical stop to allow at least 1/4 inch of horn travel, but any distance
up to the full stroke length is suitable.
NOTICE
It is important to remember to turn off the USB feature prior to
removing the memory stick; an alarm will be generated if the stick is
simply removed.
