Maintenance Counters and Limits Screen
Maintenance counters and limits are related. Both are set using the above screen. A
maintenance counter will increment after each weld cycle up to the limit values set by the
user. When a limit is exceeded the controller will issue a warning the next time it is turned
on. Maintenance counters and limits may be reset at will. Any maintenance counter value
which is less than its corresponding set limit value does not produce a warning on startup.
The top four values on the screen for tip, anvil, tool-1 and tool-2 are set in kilo joule units.
Example: if the energy weld setting in use is 1500 joules, a limit setting of 7500 kilo joules
will produce about 5000 cycles before reaching its limit.
The tool-1 and tool-2 counters may be used to represent any special fixture tooling.
The bottom four values on the screen for horn, converter, generator (ultrasonic power
supply), and actuator are set in number of cycles.
If a limit is set to 0 it will not yield a warning regardless of the maintenance count.
Press one of the following options for this screen:
ANY BUTTON
That you wish to set counter or limit values for. See 5.35 Typical Keypad Entry Screen.
EXIT
To return to Maintenance Menu. See 5.10 Maintenance Menu Screen.
