21.1 After Pulse Time


The AFTER PULSE TIME is used to shake of a part that is sticking on the horn after welding.

21.2 After Pulse Delay Time


The AFTER PULSE DELAY TIME is starting after the hold time. The after pulse time is to make sure that the horn
is no longer on the part before the after pulse is activated.

21.3 Amplitude
The amplitude is the movement on the horn surface. The amplitude is depending on the output power of the
power supply, Generator setting ( 60 – 100% ) Gain Booster und Gain of the horn. The amplitude is chosen
depending on the material to weld. The best amplitude to weld you can get from the supplier of the raw material.
The amplitude is measured in micro meter. The value is peak. Typical amplitude values are 10 – 60 micro meter.

21.5 Booster
The booster is amplifying the amplitude produced by the converter. The gain on the booster is fix. Standard
Booster : 1:1 = green, 1:1.5 = yellow; 1:2 = white, 1:2.5 = black, 1:3= brown. The booster is tuned to the resonant
frequency. Do not modify anything on the booster. Boosters are made of titanium or aircraft grade aluminum.
Make sure that the horn stud can not touch the bottom of the thread in the booster. Thread Converter = M16.
Thread Horn = M12.

21.6 Control Time


The control time is used in US- STOP and TRAVEL. If the sensor in US-Stop Mode ort he set travel in the travel
mode is not reached in the set time you will get an error. The welding will stop automatically after the control time is

21.7 Converter
The converter is transferring an electrical voltage to a mechanical vibration. The converter is tuned to resonant
frequency. Do not modify anything on the converter. The stud M16 is part of the converter an can not be taken off.
If the temperature on the converter body is reaching 50 degree Celsius you must use a cooling.

Too high temperature can destroy the converter.

21.8 Cutting of Synthetic Textiles


Cutting with Ultrasonic has the big advantage that you get a sealed edge after cutting. Compared to a cut with a hot
knife the cutting edge will stay soft. In most cases a flat horn is used against a cutting knife. In some case the horn
shape is built as a knife.

To reduce the wear of horn and knife the cutting is done in the US – STOP Mode. The knife is mounted insulated
from the press. A cable from the knife is connected with X3. The Ultrasonic’s will stop as the horn will touch the
knife.

21.9 Cutting of food


The cutting of food with ultrasonic has the advantage that you can get a clear cut. The build up of food on the knife
is reduced to a minimum.
The horn is designed to a knife.

Typical application : Cheese, Cake, Pizza, Pasta, Chocolate

21.10 Design of the welding line


It is very important that you have a good design of the welding area. Mostly there is an energy director design or
butt joint design. It is very important that you have sharp edges on the energy director and on butt joint. The sharp
edges will help to bring the energy into the part..

If you welding films or non woven then you do not need a joint design. In this case the horn has some lines or a
knurled surface. This surface will help to bring the energy into the part.

21.11 Emergency Stop


If you press the emergency stop button then the welding will stop and the power off the press will be shout down.
The 24V supply in the generator will switched off as well. In the display you will get the message EMERGENCY
STOP.

21.12 Hold Time


The horn will stay under pressure on the part during the hold time. The hold time is used to cool off the welded part.
If the hold time is to short you might get a bad welding result.

21.13 Horn ( Sonotrode )


The horn or Sonotrode is the welding tool. The horn is tuned to the resonant frequency. Modification should only be
done by trained stuff. Wrong modification can end in destroying the horn or the generator. Horns are made of
titanium, aircraft grade aluminum or harden steel. The stud on the horn is M12. The stud is part of the horn and can
not be removed. The shape of the horn is influencing the welding result.

21.14 Overload
In case of an overload then the generator does not have enough output power.

To reduce the power consumption you can reduce the pressure or the amplitude. If this does not help you need to
use a generator with more output power.
.

21.15 Parts Counter


The parts counter is counting the good welds. In case of an error the Reject counter will count it.

21.16 Problems with the welding


Bad welding can have many reasons.

 Wrong design of the welding area


 Wrong raw material
 Recycled material
 Too much water in the part
 Too much glass in the part
 Too much other additive in the part
 Wrong amplitude
 Bad amplitude on the horn surface, not even
 Jig does not support the part well
 Wrong welding parameter
 Pressure to high

21.17 Power
The output power is displayed on the LED bar on the front panel. After the welding the maximum power is shown
with one LED. In the LCD display you see maximum power and the power at the end of the welding.

21.18 Power Maximum


In the force profile menu you can set a maximum power value. If this value is reached the welding pressure will be
reduced to the set pressure automatically. This will help to reduce the risk to get an overload of the generator.
Mostly you with semi crystalline material that need a high trigger force.

21.19 Service Program


In the service program you test all inputs and outputs of the generator. This must be done by trained stuff only.

21.20 Speed Reduction Valve


In a press with a linear encoder you can activate the speed reduction valve over a set travel. The value can be set
in the SPECIAL FUNCTION MENU. The valve must be connected at Output 2 PIN 8 of ST 5 on the trigger board
TIP 002..
In a press without linear encoder you have to add an extra switch to the press. The switch must be connected to
ST8 on the trigger board TIP002. The valve must be connected to the ST9 on the trigger board TIP002. The trigger
board TIP002 is inside of the press.

21.21 Speed Throttle


The setting of the Speed throttle is influencing the horn down speed. The down speed has influence to the welding
result.

21.22 Ultrasonic Trigger


The Trigger will start the ultrasonic. The trigger can be a timer or a pressure sensor. This can be set in the
SYSTEM INIT Menu. In case of the timer, the delay time will start after reaching the safety switch. In case of a
pressure sensor the welding will start after the safety switch and the set pressure is reached. The trigger is
influencing the welding result.

21.23 Welding
The welding will be influenced by the following parameters.

 Amplitude
 Pressure
 Down Speed
 Trigger
 Weld Time

The weld time is depending on the set welding mode.

21.24 Welding Modes


The generator is supporting different welding modes. The welding parameters are depending on the set mode.

 Time Mode set Weld Time


 US Stop Mode by external sensor
 US Stop Mode Cutting of synthetic fabrics
 Hand continuous

21.25 Welding continuous


Welding of Films, Textiles, Non Woven and coated Carton. In the continuous welding you can have a fix horn or a
rotating horn. The anvil is either fix or rotating too.
With continuous welding you can be waterproof and airtight seals.

Typical application : Filter, outdoor cloths, awnings

21.26 Welding of rigid Parts


Welding of two rigid part. The pars must be designed for Ultrasonic Welding. The parts will have an energy director
or a shear joint. Both parts should be made with the same material. In some case similar materials can be welded.

Typical applications : Welding of Display window on Mobile Phone, Welding of cigarette

21.27 Welding Staking


In staking the lower part must have a pin coming out of the part. The upper part has a hole. The pin is overlooking
the hole of the upper part. The pin will be welded down by the horn to a rivet. The upper part can be any material.

Typical applications : Door panel of car, Bumper of car, IP of car
