Chapter 2: Introduction to the 2000X ao Actuator
Features of the System
•
Background Printing:
This feature allows you to print the results of the previous
cycle while performing a new cycle.
•
Suspect Limits:
A class of user-definable alarms that alert you if a part falls into a
range that you have determined should be inspected.
•
Reject Limits:
A class of user-definable alarms that alert you if a part falls into a
range that you classified as reject parts.
•
Process Alarm Display Showing Actual and Set Values:
When an alarm
condition has occurred, you can view the value for the last weld and the suspect and
reject settings you programmed into the controls.
•
Post Weld Seek:
This system feature provides a short burst of energy at the end of
the weld Hold and Afterburst steps to automatically retune the power supply, if
required.
•
Frequency Offset:
This process feature allows a user to set a frequency value, for
certain specific applications, where the force imparted on the fixture or anvil causes
a frequency shift in the Stack’s operation. You should only use this feature when
advised to do so by Branson.
•
1 Millisecond Control and Sampling Rate:
This feature provides sampling and
control of the weld process 1000 times each second
.
•
Parallel Port:
The Power Supply allows the connection of a dot-matrix Printer to
print weld results data.
•
Cycle Time and Date Stamp:
The 2000a Power Supply provides each cycle with a
time and date stamp for production and quality control purposes.
•
English (USCS)/Metric Units:
This feature allows the welder to be set up in the
local units in use.
•
Startup Diagnostics:
At power supply startup, the controls test the major system
components, including the Actuator and its controls.
•
Weld Parameter Entry through Digital Keypad:
User Setup is direct and easy, by
selecting the menu parameter by name and using the keypad to enter the precise
value. The controls also support entry by incrementing existing values.
•
System Information Screen:
This is a screen that will give you information about
your welding system (e.g., cylinder size, stroke length, number of cycles). Refer to
this screen when contacting Branson for service and support.
•
Feature Advanced or Normal:
To simplify the menus the 2000a Power Supply can
be set to Normal. When it is set to Normal, many of the advanced and sophisticated
features are unavailable.
•
Sequencing of Presets:
In automated applications or where more than one weld is
to be performed on a part, you can establish a sequence of presets that can be run.
This eliminates the need to add outside controls for the selection
of presets.
•
Ramp Starting:
The starting of the 2000X-series apower supply and horn is done at
the optimum rate to reduce electrical and mechanical stress on the system. This also
helps make some tough-to-start applications possible.
•
True Wattmeter:
The controls on the power supply include a true wattmeter for
accurate measurement of power and energy.
•
Downspeed:
Controls the rate of descent and force build-up on the part.
