Chapter 2: Introduction to the 2000X ao Actuator
Glossary of Terms
General Alarm:
An alarm that occurs due to system fault and/or tripping a limit.
Ground Det. Cutoff:
Ground Detect Cutoff. Immediately
terminates the weld process, includ-
ing the hold step, when a ground detect has occurred.
Gnd Det. Mode:
Ground Detect Mode, available in all models of 2000X power supplies. In this
mode of operation, ultrasonics are terminated after detection of a ground condition between the
horn and fixture or anvil.
Hand Held System:
Operation using a manual trigger. Sometimes used in automated systems
when the solenoid valve will not be activated and only one start switch is needed to initiate a
cycle.
Hold Force:
The force on the part during the hold portion of the cycle.
Hold Time:
The duration of the hold step.
Horn Down:
A mode in which ultrasonics are locked out and the user can advance the Actuator
for setup and alignment.
Linear Encoder:
Provides carriage (horn) distance measurement during the Actuator cycle.
Lines per Page:
When using an optional Printer, the number of welds per printed page.
Load Cell:
Provides force measurement for accurate ultrasonic triggering and graphing of
force.
Main Menu:
The list of categories of features available in the software, as displayed on
the front panel of the Power Supply. Accessible by using a power supply front-panel button.
Max Energy:
Maximum Energy. The maximum user-specified energy that produces a part with-
out an alarm.
Min Energy:
Minimum Energy. The minimum user-specified energy that produces a part with-
out an alarm.
Minus Limit:
The user-defined lower limit, or lower extreme of an acceptable range for a given
parameter. See Control Limits in the Power Supply manual.
Missing Part:
Returns the actuator to the home position and displays an alarm indicating that
the cycle was aborted because no part was present.
Parameter Range:
Valid range of parameters accepted for a particular setup.
Parameter Step:
Ability to dynamically change either amplitude or force during the weld cycle.
Password:
A user-defined access code for the secure areas of the Power Supply’s user controls.
Password Protection:
Enables lock-out of the Power Supply’s weld parameter modification by
using a user-defined password.
Peak Power Cutoff:
A power value that terminates the ultrasonics when peak power is not the
primary control mode.
Pk Pwr Mode:
Peak Power Mode. A mode of operation in which ultrasonics are terminated at
a user-specified power value in percentage of maximum.
Plus Limit:
The user-defined upper limit. See Control Limits, Suspect, Reject and Missing
Part Limits in the Power Supply manual.
