2.2 Overview of this Model
The 2000X aed Actuator is a compact, rigid unit designed for use in manual, semi-automated,
and automated ultrasonic welding systems. The Actuator can be mounted directly on an I-beam
(or similar machine frame), or it can be mounted on a column and base with start switches and
used in a manual or benchtop system. The Actuator is designed to be operated in an upright posi-
tion, but is capable of running horizontally or inverted. If you are mounting your equipment in
an inverted position, contact Branson for further recommendations. (See
The 2000X aed Actuator requires a 2000X distance Power Supply for power and control of the
Actuator’s operation and to provide ultrasonic power to the Converter in the Actuator.
