iQ Series, Ultrasonic Hand Held Systems User’s Manual

System Overview

Your iQ Series Ultrasonic Hand Held System has two basic components: an ultrasonic generator, and a hand probe.

Generator

The generator is specifically designed for ultrasonic appli- cations using hand held probes. Using the available system control inputs and outputs, the generator provides a versa- tile stand-alone workstation.

This product’s rugged internal circuitry ensures a continu- ous resonant frequency lock at the start of each weld.

Standard to this line of generators is time and energy con- trol. The brightly lit display is easy to read. The menu structure makes programming simple, and the one-touch hot keys give the operator even more flexibility.

The generator’s compact size and its integrated hand grip make it easy to carry.

It also includes an RFI line filter that passes strict CE test specifications for global applications.

Hand Probes

The probes are perfect for manual spot welding, staking, cutting and inserting applications. Both the HP and PG (pistol grip) models include hangers so that when a probe is not needed it can be hung on a counterbalanced hook. Fittings for air-cooling are also standard on all probes.

Key Features

•Compact Generator means this component is easy to move, and there will be more space for other necessities on the table or work bench.

•Pulse Width Modulation incorporates patented circuitry giving the power supply the ability to efficiently change the output amplitude. This makes it possible to start large horns with reduced power. It also provides more power efficient switch-mode gen- erator operation and increased reliability.

•Linear Ramp Soft Start circuitry allows the acous- tic stack to ramp up to operating amplitude smoothly, minimizing the start-up surges and abnormal stress to the stack and generator.

•Digi-Trac Tuning tracks the resonant frequency of the

acoustic stack (horn, booster, transducer) and ad- justs the generator output frequency to match it. This is done for every weld cycle and eliminates the need to manually tune the generator.

•LineVoltage Regulation automatically maintains constant amplitude regardless of line voltage de- viation. The available output power is maintained with any voltage input within the specified range.

This provides consistent system performance re- gardless of line voltage fluctuations. It also elimi- nates the need for bulky, external constant–volt- age transformers.

•Load Regulation provides constant amplitude automatically regardless of power draw. The ul- trasonic output amplitude level is held to within ±1% to provide weld process consistency and re- duced weld cycle times.

•Industrial Line–Power Source means that standard systems will operate worldwide at all industrial high line voltage levels, whether it is 200VAC @60Hz in Japan, 240VAC @50Hz in Europe or 208VAC @60Hz in the United States. There are no internal transformer taps to change for worldwide operation. North American sys- tems are optionally available to operate on the 120VAC line voltage level.

• Multiple		Electronic		Overload	protec-
tion	circuits		prevent	instantaneous	com-
ponent	failure		in the	event of extreme out-

put overload conditions, and rated overload power limit is based on the actual true RMS power output level.

•Trigger by Power produces greater weld consis- tency by requiring that a sufficient amont of pres- sure/force is applied to the part before the actual weld begins.

•CE Certification means that the system meets the required European standards to be sold and used in Europe.

•ISO 9001 Certification means that this system has been manufactured to high quality standards and assures you of manufacturing excellence.
