System Overview
Your iQ SeriesUltrasonic Power Supply AL, an ultrasonic generator, provides a versatile stand-alone workstation.
This product’s rugged internal circuitry ensures a continuous resonant frequency lock at the start of each weld.
Standard to this line of generators are time and energy
control. 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 exibility.
The generator also includes an RFI line lter that passes
strict CE test specications for global applications.
Key Features
Trigger by Power is a Dukane patented feature that
•
produces greater weld consistency by requiring that
a sufcient amount of pressure/force is applied to the
part before the actual weld begins. Trigger by Power is
a cost effective alternative to trigger by force because
it does not require additional, expensive components
such as a load cell, amplier board or cabling.
vides consistent system performance regardless
of line voltage uctuations. It also eliminates the
need for bulky, external constant–voltage transformers.
Load Regulation provides constant amplitude
•
automatically regardless of power draw. The ultrasonic output amplitude level is held to within
±1% to provide weld process consistency and reduced 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 systems are optionally available to operate on the
120VAC line voltage level.
Multiple Electronic Overload protec-
•
tion circuits prevent instantaneous component failure in the event of extreme output overload conditions, and rated overload
power limit is based on the actual true RMS
power output level.
Compact Generator is small and easily moved, and
•
this allows your table or work bench to accommodate
more of the items needed for your process.
Pulse Width Modulation incorporates patented
•
circuitry giving the power supply the ability to
efciently change the output amplitude. This makes
it possible to start large horns with reduced power. It
also provides more power efcient switch-mode generator 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.
Line Voltage Regulation automatically maintains
•
constant amplitude regardless of line voltage deviation. The available output power is maintained with
any voltage input within the specied range. This pro-
CE Certication means that the system meets
•
the required European standards to be sold and
used in Europe.
ISO 9001 Certication means that this system
•
has been manufactured to high quality standards
and assures you of manufacturing excellence.

General Considerations
Please observe these health and safety recommendations for
safe, efcient, and injury-free operation of your equipment.
In this manual, the term system refers to a complete group
of components associated with the welding of plastic or
metal parts, also known as an ultrasonic assembly system.
A typical system consists of a generator and/or ultrasonic
process controller, start and stop switches, power controls,
connecting cables, and the probe assembly which includes
the transducer, booster, horn and replaceable horn tip.
Proper Installation - Operate system components only
after they are properly installed and checked.
No Unauthorized Modications - Do not modify your
system in any way unless authorized to do so by the man-
ufacturer. Unauthorized modications may cause injury
to the operator and/or equipment damage. In addition,
unauthorized modications will void the equipment warranty.
Keep the Cover On - Do not remove any equipment cover unless specically directed to do so by the manufacturer. The generator produces hazardous electrical voltages
which could cause injury.
Grounded Electrical Power - Operate this equipment
only with a properly grounded electrical connection.
annoying or uncomfortable

How to Lift Safely
• Before lifting, take a moment to think about what
you’re about to do.
• Examine the object for sharp corners, slippery spots
or other potential hazards. Know your limit and don’t
try to exceed it.
• Ask for help if needed, or if possible, divide the load
to make it lighter.
177.71
Section 3 – Installation
CAUTION
Ta k e c a r e i n l i f t ing the equipment. We
recommend using a mechanical lift device to assist.
• Know where you are going to set the item down, and
make sure it and your path are free of obstructions.
Then follow these steps:
Step 1. Stand close to the load with your feet
spread apart about shoulder width, with
one foot slightly in front of the other for
balance.
Step 2. Squat down bending at the knees (not your
waist). Tuck your chin while keeping your
back as vertical as possible.
Step 3. Get a rm grasp of the object before be-
ginning the lift. Begin slowly lifting with
your LEGS by straightening them. Never
twist your body during this step.
Step 4. Once the lift is complete, keep the object
as close to the body as possible. As the
load’s center of gravity moves away from
the body, there is a dramatic increase in
stress to the lumbar region of the back.
Step 5. If you must turn while carrying the load,
turn using your feet-not your torso. To
place the object below the level of your
waist, follow the same procedures in reverse order. Remember, keep your back
as vertical as possible and bend at the
knees.

Unpacking
Carefully open your shipping container, and make sure
it contains the items shown on the shipping documents.
Inspect all items, and report any missing items or damage
immediately.
Placement
Make certain generator placement and cable routing do
not interfere with normal operation. Maintain easy access
to your equipment.
The operator should have unobstructed access to cables
and wiring.
RFI Grounding
Proper grounding for the generator chassis is essential
for the effective suppression of electrical noise or
RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). Every ultrasonic
generator contains a RFI lter that blocks noise on the
AC power line from entering the system control circuitry.
This lter also prevents ultrasonic frequency noise from
being fed back into the AC power line. For the RFI lter
to operate effectively, it is necessary to correctly ground
the system.
Connect a grounding wire from the grounding stud
connection (see Figure 3-1) to the nearest grounded metal
pipe or equivalent earth ground.
See Connecting Cables on the next page.
CAUTION
To m i n i m i z e e l e c t r i cal noise and eliminate
ground currents, ground
the chassis as shown.
Use a STAR conguration
(illustrated below). Do not
DAISY CHAIN the grounds.
NOTE
Chassis Grounding Stud
The chassis grounding stud is used to attach
a protective earth ground to the generator.
This will aid in the suppression of electrical
interference or radio frequency interference
(RFI) that is common in a industrial environment. Stud location is shown in Figure 3-3
on the following page.
Dukane Manual Part No. 403-583-00
