Welding Technology
Branson 2000X Series Leads the Way
in Digital, Adaptable, Precision-Control
Plastic Welding Technology.
Branson 2000X Series ultrasonic assembly systems offer
you a range of system models with varying process control
levels and functionalities to match your application needs.
Whether you choose our most fully featured 2000X d, the
advanced functionality of the 2000X ea, or the basic features of
our 2000X t, you are assured of robust reliable performance
and precision control.
In addition, the 2000X system’s power supply offers multiple
weld mode control levels (time, energy, peak power, distance,
and ground detect), three output ultrasonic frequencies
(20, 30 or 40 kHz), and the flexibility to combine with one of
several actuator options to create an ultrasonic assembly
system that reflects the precise level of performance, control,
and value your application needs.
The Br
anson 2000X Series can be adapted to automation systems
or as a stand-alone complete system in an assembly cell.
2000X Series Assembly System
Branson 2000X Standard Features
Power Supply and Process Control
• True Digital Autotune with Memory (AT/M) – Provides
fully-automatic tuning and stores horn frequency at the
end of each weld.
Total Amplitude Control – Utilizing Branson's digital
•
power supply technology, you have complete control
of amplitude throughout the weld cycle: programmable
starting ramp, digital setting of weld amplitude, and
energy braking.
Programmable Starting Ramp – Adjustable starting
•
ramps from 10 milliseconds to 1.0 second to accommodate starting characteristics of a wide range of horns.
This feature makes it easier to start more difficult horns.
When utilizing smaller horns, you can minimize the
starting ramp reducing cycle times.
Auto Seek – Automatically measures stack frequency
•
and stores it in memory. Five selectable Auto Seek
choices are available.
Energy Braking – A controlled stopping of the ultrasonic
•
stack. This feature eliminates the traditional “ring down”
of the stack creating a more consistent energy input into
the parts. Small horns can actually be stopped faster,
increasing throughput in high-speed automation.
Line / Load Regulation – Corrects for variations due
•
to power line fluctuations and varying load conditions
through Branson's closed-loop amplitude control.
Output amplitude is maintained with a variation of only
±2% with line voltage variations of ±10%, regardless of
load, improving weld consistency (Fig. 1).

a specific application.
Built-in Cycle Counters – Track production throughput

-
Self-diagnostics and Monitoring – Visual, audible, and
•
logic output alarms.
•
Multiple Weld Modes – Depending on the control level
selected, weld by time, peak power, energy, or distance
(absolute or collapse).
•
Selectable Pre-triggering – Auto, distance, and time.
System Protection Monitor (SPM) – Five levels of power
•
supply protection are provided: 1. Phasing, 2. Over
voltage, 3. Over current, 4. Over temperature, 5. Power
•
Automation Interface – Available for direct hookup with
PLCs and PCs. Required automation I/Os are provided
through a 24V DC logic interface.
