WSX-20
Ultrasonic Metal Welding
Assembly Systems
A full-range, fully programmable, and remarkably
economical wire splicing system
Instantly adjustable parameters. More precise
and reliable splices. And a whole lot more!
WSX-20 Ultrasonic Splicing System
• Capable of splicing from

• Flexibly designed
bench top unit can
be mounted in a
workstation table
• Automatically adjus
parameters and par
• Uniquely designed 4-lobe keyed tip and 4-surface
anvil provides longer tool life – and the lowest maintenance
cost in the industry!
• Replaceable tip technology provides high tool life at low cost
• P atented vertical stacking design prevents side splicing, a major
cause of field failures
• Patented closed-loop amplitude control helps ensure weld
consistency

• 20 kHz Ultrasonic Generator with Three
Teach Modes – Automatically calculates
your weld quality windows for Time, Power,
Pre-Height and Height.
• Four Weld Modes – Weld by Energy, Time,
Height (compaction), and Energy with
Height Compensation.
• Extensive Preset Library – Stores configu-
ration data for up to 1,000 parts for sequential
welding capability.
• Weld History – Weld results and graph are
stored on the hard drive in a date-stamped
folder and can be sent as needed via Ethernet.
Patented Anti-Side-Splice Feature
• Prevents Side Spicing – One of the most common causes of
poor splices and field failure. When operators place the wires flat
on the tip (as shown in Figure 1a), only the tangent point of each
cable can be welded together.
• Vertical Stacking Fixes the Problem – By allowing operators to
vertically stack the wires (as shown in Figure 1b), a consistently
high-quality splice is ensured. The WSX-20 is the only ultrasonic
splicing system to offer this critical feature.

• Patented Amplitude Stepping – Built-in
digital amplitude control for optimization of
weld strength and aluminum welding.
See Figure 2.

• 15˝ (381 mm) LCD Touch Monitor –
Enables intuitively easy system navigation with
fingertip control. See Figure 3.
• Embedded Windows XP Operating System –
Minimizes the learning curve, so you can be up
and running sooner.
• Ethernet-Ready – For quick and easy dissemi-
nation of welding data.
• USB Connectivity – 4 USB ports and printer
interface allow peripheral devices to be easily
connected and facilitate file transfer.
• R S232 Connection – For easy interfacing with
Raychem shrink tube machine.
Power Supply
• True Auto-Tune with Memory (AT/M) –
Provides fully-automatic tuning and stores
horn frequency at the end of each weld.
• T otal Amplitude Control – Utilizing
Branson’s power supply technology, you have
complete control of amplitude throughout
the weld cycle: programmable starting ramp,
digital setting of weld amplitude and
patented amplitude stepping. See Figure 2.
• Progr ammable 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 smaller horns.

• Supports Multiple Languages – Including English, French,
German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, traditional and
simplified Chinese.
• Bar Code Readable – Automatically recalls presets or sequences
as specified on the bar code label. Helps reduce welding errors.
Figure 4
• Line/Load Regulation – Patented closed-loop amplitude control
corrects for variations due to power line fluctuations and varying
load conditions. Output amplitude will vary by only ±2% with line
voltage variations of ±10%, to ensure weld consistency. See Figure 4.
