UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

NOTE: We recommend keeping all carton(s) and packing material in case it might be necessary to move the equipment, or to ship it for repair.

Before unpacking the equipment, check the shipping carton for any visible damage. If you see any, be sure to follow the procedures described below under “Visible Loss or Damage.” Otherwise, proceed to remove the equipment from the carton. Before storing any packing material, check it carefully for small parts. Then perform a visual inspection of the equipment to detect any evidence of damage which might have occurred during shipment. Check the following:

1.all components against the enclosed packing list,

2.all module plug-in units,

3.all wire plug-in connections.

The equipment was carefully packed and thoroughly inspected before leaving our factory. All units are tested and checked for problems prior to shipping. It is asked that when a problem does occur that all parts and components be inspected for damage (especially when the unit is not in working order when received). Responsibility for safe delivery was assumed by the carrier upon acceptance of the shipment. Claims for loss of damage sustained in transit must therefore be made upon the carrier, as follows:

VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE

Any external evidence of loss or damage must be noted on the freight bill or express receipt, and signed by the carrier’s agent. Failure to adequately describe such external evidence of loss or damage may result in the carrier’s refusal to honor a damage claim. The form required to file such a claim will be supplied by the carrier.

CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE

Concealed loss or damage means loss or damage which does not become apparent until the merchandise has been unpacked. The contents might have been damaged in transit due to rough handling even though the container may not show external damage. When the damage is discovered upon unpacking, make a written request for inspection by the carrier’s agent within 48 hours of the delivery date. Then file a claim with the carrier since such damage is the carrier’s responsibility. The form required to file such a claim will be supplied by the carrier. Do not destroy packing materials, or move material from one location to another before the carrier makes their inspection.

If the system or any unit is damaged, notify Sonics. Sonics will arrange for repair or replacement of damaged equipment without waiting for the claim against the carrier to be settled, provided a new purchase order is issued to cover the repair or replacement costs. Should any damage, shortage or discrepancy exist, please notify us immediately.

INTRODUCTION

The GXE power supply is an ultrasonic generator with automatic frequency tuning and a built-in Microprocessor that features time and energy controls. The Microprocessor is programmed with a multi-function keypad and information is displayed on the back-lit liquid crystal display (LCD). This power supply can be used with a pneumatic press or actuator, or with a stand-alone converter.

OVERVIEW OF ULTRASONIC PLASTICS ASSEMBLY

WHAT IS ULTRASONICS?

Ultrasonics refers to vibrational waves with a frequency above the human audible range which is usually above 18,000 cycles per second (Hz).

PRINCIPLE OF ULTRASONIC ASSEMBLY

The basic principle of ultrasonic assembly involves conversion of high frequency electrical energy to high frequency mechanical energy in the form of reciprocating vertical motion which, when applied to a thermoplastic, generates frictional heat at the plastic/plastic or plastic/metal interface. In ultrasonic welding, this frictional heat melts the plastic, allowing the two surfaces to fuse together; in ultrasonic staking or insertion, the controlled flow of molten plastic is used to capture or lock another material in place (staking) or encapsulate a metal insert (insertion).

ULTRASONIC ASSEMBLY SYSTEMS

Sonics ultrasonic assembly systems are generally composed of the following major elements: a power supply, converter, booster, horn, pneumatic press and holding fixture, as detailed in the diagram on the next page. A review of this diagram will help you understand the basic elements involved in the assembly process and their relation to each other.

GLOSSARY OF ULTRASONIC TERMS

POWER SUPPLY/GENERATOR – The solid state power supply converts standard 50/60 Hz electrical energy to 15,000 Hz, 20,000 Hz or 40,000 Hz (15/20/40 kHz) electrical energy.

ACTUATOR/WELDING PRESS – The pneumatic actuator provides compressive force and mounting for the converter, booster and horn assembly. The tabletop press consists of a base assembly, column and actuator (head).

CONVERTER – The converter changes the high frequency electrical energy supplied by the power supply to high frequency mechanical vibrations.

BOOSTER – Successful ultrasonic welding often depends on having the right amplitude at the horn face. Often it is not possible to design a horn which has both the necessary shape and required gain (ratios of input amplitude to output amplitude). In such cases, a booster is placed between the converter and the horn to either increase or decrease the amplitude of the horn. In addition to changing/maintaining the amplitude, the booster provides support and alignment in the welding system.

HORN – The horn is a tuned component of the system which comes in contact with the parts to be assembled. The horn 1) transfers the ultrasonic vibrations produced from the converter to the parts being welded, and 2) applies necessary force to the assembly while the material resolidifies.

HOLDING FIXTURE – The holding fixture or nest assures proper alignment and support of the parts being assembled.

INSTALLATION

The line cord of the controller/power supply is equipped with a 3- prong, grounding plug. Do not, under any circumstances, remove the ground prong. The plug must be plugged into a mating 3-prong, grounding type outlet.

NOTE: If power supply is to be run continuously, air cooling of the converter and horn is required. Use clean, dry compressed air filtered down to 5 microns (supplied to converter fitting – see page 13).

ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS

The power supply requires a fused, single-phase, standard 3-terminal grounding type receptacle capable of supplying the requisite voltage and current. Refer to the table below for power specification.

SETTING UP

The power supply is a free-standing assembly. It should be installed in a clear, uncluttered location that is free from excessive dirt, dust, corrosive fumes, and temperature and humidity extremes. The selected installation site should be near the electrical power source and away from equipment that generates abnormally high electrical transients. Observe the following additional instructions when installing the equipment:

a.Allow at least 6 inches (152.4mm) at the rear of the power supply for cable connections.

b.Position the power supply so that the front panel controls are visible and readily accessible.

c.The power supply is air cooled; allow sufficient space around the assembly to ensure adequate ventilation. If the power supply must be housed in a confined space, forced air cooling may be necessary to keep surrounding air within acceptable ambient temperature limits. Periodically check the ventilation grille and clean as necessary.

OPERATING PROCEDURES

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

Located on the front panel of the power supply are the following controls and indicators:

1.ON/OFF keys which turn the unit on and off.

2.LCD SCREEN which displays various settings, parameters and prompts as detailed in the following pages. In addition, during the weld process it displays a load meter indicator showing the power level of ultrasonics that is being delivered to the welding press (see #3 below).

3.LOAD METER SCALE from 0 to 100% which (in conjunction with vertical line indicators on LCD display) shows the running power (bar graph at bottom of display) and peak power (single vertical line at top of display) during the weld. Peak power is reported as %Pmax after the cycle (see page 17).

4.TIME key which allows selection and display of time settings and permits adjustment of time duration in .01 second increments (from 00.00 to 99.99 seconds) for five time parameters as follows:

a.Weld time

b.Hold Time

c.Delay time

d.Afterburst Time

e.Time Limit Low

f.Time Limit High

For a complete explanation of these parameters, refer to page 20.
