fumes and/or gases that could be hazardous. Make sure
you have adequate ventilation whenever these plastics are
processed.

HAND PROBE Connector

Ultrasound Output
The ultrasound output connector used with this generator
is integrated into a D-Sub style connector. This connector
provides superior shielding of electrical noise. The output
connector mates with a fully shielded ultrasound cable
that is secured to the generator with two simple, reliable
thumbscrews.
The ultrasonic output from this connector (that drives the

attached ultrasonic load) is a very high AC voltage. At
high power levels there is high current, and the cable must
be securely attached to the hand probe for safe operation.
Only use original equipment ultrasound cables for safe
and reliable system operation.

This section of the manual helps the user become familiar
with the operating modes, and illustrates some typical
programming steps.
There are three welding modes available. These
correspond to the three ways in which the welder can be
used: Manual, Time, and Energy.
Select the Welding Mode

Manual - In MANUAL mode the operator controls
the weld cycle. The cycle starts when the operator presses
the hand probe’s trigger switch, and the ultrasonic signal
(U/S) activates. When the trigger switch is released,
the ultrasonic signal stops, and the cycle is complete.
(Manual mode is the default selection.)

during the weld cycle. [A maximum weld time must be
set when welding by energy. If the energy level is not
reached, the preset for time will determine when the U/S
is deactivated.] When the preset energy level is reached,
the U/S will be deactivated. The cycle starts when
the hand probe’s trigger switch is pressed, and U/S is
activated. When the programmed energy is reached, U/S
stops. The trigger switch must be held activated for the
entire welding cycle. Then it is released so that a new
weld cycle can begin.

Navigating Through the Modes

When the generator is first powered up, the default
operating mode is Manual, and Manual Weld is shown
at the top of the display as shown in Figure 5-1.

Amplitude Adjustment
Amplitude refers to the movement of the horn at its
workface. The higher the amplitude setting, the higher the
power output level will be at a particular pressure level.
Figure 5-9b HOLDTime - 2
Amplitude settings are given as a percent of the horn’s
nominal amplitude in the range of 20% to 100%. It
is typical to leave the amplitude setting at 100% for
maximum power output.
To adjust amplitude:
1. Press the AMP key. The screen will appear as in Figure

Theory of Operation
Plastic welding is the most common application of
ultrasonic assembly. To perform ultrasonic plastic
welding, the vibrating tip is brought into contact with CAUTION
one of the work pieces. Pressure is applied and ultrasonic Never use the hand probe if
energy travels through the material generating frictional the cable insulating jacket is

heat melts a molded ridge of plastic on one of the pieces
and the molten material flows between the two surfaces.
When the vibration stops, the material solidifies forming a
permanent bond.
Probe Configuration
A basic ultrasonic probe package consists of:
1. A probe which houses the transducer to convert the elec-
trical energy supplied by the generator into mechanical
vibrations.
2. A horn to transfer the mechanical vibrations from the
probe to the parts to be welded.
Optional components include special replaceable tips
which can be threaded on to the tip of the horn, and a
booster to amplify the mechanical vibrations of the horn.
A basic hand–held probe system is shown in Figure 6-2.
The hand probe is easily identified by its trigger actuator
and permanently attached cable. Normally a booster is not
used with a hand probe as this increases the length and Hand
weight and reduces its versatility. The optional threaded Probe
titanium tip can be used when the application calls for
a staking profile or a pointed spot weld. Replaceable
tips are not commonly used in high–volume production
environments.
Standard Custom
Horn Horn
Tip
Figure 6–2 Hand Probe, Horn and Tip

Ultrasonic Horn
The horn transfers the ultrasonic mechanical vibrations
(originating at the transducer in the probe housing) to
the plastic parts through direct physical contact. The
horn is precision machined and designed to vibrate at
either 20kHz, 30kHz, 35kHz, 40kHz, 50kHz or 70kHz.
The tuning is accomplished using electronic frequency
measurement. Inherent variations in material composition
prevent tuning by dimensional machining alone.
There are many different horn profile styles depending

upon the process requirements. Factors which affect
the horn design are the materials to be welded and the
method of assembly. Horns are usually constructed from
aluminum, hardened steel or titanium. As the frequency
increases, vibration amplitude typically decreases, but
internal stress in the horn increases. Higher frequencies
are used for delicate parts that cannot handle a lot of
amplitude. Some factors to keep in mind for high–
Probe
frequency (e.g. 40kHz) ultrasonic welding versus low–
Housing
frequency (e.g. 20kHz) ultrasonic welding are listed here.
1. Stress in the horn is higher at high frequencies.
2. Wear on the horn is greater at high frequencies.
3. Clean and flat mating surfaces between the horn, booster
and transducer are more critical at high frequencies.
Booster
The function of a booster is to alter the gain (i.e. output
amplitude) of the probe. A booster is amplifying if its gain
is greater than one and reducing if its gain is less than one. A Booster
neutral or coupling booster is used to provide an additional
clamping location for added probe stack stability. A probe
designed to be mounted in a fixture along with a booster and
horn is shown in Figure 6–3. This is commonly referred to
as a stack. As indicated, the components are secured with
threaded studs. Horn

Booster Notes
How to Tell the Booster

1. The depth of the threaded hole on the output end is
always deeper than the threaded hole on the input
end.
2. On an amplifying booster (gain > 1.0), the larger
diameter end is the input end. On a reducing booster
(gain < 1.0) the larger diameter end is the output end.
On a neutral acting booster the diameters are equal. CAUTION

weld.
Inconsistent Welds
Variations in plastic due to filler materials and moisture
absorption may lead to inconsistent welds. Fillers can
be especially troublesome if they are not uniformly
distributed, the content is too high or it contains too
much or poor quality regrind or degraded plastic.
Try welding by energy. This eliminates many
inconsistencies. There should be no unusual or loud
noise from the acoustic stack. If there is, disassemble
the stack and inspect the mating surfaces to insure they
are clean and flat. Also, inspect the horn for damage or
cracks. When this is complete reassemble the stack.
Exchange the probe with another unit to see if the problem
disappears. If not, exchange the generator with another
unit to try and isolate the problem.
The horn amplitude may not be uniform if it has been
machined, altered or damaged. All of these will change
the resonant frequency of the horn. You can have the
horn analyzed.
