A complete systemincludes an actuator, controller and tooling (which delivers mechanical energy to the workpieces). Some systems also include special fixturing and machine automation. AmTech systemsmay only be utilized to weld soft, ductile, metal parts together with AmTech-supplied weldtooling (such as horns, tips, anvils, and converters) unless an explicit, written, contraryagreement between the ordering party and AmTech has been consummated.
Safety, Personal:
Safety Devices The removal, bridging or disabling of safety devices is not condoned for production operation.Individual safety devices mentioned below may only be disabled if super-ordinate safety devicesare employed in their place.
Emergency Stops:In case of danger, hit the red, emergency stop Which is found on the red, top portion of the footpedal. The actuator, power supply and related fixturing are returned to the “Home” position. Ifdual anti-tie start buttons are used, there must be a red emergency stop associated in line. Freeaccess to the emergency stop button must be maintained.
Controller CoverThe power supply is equipped with a top cover which should only be removed for maintenanceand installation purposes.
Safety Guidelines: For operating safety, please observe the following precautions:� Plug the power supply into a grounded electrical supply to avoid electrical shock.� Ensure that no one is in contact with system moving parts when operating.� Keep hands away from the horn tip as high force and ultrasonic vibration can cause injury to
hands and fingers.� Do not test ultrasonics when the converter is removed from the actuator. Without the
converter there is the danger of damage or shock.� Before adjusting or repairing the ultrasonic stack or power supply, disconnect the line power.� Any unauthorized modification of the units control circuitry or wiring may cause a
malfunction, which could result in injury to operating personnel.� Do not operate the equipment until repairs and adjustments have been made and the
equipment is in good working order.
AmTech Product Manual- General Information
Instruction Set for General Information Page 6 of 30
Maintenance Safety:Safety devices, especially covers, guards and ground cables should only be removed when it isabsolutely essential for the completion of maintenance work. If safety devices were removedprior to starting maintenance work, be sure to re-install those devices after finishing themaintenance work. The following installation and maintenance operations must be performedprior to any disassembly of equipment:
� All system components must be disconnected from the main electrical supply� Remove the plug from the main electrical supply and secure it from being re-inserted
accidentally.� All system components must be disconnected from the main air supply� Disconnect the air hose from the main air supply and release system air pressure via the
pressure regulator.
Safety, System:
System Protection Monitoring (SPM)The SPM (System Protection Monitoring) stops ultrasonics when the power supply has beenoverloaded or when inappropriate or defective horns are used.
Thermal SwitchA thermal switch is contained within the power supply to automatically disconnect power to themachine if the unit gets too hot. This will occur if the exhaust fans from the generator areinadvertently blocked or clogged.
Daily Functional Safety Checks:� Check the machine tip and anvil for any signs of grinding, cracking, or galling that could be
the result of misalignment or tooling contact. Replace tooling that has excessive wear.� Check for any loose material or debris in the welding cavity, cleaning it out.� Check all parameter settings on the controller to ensure they are properly set for the weld to
be made.� Drain water and contaminants from the airline filters as necessary
AmTech Product Manual- General Information
Instruction Set for General Information Page 7 of 30
Unpacking, Handling & Installation:Unpack the Actuator and Touchscreen Controller. Remove the top cover of the power supplyand check if any components became loose during shipment.
If damage has occurred:Notify the shipping company immediately. Retain packaging materials for inspection andpossible re-use.
System Location:Locate the Touchscreen Controller in an area away from radiators or heating vents. Allowsufficient clearance in back of the controller to access the connectors. Observe the following:
� Do not block the exhaust or air intake areas. Proper air circulation is necessary to maintain asafe operating temperature.
� Only operate the controller within an ambient temperature range of 41�F to 122�F (5�C to50�C).
� Verify that neither dust nor dirt are allowed to restrict the flow of air exhaust or air intake.Clean the air ports as necessary.
If the temperature of the power supply exceeds the recommended operating range, a thermalswitch will stop ultrasonics and the power supply will display an Overload alarm. Ultrasonicswill remain off until the power supply cools to a safe operating temperature and the RESETbutton is pressed.
If the environment is excessively dirty or oily, contact AmTech for assistance. SpecialTouchscreen Controller enclosures, filters (i.e. filter/separator/regulator), and other equipmentare available.
System Assembly:Connect the actuator system per the Hookup diagram contained in the Special InformationInstruction Set. Verify that connections are complete and correct before proceeding. Plug theController into a proper power source. See the Touchscreen Controller Instruction Set for powerspecifications, plugs and receptacles used.
Connect the system to a clean (5 micron air filter with 0.5 micron mist separator), dry, 80 psig(5.5 bar) minimum air supply.
See the Actuator Instruction Set for information on the set up of application tooling and the useof this equipment for ultrasonic welding.
AmTech Product Manual- General Information
Instruction Set for General Information Page 8 of 30
Crash Gap Adjustment:In most applications, adjustment of the gap between the ultrasonic Horn Tip and the Anvil isfactory set to prevent these surfaces from contacting each other when no parts to be welded arepresent and the foot pedal is depressed. A poorly adjusted crash gap can cause serious damage tothe tooling. See the Actuator Instruction Set for proper setup instructions.
Operating the System:With all proper connections made and with tooling properly set up, welding may be performed.In most instances it is likely that AmTech has developed weld settings for your application andstored them as presets in the controller prior to shipping. See the Touchscreen ControllerInstruction Set for information on retrieving presets. For other weld parameter informationpertaining to your system, see the parameter preset page included in the Special InformationInstruction Set.

Instruction Set for General Information Page 9 of 30
Troubleshooting:This section shows how to fix some of the possible errors and problems which may occur innormal use of the Ultraweld/ Ultrasplice system.
Weld OverloadWeld overloads are premature shut downs of the power supply. Overloads signify excessiveloads and must be corrected if continued reliability of the equipment is to be maintained.Hardware internal to the supply are controlling this function and it can not be defeated.
The control system analyzes the end of weld characteristics to check for overloads. If the systemdetermines an overload an alarm occurs. The control halts action until the system is reset.
Some of the possible causes for overloads are:� The tool clearances are too small, horn and anvil touch during welding� Excessive air pressure with low amplitude� Defective Stack assembly� Defective Power Transistors in power supply
Low Air Pressure
The control system and its components were designed to run with a clean air supply of from 90to 120 psi. The control system monitors the air pressure from the low air pressure switch(optional). The low pressure threshold is set from the controller. An alarm occurs whenincoming line pressure the drops below the set pressure.
Ready CheckThe system undergoes a Ready Check operation at every startup, the end of every weld, and atthe exit of Setup mode. This procedure checks the height encoder position. If an incorrect heightvalue is returned, an alarm occurs.
Some of the possible causes of a Ready Check alarm are:� The horn is stuck in the closed position� Maintenance has moved the height encoder to an out of limit condition� Defective encoder or electronics� Encoder not plugged in to its connector

Terminology:
Actuator: A mechanical device which houses the converter/booster/horn (stack) assembly in arigid mounting and is utilized to move the stack up or down. This allows for precise control ofwelding pressure for efficient while delivering mechanical vibrations from the ultrasonic stack tothe work piece(s).
After Burst: A short duration (burst) of ultrasonic energy that begins after completion of theAFTER BURST DELAY. (Also See: AFTER BURST DELAY & AFTER BURSTDURATION)
After Burst Delay: The amount of time, in seconds, between the completion of the ultrasonicwelding cycle and the start of the AFTER BURST. (Also See: AFTER BURST & AFTERBURST DURATION)
After Burst Duration: The amount of time, in seconds, that AFTER BURST energy isdelivered. (Also See: AFTER BURST & AFTER BURST DELAY)
Amplitude: Amplitude is the peak-to-peak displacement of mechanical motion as measured atthe face of the horn tip. Amplitude is measured in thousandths of an inch or in microns. (i.e. Astandard 40 kHz converter produces approximately .0004” or 10 microns of amplitude), Inches x25.4 = microns. -- With ‘Advanced Power Supply’ this is adjustable depending on systemfrequency and application tooling.
Anti-Node: The anti-node is the area of the horn and booster that exhibits maximumlongitudinal displacement and where the internal dynamic forces are equal to zero. This area isat the face and back surface on half-wave technology.
Anvil: A device specially designed to grip the lower component and hold it stationary againstthe energy of vibration(s) which allows a weld to be created.
Baud Rate: A communications measure describing the speed at which signals are transmittedserially (the number of signal events per second).
BBRAM: Nonvolatile random access memory (battery back-up random access memory).Equipped with long life built in batteries, this memory area preserves weld parameters and menusettings when the system is powered off. (also known as BBR)
Booster: The central component of an ultrasonic stack assembly. A device which transfersmechanical energy from the converter to the ultrasonic horn. The booster will, depending ondesign, increase, decrease, or maintain the specific energy (amplitude) as received from theconverter.
Calibration: The process of adjusting a device to a known position for purposes of inspectionand/or monitoring position, direction, speed, and/or velocity.

Ultrasonic Theory:
What Is An Ultrasonic Weld?Ultrasonic welding joins metal parts by applying the energy of high frequency vibrations onto theinterface area between the parts to be welded.
How Does It Work?Electrical Energy is transformed into high frequency mechanical vibration. This mechanicalvibration is transferred to a welding tip through an acoustically tuned horn (Figure 1). The partsare “scrubbed” together under pressure at 20,000 or 40,000 cycles per second. This highfrequency vibration, applied under force, disperses surface films and oxides, creating a clean,controlled, diffusion weld (Figure 2). As the atoms are combined between the parts to bewelded, a true, metallurgical bond is produced.
Figure 1 Figure 2
Benefits of Ultrasonic Welding
Ultrasonic metal welding exhibits unique welding properties that include:
� Excellent electrical, mechanical, and thermal connections between similar and dissimilarmetals.
� Low heat build up during the ultrasonic process (no annealing of materials).
� Compensation for normal surface variations of the material.
� Ability to clean surface oxides and contaminants prior to welding.
� Ability to weld large areas using minimal energy.
� Ability to weld thin materials to thick materials.
� Low cost per weld.

How Is An Ultrasonic Weld Made?
Although the theoretical process of producing an ultrasonic weld is uncomplicated, theinteractions of the various weld parameters are important and should be understood. Whenproducing an ultrasonic weld, there are three primary variables that interact; they are:
Time: The duration of applied ultrasonic vibration
Amplitude: The longitudinal displacement of the vibration
Force: The compressive force applied perpendicular (normal) to the direction of vibration
Power required to initiate and maintain vibration (motion) during the weld cycle can be definedas:
P = F x A
Where:� P = Power (watts)� F = Force * (psi)� A = Amplitude (microns)
*Note: Force is determined by multiplying:Force = (Surface Area of the Cylinder) X ( Air Pressure) X ( Mechanical Advantage)
Energy is calculated as:E = P x T
Where:� E = Energy (joules)� P = Power (watts)� T = Time (seconds)
Thus the complete ‘Weld To Energy’ process would be defined as:
E = ( F x A ) x T
A well designed ultrasonic metal welding system will compensate for normal variations in thesurface conditions of the metals by delivering the specified energy value. This is achieved byallowing Time (T) to adjust to suit the condition of the materials and deliver the desired energy.
AmTech Product Manual- General Information
Instruction Set for General Information Page 26 of 30
Welding To Energy - Why?
Most metal welding applications are produced by ‘Welding To Energy’ in order to compensatefor the various surface oxides and contaminants associated with the metals being joined. In afew applications ‘Welding To Time’ or ‘Welding To Height’ will yield better results. Since themajority of all metal welds are produced using energy as the controlling factor we will confineour discussion to that condition.
Welding to energy is necessary because of the non-metallic oxides that form on the metal’ssurface as well as other contaminates such as grease and dirt. To producing quality weldsreliably it is necessary that the surfaces to be joined are clean. The high frequency scrubbingaction, combined with pressure, cleans the weld interface at the beginning of the weld process.
The following graph (Figure 3) illustrates a weld produced. The weld ‘power graph’ issometimes to referred to a weld ‘footprint’. It can be used to visualize the weld cycle and assistsin parameter optimization. Graphs from consecutive welds will vary slightly as the systemdynamically adjusts time to accommodate varying surface conditions. The weld power data isgathered by sampling the power used in 5 millisecond intervals.

Instruction Set for General Information Page 27 of 30
PowerThe converter/ booster/ horn, (stack assembly), requires minimal electrical power to initiate andmaintain motion (vibration) at a ‘no-load’ condition. As the mechanical load increases, thepower required to maintain the mechanical vibration also increases. The maximum powerrequired during a weld cycle is ‘Peak Power’.
Figure 3
By increasing Pressure and maintaining all other parameters, the mechanical load or force on theweld joint increases, therefore, the amount of Power required to maintain the vibration of thestack increases. Subsequently, because of the increased Power Level, less time is required deliverthe same amount of Energy. This relationship is illustrated in the following diagram (Figure 4):
Figure 4
The difference in the appearance of each of the above weld graphs is the result of increasedPower loading. Based upon an increase in Pressure, additional Power is required to maintain themotion of vibration. Thus, the same amount of energy is delivered in less time. This approach istypically used to raise the loading of the power supply during a weld cycle to the desired level asdetermined by the application.
AmTech Product Manual- General Information
Instruction Set for General Information Page 28 of 30
Time: The time required to deliver the necessary energy is defined as the Weld Time. For most welds,the time required will be less than one second. If more energy is required and all other weldparameters are maintained, the weld time will increase (Figure 5).
Figure 5
Amplitude: An ultrasonic tool is a resonant acoustical device. The term Amplitude is used to describe theamount of longitudinal expansion and contraction that the tooling endures as it vibrates (Figure6). The amplitude correlates to the scrubbing action at the weld interface. This scrubbing actioncombined with pressure is what advances the weld by a diffusing or mixing of the base materials.
Figure 6
AmTech Product Manual- General Information
Instruction Set for General Information Page 29 of 30
As previously mentioned, the converter/ booster/ horn, (stack assembly), requires minimalelectrical power to initiate and maintain vibration in a ‘no-load’ condition. As the amplitudeincreases, the power required to maintain the increased velocity of vibration also increases.Subsequently, because of the increased Power less time is required deliver the same amount ofEnergy. This relationship is illustrated in the power diagram (Figure 7):
Figure 7
Resonant Frequency:The ultrasonic tooling acts as a spring having node points and anti-node points. The mechanicalenergy used to vibrate the tool is created by the converter. As the vibrations are propagatedthrough the acoustical tool, a harmonic resonance is established consisting of nodes and anti-nodes. This action results in a resonant wave being transferred through the tooling (Figure 8).The efficiency of the resonant wave transfer depends on the natural resonant frequency of thehorn and is determined by two factors:
� The speed of sound through the material� The geometric shape of the object
Figure 8
AmTech Product Manual- General Information
Instruction Set for General Information Page 30 of 30
Avoiding An Overload Condition: It is possible to increase the Amplitude and or the Pressureto a point where the power available is not adequate to initiate or maintain vibration under thegiven mechanical load. At this point, the power supply will stall resulting in an Overloadcondition. Electronic circuits in the system will protect the power supply if this condition exists.
Welding To Time: In specific applications, ‘Welding To Time’ may be desired. As previouslymentioned, there are three primary variables that interact; they are:
� TIME: The duration of applied ultrasonic vibration.� AMPLITUDE: The longitudinal displacement of the vibration.� FORCE: The compressive force applied perpendicular (normal) to the direction of vibration.
Generally, welding for a specific time will produce acceptable results when:
� The equipment is installed on an automated production line and each station must completeits process within a certain time limit.
� Very small low energy welds on clean components are being made.
Welding Temperature: Ultrasonic welding produces a localized temperature rise from thecombined effects of elastic hysteresis, interfacial slip and plastic deformation. The weldinterfaces reach approximately 1/3 the temperatures needed to melt the metals. Since thetemperature does not reach the melting point of the material, the physical properties of thewelded material are preserved. As the ultrasonic welding process is an exothermic reaction, aswelding time increases so does weld temperature.

AmTech Product Manual- Actuator Information Ultrasplice 2032 Mechanical Actuator Specifications The ULTRASPLICE system is comprised of a controller and mechanical actuator. The mechanical actuator (Figure 1) is the subject of this Instruction Set. It rigidly holds the converter, booster and horn assembly known as the ultrasonic stack (Figure 2). A pneumatic cylinder and cam mechanism drives the anvil to apply precise pressure to the parts being welded. The application tooling (i.e. anvil, tip, tip guide & gather block) is designed for easy replacement.

Figure 2
Converter The 20 kHz electrical energy from the power supply is applied to the transducer element or converter, which transforms the high frequency electric current into high frequency mechanical vibrations at the same frequency. The heart of the converter is a lead-zirconate-titanate electrostrictive element that, when subjected to an alternating voltage expands and contracts. The converter’s efficiency of changing electrical energy to mechanical vibrations exceeds ninety-five percent. Horn The horn is a half-wave length resonant metal device that transfers the ultrasonic vibrations from the converter to the weld tip. The horn is made of titanium and is designed to resonate at 20 kHz. The acoustical efficiency of titanium helps to maintain constant amplitude throughout the operating temperature of the welder. Since the horn is a vital part of the ultrasonic assembly system, it should not be altered without proper training and advice from AmTech.

AmTech Product Manual- Actuator Information Ultrasplice 2032 Welding Tip (Replaceable Tip Tooling) The welding tip is designed to grip the lower component of the parts being welded, and to couple the ultrasonic vibrations through that element into the bonding area. Welding tips are fabricated from high-speed tool steel and heat-treated to precise specifications to provide maximum life. The tip is coated to further enhance tool life and to provide corrosion resistance. Tip Nut (Replaceable Tip Tooling) The tip nut is made of titanium and is designed to securely clamp the tip onto the horn. The horn-welding tip-tip nut assembly is a very efficient system for transmitting ultrasonic vibration to the parts to be welded and offers an interchangeable tool at a very low cost. Ultrasonic Stack Mounting The ultrasonic stack is mounted into a pair of stack supports and securely clamped in place. The anvil arm is attached to the polar block using a re-circulating roller bearing slide. This slide provides the necessary precise travel required for the entire anvil assembly. The slide also provides excellent rigidity to resist any loss of ultrasonic energy in the horizontal direction of sonic vibrations.

Place the wires into the target area of the splicer using the tip guide block as a locator. recommended that larger wires be closest to the welding tip (Figure 5) when there is a significant difference in wire sizes being spliced. The reason for this is that the larger wire takes more energy to weld each of its strands to its neighbor. With the orientation reversed, there is a possibility the smaller wire could be damaged or over welded before the larger wirwas welded. It is also recommended that wires be placed on top of one another as much apossible

• Activate the splicer and make a splice. • Examine the splice and refer to the Wire Splice Comparisons in Table 1. Based upon
observation make adjustments as follows:
If you see loose strands (Ref. C) increase the welding pressure in 10% increments as you make additional splices. If after increasing the welding pressure by 20% there are still loose strands then increase the amplitude by 10%. Continue to follow this sequence until the splice looks good with no loose or broken strands (Ref. H). If you see broken strands or flash (Ref. D) reduce the amplitude by 10% and make a splice. If the splice is still over welded, reduce the welding energy by 10% and make another splice. If the splice is still over welded, reduce the welding pressure by 10%. Continue to follow this sequence until the splice looks good with no broken strands or flash.
Evaluation of Splice A splice must withstand vibration, moisture, high current loads, heat, and cold. Extensive studies have shown that the ability to meet these requirements is directly related to the pull strength of the wire splice. Peel strength is also important. A minimum level of resistance to peel must be associated with each splice to allow handling of wire harnesses during manufacturing and installation without an adverse effect on the splice. Peel strength does not however relate directly to the ability to meet the aforementioned requirements. For instance, over welding or extruding a wire splice will increase peel strength while decreasing the pull strength and therefore the ability of the splice to perform satisfactorily. Destructive Testing When the splice appears good as result of following the above instructions, evaluate samples using destructive testing. Pull test the splice according to recommended pull test technique. Fixturing of the splice for tensile testing is very important. Care must be taken to ensure no twisting of the nugget occurs. Testing should be on the smallest diameter wire and/or the wire closest to the anvil. The reason for this is that the anvil side of the nugget has received the least amount of ultrasonic energy and should be the weakest part. If this wire meets the tensile strength specification then it is safe to assume the splice is good. Wherever possible, it is a good idea to use multiple wires to anchor the test specimen and ensure an even pull on the wire being tested. If the splice meets specifications for strength make a minimum of 10 splices, pull test them and calculate the Cpk. If the Cpk is not satisfactory, examine the splice carefully to determine how it is failing. An under welded splice will fail by separating at the weld. An over welded splice will fail at the transition point of welded to unwelded wire. Based upon your observation return to the prior instructions and repeat the optimization process. Note that the best splices will fail at the transition but will do so at a consistent and predictable force. It is therefore necessary to pick weld parameters that meet this condition without excessive deformation of the wire strands.

The system, through its controller is capable of monitoring four welding variables during each cycle. The weld time (secs), peak weld power (watts), component(s) preheight (mm), and component(s) post-weld height (mm). Each variable can be set with upper and lower limits. When a limit or limits are violated, an audible alarm sounds. The type of alarm and associated value are displayed on the controller. Quality limits are the responsibility of the end user. It is recommended that these limits be calculated using statistical methods. Refer to the Touchscreen

AmTech Product Manual- Actuator Information Ultrasplice 2032 Compaction vs. Tensile Strength Knowing that pull (tensile) strength directly relates to the ability of the splice to meet performance criteria the question becomes, “How is tensile strength maximized?” Studies at AmTech on a range of wires in a 2 X 2 splice configuration clearly show that maximum tensile strength is achieved when the wires are welded and compacted to a dimension, which is 20% greater than their solid copper cross section, (Figure 6).

AmTech Product Manual- Actuator Information Ultrasplice 2032 Periodic Maintenance In order to maintain optimum operating conditions, it is important to perform various maintenance and equipment inspections at periodic intervals. In addition to recommendations found in the General Information Instruction set under Periodic Maintenance, please observe the following. Tooling should be inspected to confirm a gap of approximately .001”(.02mm) between adjacent tools. If the tooling is in contact during the application of ultrasonic energy, severe damage may result to the tooling and power supply. If the gap between tooling is too large, the wire strands may extrude out of the weld nugget resulting in excess flash or loose wires. With the tooling closed, place a .001”(.02mm) shim between the tools to check the gap. The .001”(.02mm) shim should pass through snugly, but a .0015”(.02mm) shim should not fit between the tools.
The tooling gap should be checked whenever the tooling is changed or when tool contact is suspected. All tooling that contacts the splice nugget has several wear surfaces. When one surface is worn and no longer useful, an alternate surface can be used thereby extending tool life. These surfaces can be changed quickly by following the Ultrasplice 2032 Tooling Setup Procedure (Figure 7) Checking Splicer Sonics Ensure that nothing is touching the tip on all four sides. The tooling must be disengaged and unloaded. From the controller, momentarily test the sonics (step reference- Menu >Maintain >Sonic> Test). If there is a loud squealing noise, the problem may be in the following areas: • The Tip may not be secured properly. • The Horn may not be secured properly. • Tooling may be in contact with each other.

Tool Cleaning After prolonged use, burrs may form on the clamping surfaces of the tooling (Figure 8). These burrs may be removed from the tip by polishing with 600-grit emery paper placed on a flat surface. With light pressure, polish the clamp faces as shown. The burrs on the horn clamping surface must be removed by machining back the horn clamp surface. Minimal material should be removed, and in no case exceed more than .020”/0.5mm. The undercut at this clamping surface must also be recut.

ed.
: The purpose of lubrication for the linear motion rolling guides and cam support guides is to prevent direct metal-to-metal contact components, thereby reducing friction, wear, and heat generation. When an adequate grease film is formed between the components, the contact stresses due to weld loading can be moderated. A quality lithium-soap base grease containing extreme pressure additives (Alvania EP Grease 2 (SHELL)) is pre-packed in the recirculation crossed roller slide and cam support guides. However, the quality of any grease will gradually deteriorate over time Periodic re-lubrication is essential. The re-lubrication interval varies depending on the operating conditions of the rolling guides. A three-month interval is generally recommended. Grease nipples have been provided at three points for re-lubrication. (Figure 13) To access to the grease fittings’ remove the Rear Cover and the anvil arm slide cover and insert the grease nozzle to apply the grease. New grease must be supplied through the grease fitting until the old grease is dischargAfter the grease is replenished, cycling the actuator will cause the excess grease to be discharged from the inside of the rolling guide. Discharged grease must then be removed before starting regular operation. Generally, immediately after grease is replenished, frictional resistance tends to increase. If cycling the actuator is performed for 10 to 20 cycles after excess grease is discharged, frictional

Lubrication Schedule:
Actual lubrication interval is under the influence of each application and environment.
When re-mounting the slide block to the rail for any reason, care must be taken to avoid dislodging rollers from the tracks within the slide block. AmTech recommends the following schedule as an initial plan to follow: 1. After 1 month of normal operation:
a. Inspect interior of actuator for possible grease discharge. b. Re-lubricate slide and guides with specified grease. c. Allow full travel of the slide unit inside the actuator. d. Cycle the slide 10-20 to re-circulate the grease.
2. After 3 months of normal operation: a. Inspect interior of actuator for possible grease discharge. b. Re-lubricate slide with specified grease. c. Allow full travel of the slide the actuator.

Encoder Board Calibration Encoder board calibration is factory set and generally does not need to be changed. Any calibration required due to tool wear or adjustment is built into the controller software and may be accomplished using touchscreen commands (refer to the Touchscreen Controller Instruction Set). If a new encoder board is installed it will be necessary to calibrate Height and Width as follows. If a new width encoder belt is installed, follow the procedures for Width only. Calibrate Height • From the controller, lower the horn (step reference- Menu >Maintain >Height > Horn) • Remove the top cover from the actuator and locate the actuator board. • With digital voltmeter measure dc voltage at test point R14 (Figure 14) to ground. The 9 pin
connector should be used as the ground point. • Voltage should read + 0.150 vdc. If not turn voltage the HGT ZERO potentiometer (Figure
14) until the voltmeter reads + 0.150 vdc. (The voltage must be positive) • From the controller raise the horn (step reference- Horn).

AmTech Product Manual- Touchscreen Controller Operation: Before attempting to operate the controller, make sure you have reviewed the entire manual and have an understanding of safety procedures. Check that connections between the controller and actuator are as shown in the Hookup Diagram provided in Special Information Instruction Set. The power button on the front of the system may then be used to turn the system on.
Danger-When operating the controller keep clear of the actuator moving parts
If power is removed from the system while the controller is on, it will be necessary to press the power button to its off position and then once again to its on position in order to restore power to the system. Interactive user screens supply a means of function selection and data entry for setting up the controller. The following pages provide illustrations, function descriptions and screen navigation instructions. In the event of a system fault or an improper keyed entry, the controller will provide an instructional prompt screen in order to remedy the condition. Controller User Screen Hierarchy: A drawing included in the back of this Instruction Set provides an overview of the controller user screens and functions shown in tree structure. It serves as a useful tool for navigating the command structure of the controller. See page 59 to identify the drawing number for Controller User Screen Hierarchy.

Teach Mode Setup Screen: The teach feature may be used to establish weld limits (see page 26 for reference) from a series of sample welds made by the user. Upon successful completion of the sample set the controller does the following: Calculates average values for Time, Power, Preheight and Height variables. Factors the allowable min/max deviation percentages as entered in this screen. Uses the resultant values to create the weld limits. There are two teach modes available as means to do sampling. The mode in use will be displayed at the top of this screen. These modes area as follows: In the Standard Teach Mode the user may accept or reject each weld as part of the sample set. The button to accept the samples will appear to the right of the TEACH button on the Run Screen. Sample sets of 1 to 50 may be used. In the Auto Teach Mode the user may not reject samples. Instead, the first five welds form a basis using the averaged values for Time, Power, Preheight and Height. A plus or minus ten percent tolerance is added to these averages which are used to evaluate the acceptability of the remaining samples. If a remaining sample falls outside of this range it is rejected and an alarm occurs. A teach session may encounter up to three errors in the first 15 welds made after which the sampling must be started over. Once the teach mode sample size and variation criteria has been established, a sample run may be initiated by pressing the TEACH button on this screen or on the Run Screen. Press one of the following options for this screen: ANY MIN/MAX % VALUE To select an allowable deviation to be applied to the sample average.

AmTech Product Manual- Touchscreen Controller Maintenance: The controller is designed for a long service life. In the event the system malfunctions, many of the internal components (Modules) are replaceable as a unit. If a particular module has failed, it should be replaced or repaired at our facility or in the field by a qualified AmTech trained technician.
Before you begin to disassemble any parts of the controller, ensure that it is turned off, and the main power is disconnected. Wait at least two minutes to allow capacitors to discharge. High voltage is present in the power supply. Do not operate with the cover removed. High line voltages exist in the ultrasonic power supply module. Common points are tied to circuit reference, not chassis ground. Therefore, use only non-grounded, battery-powered multimeters when testing these modules. Using other types of test equipment can present a shock hazard. The controller contains components that can be degraded or damaged by electrostatic discharge. Always use a grounded wrist strap and use a grounded work area when handling or servicing the controller. The following pages provide descriptions and means to identify replaceable components.
Do not cycle the welding system if either the RF cable or converter is disconnected. Power Supply Cover: The cover is held in place with seven screws, three on each side of the case and one on the rear. Lift the rear of the cover up to remove it. The cover must be in place when the system is operating due to fan-forced ventilation design. Circuit Boards and Modules: Replaceable modules are shown in Figure 1. Be sure to note ribbon cable and connector orientation prior to removing components for maintenance or replacement. The cooling fans use identical wiring harnesses, with one tying back the ‘extra’ lead length. Make note of any wiring paths if you are removing a module, before you disassemble. In some cases, there are several possible paths, but one preferred location. Be especially careful with harnesses and wires that go between the two portions of the case, as they can be pinched by the metal case if miss-routed. Cleaning the Equipment: Air is continuously drawn into the controller. Periodically disconnect the unit from power, remove the cover and vacuum out any accumulated dust and debris. Remove material adhering to the fan blades and motor, transistors, heat sinks, transformers, circuit boards, cooling intake vents, and exhaust ports. External covers may be cleaned with a damp sponge or cloth using a solution of mild soap and water.

AmTech Product Manual- Touchscreen Controller Ultrasonic Power Supply Module- generates ultrasonic energy at the resonant frequency of the Converter-Booster-Horn Stack. The Ultrasonic Power Supply Module contains five main circuits as follows: •
•
•
• • • • •
•
• •
• •
•
•
320VDC Power Supply: converts AC line voltage to +320VDC for the output power devices.
FET bridge- switches the 320 vdc into ultrasonic pulses at the resonant frequency.
Output circuit – matches the impedance of the output power device to the Converter-Booster-Horn Stack; and provides feedback to the Control circuit.
Control circuits: perform the following functions:
Provide drive signal to output power device. Determine true percentage of ultrasonic power used over a range of amplitudes. Allows control of the resonant frequency. Control starting amplitude.
System Protection Monitor (SPM) and AutoTune with Memory (AT/M) circuit do the following:
Provide overload protection for the Ultrasonic Power Module. Store operating frequency of last weld (frequency memory) and use the stored frequency as a starting point for the next weld. Check and update frequency memory on start-up. Provide switch-selective starting ramp times (Start).
Line Board Module- performs the dual function of providing RFI filtering for the line voltage input to the power supply, and controlling the electrical current surge to the ultrasonic Power Supply Module at power up until the inrush current limiter relay engages. The filtering also blocks ultrasonic signals from entering the AC main line. Additionally, the Line Board contains a soft start circuit module which limits the effects of current inrush. DC Power Module- rectifies, filters, and regulates the AC voltages from the Line Transformer into DC voltages for the CPU Board. These two circuits are described below:
5VDC output: provides +5VDC for the analog and digital circuitry on the CPU Board.
24VDC output: provides +24VDC for the CPU Board control signal and user I/O voltage. The DC Power Supply is mounted to the rear of the Power Supply case. It is mounted so it will swivel up to service the DC Power Supply, Line Board, and fuses.

Standard IBM PC Null Modem cable. A computer running Windows HyperTerminal and a standard RS232 serial port. Other computers may be configured to work but will require additional instructions. An AmTech TouchScreen Controller version 5.03.00 or later. It must be configured and ready to run.
Download Procedure:
Connect the PC to the touchscreen controller (connection P105) with the Null Modem cable. Note the PC COM port because it will be required for setting HyperTerminal. Do not start the controller at this time.
From the PC, start HyperTerminal (Usually in the Accessories program menu folder). Setup a HyperTerminal connection (File, New Connection). Use the default settings with the following changes:
Set Phone Number: Direct to Com 1 (or Com 2 as available) In Configure set:
Bits per second 19200 (Default for TouchScreen) Data bits 8 Parity None Stop bits 1 Flow control None
In Settings set Emulation: VT52
Save and connect with the new connection Turn on touchscreen controller. HyperTerminal view window should show: UUIA1 :020000030900F2 :02000000C740f7 :0100000100FE This is the touchscreen’s sign on to an attached serial port. It is always sent when the control starts to tell any waiting device that the COM port is active. If you do not see this sign on or the characters are unusual check the settings. The baud rate may have been changed or if there is no display check the Null Modem cable and COM port assignment.

From the touchscreen controller go to the Serial Port Diagnostics Screen. (Menu> Diagnostic > Password> Serial). Check the BAUD rate at the lower right corner of the screen. It must match the Bits per second used in HyperTerminal. From the PC HyperTerminal go to Transfer, Capture Text. It is recommended that the data be stored on a floppy disk in the A: drive. A file name a:\tsdata.txt or similar can be used. Use a .txt extension.
From the touchscreen controller press COM DATA. When the next screen appears press PRESETS or SEQUENCE to upload the data to the PC HyperTerminal. When all data has been sent to the PC go back to Transfer, Capture Text and Stop. This will close the file with data stored.
Upload Procedure:
The captured text file contains all the information required to return the data back to any waiting touchscreen controller. Assuming the HyperTerminal setup was saved, load that setup to start the system. If you have not saved the setup you can use the above steps to setup a new HyperTerminal session.
IMPORTANT: Leave the controller at the RUN screen. From the PC, use the Send Text File (instead of Capture Text) to upload the file to the controller.
Controller to Controller:
The PC is required only to store the data. If desired, two touchscreen controllers can be attached via the Null Modem cable and the data sent directly from one controller to another. The BAUD rate must be identical, there is no other setup.
