4.0 Physical System and Connections TOC – Physically the system is contained in three separate
packages – The stepper controller, the ultrasonic power supply and the motor press assembly. Several cables
are required to connect the various pieces together – see cable diagrams on the following pages. The
ultrasonic supply and the motor controller are packaged in similar size chassis and should be positioned for
easy programming access and cabling. The press assembly contains the motor, motor position encoder, force
sensor, linear positioning actuator and ultrasonic converter with a solid mount booster. Additionally, a standard
computer with Windows operating system is required for programming the stepper system.
The press assembly has five cables, two connect to the ultrasonic power supply (GX) and three connect to the
stepper control box. The round cables cannot be interchanged and will only match the appropriate connector
shell type on the back panels of the control units.
A termination connector is supplied and must be used on the stepper system if a computer will not be used to
monitor the stepper controls. This connector terminates the hardware handshake lines. Drawings for some of
these cables are contained in the Maintenance section of this manual.
