ON

LINE

key. This is labeled E in Figure 11–1.

The green

2. Program the appropriate weld method and time

or energy to achieve the desired welding results.

3. Apply the probe to the components to be ultra-

sonically joined, and press the probe’s activation
switch, or press the palm switches on the press
base. In automation systems, the customer sup-
plies external controls to trigger the generator.

dicate the percentage of power being delivered
to the probe while the trigger switch is en-
gaged.

5. The Power Output display should never reach

6. The Power Output display should go blank in-

dicating zero output power, after the probe trig-
ger is released.
