Untimed Auto Probe – Delay
The generator is triggered by external automa-
tion equipment. The automation control provides
the ultrasound start and stop signal. In certain
operations, a delay may be required to allow the
clamping head(s) to fully engage before starting
the ultrasound. The probe delay time menu for
untimed operation was shown previously in Fig-
ure 7–14. This parameter sets the post–trigger
delay. The maximum value which can be entered
is 30.000 seconds. The minimum value for the
Delay Time is 0.000 second which effectively dis-
ables any delay.
Process Control – Weld Method
In Timed Auto Probe mode, after choosing the Auto
Stop option and pressing
ENTER , the next menu
displayed is titled Process Control as shown in Fig-
ure 7–22. The Process Control Menu includes the
Weld Method and adds two more menu screens.
Refer back to the Hand Probe and MPC Probe sec-
tions for information on the Time, Energy and
Ground Detect Welding method menus.
Process Control – Hold Time
After the Weld Method has been chosen and pa-
rameter values entered, the menu flow returns back
to Process Control but with Hold Time automati-
cally selected. This is shown below in Figure 7–23.
