Dukane Manual Part No. 403-574-01
Generator Overview
This generator is designed for basic ultrasonic applications
that use either manually operated hand probes or ultrasonic
probes controlled by automation systems. Using the avail-
able system control inputs and output status signals, it can
easily be controlled by automated machines.
The generator design accepts several control input signals,
and provides system status output signals.
This product has rugged internal ultrasonic generator cir-
cuitry and ensures a continuous resonant frequency lock at
the start of each weld.
Users may program the generator setup parameters to meet
a wide variety of ultrasonic processing requirements.
The generator’s compact size allows multiple units to be
placed into an industrial equipment cabinet. This genera-
tor will operate at the same international line voltage input
specifications as the other generators of this product fam-
ily (unless the 120V option is installed). It also includes an
RFI line filter that passes FCC and strict CE test specifica-
tions for global applications.
Key Generator Features
Program the Generator with up to 16 setups.
Process Parameters such as frequency, amplitude
and power are all updated at a .5 ms rate.
Pulse Width Modulation incorporates patented
circuitry giving the power supply the ability to
efficiently change the output amplitude. This makes
it possible to start large horns with reduced power. It
also provides more power-efficient switch-mode gen-
erator operation and increased reliability.
Linear Ramp Soft-Start circuitry allows the acoustic
stack to be brought to operating amplitude smoothly,
minimizing start-up surges and abnormal stress to the
stack and generator.
Automatic Tuning tracks the resonant frequency of
the acoustic stack (horn, booster, transducer) and ad-
justs the generator output frequency to match it. This
is done for every weld cycle and eliminates the need
to manually tune the generator.
Line Voltage Regulation automatically maintains
constant amplitude regardless of line voltage devia-
tion. The available output power is maintained with
any voltage input within the specified range. This pro-
vides consistent system performance regardless of line •

voltage fluctuations. It also eliminates the need
for bulky, external constant–voltage transform-
ers.
Load Regulation provides constant ultrasound
amplitude automatically regardless of power
draw. The ultrasonic output amplitude level is
held to within ±1% to provide weld process con-
sistency and reduced weld cycle times.
High Line Voltage Power Supply means that
standard systems will operate worldwide at the lo-
cal high line voltage level, whether it is 200VAC
@60Hz in Japan, 240VAC @50Hz in Europe or
208VAC @60Hz in the United States. There are
no internal transformer taps to change for world-
wide operation.
Low Line Voltage Power Supply - This optional
120V power supply is designed for North Ameri-
can applications.
Flow Through Cooling Tunnel with a matched
high–performance heatsink and thermostatically
controlled fan reduces thermal gradients and in-
creases component life.
AC Power Inrush protection reduces electrical
stress on the internal components by protecting
them from AC power startup transient current
surges.
Multiple Electronic Overload protection circuits
prevent instantaneous component failure in the
event of extreme output overload conditions.The
overload power limit is based on the actual true RMS
power output level.
Process Limits include: time only, time and en-
ergy, and peak power. These programmable lim-
its provide the means to adapt to a wide variety of
welding applications.
Control Board Option Modules - The user can
select one of the following: Multi-Probe Control,
Automation Thruster Control, or Remote Ampli-
tude Control. An isolated I/O Conversion Module
is also available as a DIN rail-mounted module.
CE Certification means that the system meets
the required European standards to be sold and
used in Europe (high line voltage models only).
ISO 9001 Certification means that this system
has been manufactured to high quality standards
and assures you of manufacturing excellence.
