vides consistent system performance regardless
of line voltage fluctuations. It also eliminates the
need for bulky, external constant–voltage trans-
formers.
System Overview
Your iQ Series UltrasonicꢀPowerꢀSupplyꢀAL,ꢀan ultra-
sonic generator, provides a versatile stand-alone worksta-
tion.
•
•
Load Regulation provides constant amplitude
automatically regardless of power draw. The ul-
trasonic output amplitude level is held to within
±1% to provide weld process consistency and re-
duced weld cycle times.
This product’s rugged internal circuitry ensures a continu-
ous resonant frequency lock at the start of each weld.
Standard to this line of generators are time and energy
control. The brightly lit display is easy to read. The menu
structure makes programming simple, and the one-touch
hot keys give the operator even more flexibility.
Industrial Line–Power Source means that
standard systems will operate worldwide at all
industrial high line voltage levels, 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 worldwide operation. North American sys-
tems are optionally available to operate on the
120VAC line voltage level.
The generator also includes an RFI line filter that passes
strict CE test specifications for global applications.
Key Features
•
Trigger by Power is a Dukane patented feature that
produces greater weld consistency by requiring that
a sufficient amount of pressure/force is applied to the
part before the actual weld begins. Trigger by Power is
a cost effective alternative to trigger by force because
it does not require additional, expensive components
such as a load cell, amplifier board or cabling.
•
Multiple
Electronic
Overload
protec-
tion circuits prevent instantaneous com-
ponent failure in the event of extreme out-
put overload conditions, and rated overload
power limit is based on the actual true RMS
power output level.
•
•
Compact Generator is small and easily moved, and
this allows your table or work bench to accommodate
more of the items needed for your process.
•
•
CE Certification means that the system meets
the required European standards to be sold and
used in Europe.
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.
ISO 9001 Certification means that this system
has been manufactured to high quality standards
and assures you of manufacturing excellence.
•
•
Linear Ramp Soft Start circuitry allows the acous-
tic stack to ramp up to operating amplitude smoothly,
minimizing the start-up surges and abnormal stress to
the stack and generator.
Digi-Trac 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-

How to Lift Safely
•
Before lifting, take a moment to think about what
you’re about to do.
•
Examine the object for sharp corners, slippery spots
or other potential hazards. Know your limit and don’t
try to exceed it.
•
•
Ask for help if needed, or if possible, divide the load
to make it lighter.
Know where you are going to set the item down, and
make sure it and your path are free of obstructions.
Then follow these steps:
Step 1. Stand close to the load with your feet
spread apart about shoulder width, with
one foot slightly in front of the other for
balance.
Step 2. Squat down bending at the knees (not your
waist). Tuck your chin while keeping your
back as vertical as possible.
Step 3. Get a firm grasp of the object before be-
ginning the lift. Begin slowly lifting with
your LEGS by straightening them. Never
twist your body during this step.
Step 4. Once the lift is complete, keep the object
as close to the body as possible. As the
load’s center of gravity moves away from
the body, there is a dramatic increase in
stress to the lumbar region of the back.
Step 5. If you must turn while carrying the load,
turn using your feet-not your torso. To
place the object below the level of your
waist, follow the same procedures in re-
verse order. Remember, keep your back
as vertical as possible and bend at the
knees.

Ground
Proper grounding for the generator chassis is essential
for the effective suppression of electrical noise or
RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). Every ultrasonic
generator contains a RFI filter that blocks noise on the
AC power line from entering the system control circuitry.
This filter also prevents ultrasonic frequency noise from
being fed back into the AC power line. For the RFI filter
to operate effectively, it is necessary to correctly ground
the system.
NOTE
Chassis Grounding Stud
Thechassisgroundingstudisusedtoattach
a protective earth ground to the generator.
This will aid in the suppression of electrical
interference or radio frequency interference
(RFI) that is common in a industrial environ-
ment. Stud location is shown in Figure 3-3
on the following page.
Connect a grounding wire from the grounding stud
connection (see Figure 3-1) to the nearest grounded metal
pipe or equivalent earth ground.
See Connecting Cables on the next page.
CAUTION
If you have any questions
about the grounding of your
equipment and/or the electri-
cal box, contact a qualified
electrician.

Pin 4 (Ultrasound Active Status Output)
Pin 4 is a non-isolated digital NPN status output that
activates when the system is delivering ultrasonic power
to the load attached to the ultrasound output connector.
This output will be an open circuit when the ultrasound
output is off.
Pin 1 (Enable Out)
This is a current limited voltage source output intended
to connect to an E-Stop circuit. If an E-Stop circuit is
not used, Pin 1 must be jumpered to Pin 2 for ultrasound
operation to be enabled.
Pin 2 (Enable In)
Pin 5 (Any Fault Status Output)
The output from the E-Stop circuit is connected to this
pin when an E-Stop circuit is used. Otherwise, this pin
must be jumpered to Pin 1 for ultrasound operation to
be enabled. See Figure A-1 in Appendix A for E-Stop
circuit wiring examples.
Pin 5 is a non-isolated digital NPN status output that
activates whenever any fault condition is detected that
inhibits ultrasound output and normal system operation.
This output will be an open circuit when no system fault
conditions are active.
Pin 3 (System Overload Status Output)
Pin 6 (System Power Status Output)
Pin 3 is a non-isolated digital NPN status output that
activates when an output overload condition is tripped.
This output will be an open circuit if an output overload
condition is not tripped. This output will remain latched
ON until the U/S Activate input is switched OFF and
then ON again.
Pin 6 is a non-isolated digital NPN status output that
activates when no fault conditions are detected by any of
the power fault detection circuits included in the system.
This output will be an open circuit when any power
related fault condition is detected.

Section 4 – Controls and Connections
Pin 7 (Status Output Common)
Configuration Port Connector
Pin 7 is connected to chassis ground. The non-isolated
NPN status output signals can drive isolated PNP inputs
on the automation control system.
This connector - E in Figure 3-3 - is a DB-9M
(standard D-subminiature nine circuit, male)
typically used for RS-232 serial communications.
This serial port (DTE) connects to a serial port (DCE)
on a computer via a standard 9-pin serial cable. If the
computer does not have a serial port, you may use a
USB-to-serial conversion cable.
Pin 8 (System Ready Status Output)
This status output signal will activate only when the system
is ready to activate ultrasound or begin a weld cycle.
Pin 8 is a digital active low status output that activates
when a weld processing cycle is completed and the welding
process control system is ready to start the next welding
cycle. This output will be an open circuit when the welding
process controller determines that the next welding cycle
cannot be started. This includes system faults or E-Stop
active, but not a process fault like Overload.
This port is used for field updates to the generator
firmware, without removing the enclosure cover.
This port can also be used with a software application
running on a Windows PC to modify the factory
default system settings and hardware configurations.
Contact your local sales representative for software
availability information and access to documentation
that will allow you to make use of the configuration
port features.
Pin 9 (Power Signal Monitor Output)
Pin 9 is an analog output signal proportional to the true
RMS ultrasound power output level. This signal is scaled
so 1mV = 1 Watt.
Pin 10 (Power Signal Monitor Common)
Pin 10 is a signal ground (non-isolated chassis ground) for
the Analog Power output signal on Pin 9.
Pin 11 (Fault Reset Input)
Pin 11 is an isolated input control signal that will reset
any output faults when it is activated. It can be used
by the automation control system to simplify PLC
programming.
Pin 12 (U/S Activate/Cycle Start Input)
Pin 12 is used to activate the generator ultrasound output.
Activating this isolated control input will switch the
ultrasound output ON, and deactivating this signal will
switch ultrasound OFF.
Pin 13 (Isolated Input Common)
[Electrically connected to Pin 5 on MPC I/O connector if
MPC Interface option is installed.]
Pin 13 is electrically isolated from chassis ground. Using
sourcing (PNP) output drivers, this common line would be
connected to the automation system power supply common.
Using sinking (NPN) output drivers, this common line
would be connected to the automation system positive
supply output. See Figure A-1 in Appendix A for E-Stop
circuit wiring examples.

Section 5 - Process Control Settings
Process Controller
Settings
This section of the manual helps the reader become
familiar with the operating modes, and illustrates some
typical programming steps.
There are three welding modes available. These
correspond to the three ways in which the welder can be
used: Automation, Time, and Energy.
Select the Welding Mode
Automation - In AUTOMATION mode the PLC
controlstheweldcycle.Thecyclestarts,andtheultrasonic
signal (U/S) activates when Ultrasound Activate/Cycle
Start Input (Pin 12) is activated. When the Ultrasound
Activate/Cycle Start Input (Pin 12) is deactivated, the
ultrasonic signal stops and the cycle is complete unless
there is a hold time programmed.
Time - In TIME mode the operator sets a maximum
time (seconds) that the ultrasonic signal will be active for
each weld cycle. The cycle starts when the Ultrasound
Activate/Cycle Start Input (Pin 12) is activated. The U/S
stops when the programmed time is reached.
Energy - In ENERGY mode the operator sets a
maximum energy (Joules) the generator will reach
during the weld cycle. [A maximum weld time must be
set when welding by energy. If the energy level is not
reached, the preset for time will determine when the
U/S is deactivated.] When the preset energy level is
reached, the U/S will be deactivated. The cycle starts
when the Ultrasound Activate/Cycle Start Input (Pin 12)
is activated. When the programmed energy is reached,
ultrasound stops.

Theory of Operation
CAUTION
Plastic welding is the most common application of
ultrasonic assembly. To perform ultrasonic plastic
welding, the vibrating tip is brought into contact with
one of the work pieces. Pressure is applied and ultrasonic
energy travels through the material generating frictional
heat at the contact point of the two parts. The frictional
heat melts a molded ridge of plastic on one of the pieces
and the molten material flows between the two surfaces.
When the vibration stops, the material solidifies forming a
permanent bond.
Never use a probe if the
cable insulating jacket is
cut or damaged in any way.
Probe Configuration
A basic ultrasonic probe package consists of:
1. Aprobe which houses the transducer to convert the elec-
trical energy supplied by the generator into mechanical
vibrations.
2. A horn to transfer the mechanical vibrations from the
probe to the parts to be welded.
Optional components include special replaceable tips
which can be threaded on to the tip of the horn, and a
booster to amplify the mechanical vibrations of the horn.
A basic probe system is shown in Figure 6-1.
Probe
Normally a booster is not used with a probe as this
increases the length and weight and reduces its versatility.
The optional threaded titanium tip can be used when the
application calls for a staking profile or a pointed spot
weld. Replaceable tips are not commonly used in high–
volume production environments.

Section 6 – Probes and Probe Stacks
Ultrasonic Horn
The horn transfers the ultrasonic mechanical vibrations
(originating at the transducer in the probe housing) to the
plastic parts through direct physical contact. The horn
is precision machined and designed to vibrate at either
20kHz, 30kHz, 40kHz, 50kHz or 70kHz. The tuning is
accomplished using electronic frequency measurement.
Inherent variations in material composition prevent tuning
by dimensional machining alone.
There are many different horn profile styles depending
upon the process requirements. Factors which affect
the horn design are the materials to be welded and the
method of assembly. Horns are usually constructed from
aluminum, hardened steel or titanium. As the frequency
increases, vibration amplitude typically decreases, but
internal stress in the horn increases. Higher frequencies
are used for delicate parts that cannot handle a lot of
amplitude. Some factors to keep in mind for high–
frequency (e.g. 40kHz) ultrasonic welding versus low–
frequency (e.g. 20kHz) ultrasonic welding are listed here.
1. Stress in the horn is higher at high frequencies.
Probe
Housing
2. Wear on the horn is greater at high frequencies.
3. Clean and flat mating surfaces between the horn, booster
and transducer are more critical at high frequencies.
Booster
The function of a booster is to alter the gain (i.e. output
amplitude) of the probe. A booster is amplifying if its gain
is greater than one and reducing if its gain is less than one. A
neutral or coupling booster is used to provide an additional
clamping location for added probe stack stability. A probe
designed to be mounted in a fixture along with a booster and
horn is shown in Figure 6–2. This is commonly referred to
as a stack. As indicated, the components are secured with
threaded studs.

NOTE
Stack Assembly
Do not apply any grease to the threads
of the replaceable tip. This may cause
the tip to loosen from the horn resulting
in inconsistent operation.
Attaching a Replaceable
Tip to a Horn
1. Inspect all horn and tip surfaces for stress cracks,
chips, or gouges.Any of these irregularities will affect
operation and could lead to further equipment damage.
Contact the Dukane Ultrasonics Tooling Department
concerning damaged horn components.
CAUTION
NEVER clamp the horn
in a vise. The resulting
scratches or gouges in the
surface are stress risers
which may result in cracks.
2. Apply an extremely thin layer of a high temperature,
high pressure silicon grease to the back surface that
mates with the horn. The grease will allow both
surfaces to intimately mate and become acoustically
transparent which improves the energy transfer. Do
not apply any grease to the threads. We recommend
Dow–Corning #4 (or #111 as an alternate). A small
packet of Dow–Corning #4 is supplied with the system.
If you cannot use a silicon–based grease in your facil-
ity, a petroleum–based grease may be used. However, it
is likely to leave carbonaceous deposits on the surface,
and require more frequent joint maintenance. Failure
to follow these instructions, may result in the mating
surfaces bonding and difficulty removing the tip from
the horn.
3. Thread the tip into the horn and tighten to the torque
specifications below using an open end wrench of the
correct size to fit the wrench flats of the tip. This is
illustrated in Figure 6-3. If necessary, use a spanner
wrench (on horns with spanner wrench holes) or an
open end wrench (on horns with wrench flats) to keep
the horn from turning in your hand. A canvas strap
wrench is permissible if it does not gouge or scratch
the horn.

Attaching the Mounting
Stud to a Horn or a
Booster
NOTE
Do not apply any grease to the stud
threads or the tapped hole. This may
cause the stud to loosen. If the stud
wanders within the joint, it can vibrate, re-
sulting in excessive heat. In some cases,
this can melt the tooling material.
1. Inspect the stud for cracks or damaged threads.
Replace the stud if it is cracked or otherwise dam-
aged.
2. Remove any foreign matter from the threaded stud
and the mating hole.
3. Thread the mounting stud into the input* end of the
horn or the input* end of the booster and tighten to
the following torque specifications using an Allen
wrench in the socket head of the mounting stud.
Table 6-II lists the torque specifications in units
for both English and Metric systems of measure-
ments.
DO NOT hold the booster by the mounting rings
when tightening stud. The mounting rings have a
shear pin which could snap under excessive torque.
Use a spanner wrench (on horns with spanner
wrench holes) or an open end wrench (on horns
with wrench flats) to keep the horn or booster from
turning in your hand.

Attaching the Horn to
a Booster, Booster to a
Probe, or Horn to a Probe
NOTE
Always remove a probe stack from the
machine in which it is mounted before
attaching or removing a horn.
1. Inspect all surfaces to be joined for stress cracks,
chips, or gouges. Any of these irregularities will affect
operation and could lead to further equipment damage.
Contact the Dukane Ultrasonic Tooling Department
concerning a damaged booster.
CAUTION
Never leave a horn or booster
assembly hand tight. Torque
it to the proper specifications
2. Ensure that the mating surfaces of the two components
are clean and smooth. These surfaces must make inti-
mate contact for the mechanical energy to pass from
one component to the next. Pitting or a buildup of old
grease and dirt on a mating surface will interfere with
the energy transfer and reduce the power delivered.
before proceeding. If the as-
sembly is installed without
being properly torqued down,
the assembly may vibrate
severely, damaging the mat-
ing surfaces and causing
the generator to overload.
3. Make sure that the stud in the horn or booster is tight.
See the preceding mounting stud assembly instructions
for torque specifications.
4. Remove any foreign matter from the threaded stud and
mating hole.
5. Apply an extremely thin layer of a high temperature,
high pressure silicon grease to the surface that mates
with the horn. The grease will allow both surfaces to
intimately mate and become acoustically transparent
which improves the energy transfer. We recommend
Dow–Corning #4 (or #111 as an alternate). A small
packet of Dow–Corning #4 is supplied with the system.
If you cannot use a silicon–based grease in your facility,
a petroleum–based grease may be used. However, it is
likely to leave carbonaceous deposits on the surface,
and require more frequent joint maintenance. Grease
may be omitted if mylar washers are preferred on sys-
tems that require frequent changes. Mylar is plastic and
will creep under compression, so mylar is not recom-
mended for systems that are not changed frequently.
Failure to follow these instructions, may result in the
mating surfaces bonding and difficulty removing the
horn from the booster or the booster from the probe.

Stack Disassembly
CAUTION
Stackdisassemblyisrequiredwhenchangingtheboosteror
horn, or for a thorough inspection of all stack components.
In mounted systems, always remove the stack from its
mounting to disassemble the stack components.
Never hold a probe by the
housing when tightening or
loosening an adjoining com-
ponent. The probe housing
has anti–rotation devices
to keep the transducer
aligned. These could shear
under excessive torque.
To establish a maintenance schedule, inspect the mating
surfaces after the first 200–400 hours of operation. If they
require cleaning, halve the time between inspections. If
the surfaces do not require reconditioning, then double the
time between inspections. Each system is different due
to the large number of operational parameters and stress
factors.
The assembly and disassembly procedures for a probe
are shown in Figure 6–5. It makes no difference whether
the horn is attached to the booster first, or the booster is
attached to the probe first.

Booster Notes
How to Tell the Booster
Input End from the Output
1. The depth of the threaded hole on the output end is
always deeper than the threaded hole on the input
end.
2. On an amplifying booster (gain > 1.0), the larger
diameter end is the input end. On a reducing booster
(gain < 1.0) the larger diameter end is the output end.
On a neutral acting booster the diameters are equal.
CAUTION
NEVER install a booster
upside down to change
an amplifying system to
a reducing system. The
boosters are dimensionally
asymmetric. They are tuned
from input to output to act
like an acoustic lens. Re-
versing them will not give the
expected results and may
causedamagetothesystem.
3. The cap screws on the booster mounting rings are
always inserted from the output end toward the input
end.
How to Tell if the Booster
Is Amplifying or Reducing
Boosters have a die-stamped number on their surface that
indicates their gain or reduction. If the number is greater than
1.0 (e.g. 1.5), it is an amplifying booster. If the number is
less than 1.0 (e.g. 0.6), it is a reducing or reverse booster.
A neutral booster has no gain and has 1.0 stamped on it. A
neutral or coupling booster is used to provide another probe
stack clamping location for added stability.

Turn the generator OFF and:
1. Check the system. Change the probe to one that is
known to be good.
2. Turn the generator ON, and see if the fault condition
has been corrected.
Overtemperature
When the system overheats, and the generator’s internal
temperature exceeds 85°C (185°F) an overtemperature
fault condition will trip.
When the system cools, the system automatically resets

Welding Problems
Weak Welds
Weak welds, or underwelding, is caused by insufficient
energy being transmitted to the part. You can increase
the weld pressure, increase the weld duration (Time or
Energy) or change to a higher gain booster to increase
the amplitude to increase the energy delivered to the
weld.
Inconsistent Welds
Variations in plastic due to filler materials and moisture
absorption may lead to inconsistent welds. Fillers can
be especially troublesome if they are not uniformly
distributed, the content is too high or it contains too
much or poor quality regrind or degraded plastic.
Try welding by energy. This eliminates many
inconsistencies. There should be no unusual or loud
noise from the acoustic stack. If there is, disassemble
the stack and reassemble.
Exchange the probe with another unit to see if the problem
disappears. If not, exchange the generator with another
unit to try and isolate the problem.
The horn amplitude may not be uniform if it has been
machined, altered or damaged. All of these will change
the resonant frequency of the horn. You can have the
horn analyzed.

Dukane ISO
ISO CERTIFICATION
Dukane chose to become ISO 9001:2008 certi-
fied in order to demonstrate to our customers
our continuing commitment to being a quality
vendor. By passing its audit, Dukane can assure
you that we have in place a well–defined and
systematic approach to quality design, manu-
facturing, delivery and service. This certificate
reinforces Dukane's status as a quality vendor
of technology and products.
The ISO 9001:2008 standard establishes a
minimum requirement for these requirements
and starts transitioning the company from a
traditional inspection–oriented quality system
to one based on partnership for continuous
improvement. This concept is key in that Du-
kane no longer focuses on inspection, but on
individual processes.
Dukane's quality management system is based
on the following three objectives:
1. Customer oriented quality. The aim is to
improve customer satisfaction.
2. Quality is determined by people. The aim
is to improve the internal organization and
cooperation between staff members.
3. Quality is a continuous improvement.
The aim is to continuously improve the
internal organization and the competitive
position.
To achieve ISO 9001:2008 certification, you
must prove to one of the quality system regis-
trar groups that you meet three requirements:
1. Leadership
2. Involvement
3. Quality in Line Organizations and Quality
System Infrastructure.
