Integrated Welders

Branson 900 Series Integrated Welders are self-contained ultrasonic plastics assembly systems that combine power supply, controls, indicators, and welding stand in a compact bench unit to conserve work space, ease setup, simplify operation, and facilitate relocation.

The integrated welder is the ideal "entry level" system for new users of the technology and those with lower production requirements. Available with power output of 1000 or 2000 Watts, the integrated welder Models IW and IW+ feature digital controls for accurate and repeatable setups. In addition, the IW+ models enable position (distance) welding in either collapse or absolute modes with limits. When using the welder, the assembly operation is characterized by simplicity, speed, and efficiency. Once the system is programmed for a particular workpiece, no further adjustments are required.

IW models feature welding in time; ultrasonics and force are applied to parts for a precise, preset time, and parts are held under force for a precise hold time; adjustable afterburst delay and duration times may be set, if required. Display of time and afterburst parameters is digital.

IW+ models give choice of time or position (distance) modes (either absolute or collapse). In absolute, the weld is terminated at a predetermined point in the stroke, measured from the top of the stroke. In collapse, the weld is terminated at a predetermined point in the stroke after the horn contacts the part and the trigger switch is activated. The position display is digital. With position modes, upper and lower limit ranges may be selected.
