System Overview
Your
iQ Series
Ultrasonic Hand Held System has two
basic components: an ultrasonic generator, and a hand
probe.
Generator
The generator is specifically designed for ultrasonic appli-
cations using hand held probes. Using the available system
control inputs and outputs, the generator provides a versa-
tile stand-alone workstation.
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 is time and energy con-
trol. 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.
The generator’s compact size and its integrated hand grip
make it easy to carry.
It also includes an RFI line filter that passes strict CE test
specifications for global applications.
Hand Probes
The probes are perfect for manual spot welding, staking,
cutting and inserting applications. Both the HP and PG
(pistol grip) models include hangers so that when a probe
is not needed it can be hung on a counterbalanced hook.
Fittings for air-cooling are also standard on all probes.
Key Features
Compact Generator means this component is easy to
move, and there will be more space for other necessities
on the table or work bench.
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 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 de-
viation. The available output power is maintained
with any voltage input within the specified range.
This provides consistent system performance re-
gardless of line voltage fluctuations. It also elimi-
nates the need for bulky, external constant–volt-
age transformers.
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.
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.
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.
Trigger by Power produces greater weld consis-
tency by requiring that a sufficient amont of pres-
sure/force is applied to the part before the actual
weld begins.
CE Certification means that the system meets
the required European standards to be sold and
used in Europe.
ISO 9001 Certification means that this system
has been manufactured to high quality standards
and assures you of manufacturing excellence.
