1.1 Safety Requirements and Warnings

This chapter contains an explanation of the different safety notice symbols and icons

found in this manual and provides additional safety information for ultrasonic welding.

This chapter also describes how to contact Branson for assistance.

1.1.1 Symbols Found in this Manual

Three symbols used throughout this manual warrant special attention:

WARNING General Warning

WARNING indicates a hazardous situation or practice which, if not

avoided, can result in serious injury or death.

CAUTION General Warning

CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could

result in minor or moderate injury. It can also alert the user to unsafe

practices or conditions that can damage equipment if not corrected.

NOTICE

NOTICE contains important information. It does not alert the user to potential injury,

but only to a situation that might eventually require additional work or modification if

you ignore it initially.

100-412-203 REV. 04 3

1.2 General Precautions

Take the following precautions before servicing the power supply:

• Be sure the power switch is in the Off position before making any electrical connections.

• To prevent the possibility of an electrical shock, always plug the power supply into a grounded

power source.

• Power supplies produce high voltage. Before working on the power supply assembly, do the

following:

• Turn off the power supply;

• Unplug main power; and

• Allow at least 2 minutes for capacitors to discharge.

• High voltage is present in the power supply. Do not operate with the cover removed.

• High line voltages exist in the ultrasonic power supply assembly. Common points are tied to

circuit reference, not chassis ground. Therefore, use only non-grounded, battery-powered

multimeters when testing the power supply assembly. Using other types of test equipment can

present a shock hazard.

• Keep hands from under the horn. Down force (pressure) and ultrasonic vibrations can cause

injury.

• Do not cycle the welding system if either the RF cable or converter is disconnected.

• When using larger horns, avoid situations where fingers could be pinched between the horn and

the fixture.

1.2.1 Intended Use of the System

The DCX Power Supply and components are designed to be used as part of an ultrasonic

welding system. These are designed for a wide variety of welding or processing

applications.

The system can be used to perform ultrasonic welding, inserting, staking, spot welding,

swaging, degating, and continuous ultrasonic operations. It is designed for automated,

semi-automated and/or manual production operations.

1.2.2 Emissions

When being processed, certain plastic materials can emit toxic fumes, gases or other

emissions that can be hazardous to the operator’s health. Where such materials are

CAUTION Loud Noise Hazard

Sound level and frequency of the noise emitted during the ultrasonic

assembly process may depend upon a. type of application, b. size,

shape and composition of the material being assembled, c. shape and

material of the holding fixture, d. welder setup parameters and e.

tool design.

Some parts vibrate at an audible frequency during the process. Some

or all of these factors may result in an uncomfortable noise being

emitted during the process.

• In such cases operators may need to be provided with personal protective

equipment. See 29 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) 1910.95

Occupational Noise Exposure.

4 100-412-203 REV. 04

processed, proper ventilation of the workstation is required. Check your materials

suppliers for recommended protection when processing their materials.

WARNING Corrosive Material Hazard

Processing of many materials, such as PVC, can be hazardous to an

operator’s health and could cause corrosion/damage to the

equipment. Use proper ventilation and take protective measures.
