This morning worked with Doug Mason to set-up an alternative ultrasonic welder for the connector on MP10. After a fair amount of tweaking, this machine which is the old Air Ten Truman Cell Bracket welder, could work in a pinch with some modifications. We finished with 30-40 parts in a row with no failures.
About 10am, Keith Raiford with Branson Ultrasonics came in to work on the Branson Model 910IW welder on MP10. After a thorough investigation we found the following problems with our old welder: The main power supply for the welder was dead w/ no output, (A new power supply was installed) The upper exhaust fan in the cabinet had failed, (Both fans in the cabinet were replaced to protect the ps) The horn cylinder was replaced, The trigger switch was replaced, The trim pot on the front of the machine was jacked up and we replace it, Both air regulators on the front of the machine were broken and we replaced them. We bummed a packed of mylar washers from him for the horn, Went through the horn stack and serviced it, Tuned the machine, aligned the horn and fixture and started welding parts. Potter was happy with the parts. The following set-up exists:
38psi air pressure
1.5 weld time
.050 on hold time
5.5 trigger
