Overview: The document details the features and functionalities of the Dukane MPC (Multi-Probe Control) unit, designed for assembly systems utilizing ultrasonic power supplies. It highlights the integration with Dukane ultrasonic generators for individual probe control and process monitoring.
Specifications: The MPC unit can sequence up to 16 ultrasonic probes or converters, available in configurations from 2 to 16 point control. It is compatible with all frequency and power levels of ultrasonic systems. The module can be mounted as a standalone or as an internal card for DPC series power supplies.
Control Features: The MPC offers various welding controls including Weld by Time, Weld by Energy, Weld by Peak Power, and Amplitude Selection in 1% increments. It also includes process monitoring capabilities with suspect or bad part limits, and minimum-maximum thresholds for weld time, energy, and peak power.
System Indicators: The system status indicator uses color-coded LEDs to display system activity and faults: Green for system OK, Orange for non-critical faults, and Red for critical faults. Probe selection indicators show Green for selected probe channels and Red for active ultrasonics.
Patented Features: The MPC includes several patented features such as protection from improper programming, binary coded selection inputs, logic interlocks, a ring-down monitor, a fault monitor, and hold-up time for internal supplies to handle line problems.
Benefits: The MPC system eliminates equipment failures due to improper programming and offers independent control and monitoring for each weld point. It provides alarms for suspect or bad parts and can visually indicate potential weld defects to operators through an illuminated part map.
Additional Information: The document includes references to various cables and configurations for connecting the MPC with other Dukane systems, ensuring comprehensive integration and functionality.
