Abstract: An electrical waveform generator for driving an electromechanical load includes a digital signal processor connected to a waveform generator component in turn connected to an amplifier section with a filter network, the latter being connected to sensing and conditioning circuit componentry that is in turn connected to analog-to-digital converter circuitry. A digital memory stores digitized voltage and current waveform information. The processor determines a phase difference between voltage and current waveforms, compares the determined phase difference to a phase difference command and generates a phase error or correction signal. The processor also generates an amplitude error signal for inducing the amplifier section to change its output amplitude to result in a predetermined amplitude error level for a respective one of the voltage and current waveforms.

Abstract: The invention utilizes a multiple frequency ultrasound generator driving a multiple frequency harmonic transducer array to improve cleaning and processing effects while eliminating damage to parts being cleaned. An AC switch and circuitry to modify the output of an ultrasound generator in combination with techniques such as random AM and FM signals are used to produce ultrasound waves that have no single frequency components which eliminates exciting parts being cleaned into resonance. Generator signals that increase cavitation efficiency and that have successive time periods with predominately stable cavitation and predominantly transient cavitation further improve the performance of the cleaning or processing systems.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the resonance frequency for a vibration welder are described. The vibration frequencies at a predetermined vibration level and on both sides of the resonance frequency are derived and are then used to determine and operate the vibration welder at the resonance frequency. In one embodiment the vibration frequency of the vibration welder is swept up from one side of the resonance point and the vibration amplitude is monitored and a first frequency at a particular vibration amplitude is determined. The same sweeping is done from the other side of the resonance point and a second frequency determined for the same vibration amplitude reference level but on the other side of the resonance frequency. The two measured frequencies are then combined to yield the resonance frequency which can then be used to operate the vibration welder.

Abstract: An ultrasonic processing method is disclosed wherein during the processing time interval the motional amplitude and engaging force of the resonating horn and thereby the power and engaging pressure to the workpiece is varied to improve weld strength and decrease weld cycle time. The variation in motional amplitude and engaging force may be in response to a process condition such as a change in dimensions of the workpiece, a sharp rise in the transducer power curve, or in response to the lapse of a predetermined time interval.
