Abstract: An ultrasonic system has an ultrasonic stack excited by a power supply. The ultrasonic stack has a plurality of components, including an ultrasonic converter, a booster and an ultrasonic horn. A method of controlling the ultrasonic system with the power supply includes upon replacing any of the components of the ultrasonic stack with a replacement component, inputting an amplitude parameter of the replacement component into the power supply, determining with the power supply an amplitude of an AC excitation signal at which to excite the ultrasonic converter based on amplitude parameters of the components including the amplitude parameter of each replacement component. The power supply then sets the amplitude of the AC excitation signal at this determined amplitude.

Abstract: Laser channels of a simultaneous laser welding system are controlled using profiling where there is a profile associated with each laser channel for each active weld step of the laser channel and the laser channels are controlled using the respective profiles for each active weld step of each laser channel. In an aspect, the actuator of the simultaneous laser welding system is controlled using one or more of laser light intensity amplitude profiling, force profiling, distance profiling and laser energy profiling. In an aspect, one or more conditions are used to determine when to transition from a step of a cycle of the simultaneous laser welding system. The conditions can be any of time, accumulation of laser energy, actuator position, and actuator force.

Abstract: Laser and infrared welding systems comprising a laser welder or an infrared welder having integrated annealing are provided. Annealing may begin before, during, or after welding has begun. Several forms of annealing are provided, including annealing in an oven; annealing via heating with a source of pressurized, heated air; annealing with an infrared lamp; annealing via a heated fixture and/or tooling; and annealing via laser.

Abstract: A work piece processing device includes a work piece processing head supported by an actuator including one of a servo actuator, a pneumatic actuator, a hydraulic actuator, an electric actuator, and a chain drive actuator. A controller uses two or more parameters concurrently in the controls of the work piece processing head and the actuator. According to a further aspect, the controller uses a time duration in the controls in conjunction with a predetermined parameter.
