1.7 Safety instructions

¬ The machine is suitable for use in the zone EX II 3G Ex pzc [ic] IIA T3 Gc. Only
use the machine for the welding of copper tubes.
¬ Please always use the protective devices intended for the relevant
application!
¬ Avoid making contact with welding tools (sonotrode and anvil) while welding
is in progress.
¬ Ensure that the welding tools can never touch.
¬ Please note that the initial start of the machine (flushing for approx. 10
seconds) must be carried out in the safe area, outside of the hazardous area.
There may be no solvents or fumes in the air (e.g., due to manufacturing
processes in the vicinity of the machine) before switching on the machine
and while it is in operation.
¬ Vapours and gases as a result of welding tasks may present a health risk.
Avoid inhaling such vapours or gases.
¬ Monitor the immediate vicinity of the machine and restrict access to the
direct vicinity of the machine to one person!
¬ It is extremely important to ensure that the machine is in proper condition
while it is in operation.
¬ Do not use the machine if parts of the housing are damaged.
¬ Before every start-up check that the purging air escapes in the area around
the sonotrode.
¬ Carry the machine or its components using only the handles.
¬ For reasons of safety, a welding cycle may be initiated only if the part to be
welded or workpiece has been correctly inserted; special procedures when
setting up the machine are excepted from this.
¬ Maintenance and repair tasks must be performed only with the energy
supply disconnected and by accordingly trained and qualified personnel who
are complying with the applicable safety regulations.
¬ Setup, maintenance and service work may only be carried out outside the

Safety instructions

¬ It may become necessary to set out special instructions and work guidelines
due to your specific manufacturing process. Failure to comply with these
instructions and guidelines may result in accidents causing severe physical
injury or leading to financial damage. By complying with these provisions,
drastic consequences may be avoided.
¬ For persons with active Class III implants there is a risk relative to EMI (elec-
tromagnetic interference) relative to the welding module and the controller.
At activation of the opened assemblies (for service applications) access is
prohibited to this group of persons!
¬ The wearing of personal hearing protection is mandatory when operating
the machine.
¬ The welding gun is equipped with an electrical safety monitor. To a great
extent, this prevents an inadvertent triggering of the welding process when
there is no part to be welded inserted.
¬ Use only original spare parts for the Kobra-III welding system. Failure to use
genuine parts will result in the loss of the EC conformity (CE) and ex-confor-
mity as well as the loss of the guarantee.

1.9 Intended use

The machine is designed for seal welding and the cutting of copper tubes. Appli-
cation areas include gas-pressurised joints particularly in the area of cooling and
refrigeration applications.

The material must be weldable for the machine to be used. The shape and struc-
ture of the part to be welded further influence the welding result.

Tubes should have an outer tube diameter of at least 2 mm and 7 mm at the


most, optionally 10 mm, with a maximum wall thickness of 0.5 - 1 mm.

The quality of copper tubes used should be consistent with the Y35 grade in
accordance with EN12735-2.

Any possibility of use or application that deviates thereof is not in conformity


with this system conception and therefore prohibited. Likewise, the ultrasonic
generator (controller) may only be used for this system. Any type of misuse of
the machine or its components may result in unknown dangers to operators and
innocent bystanders.

Improper use of, or unauthorised technical changes to, the machine by the custo-
mer will result in the loss of the warranty.

2. Machine Description

2.1 General information

2.1.1 Description of functions

Many metal weld materials with melting points below approx. 700°C can be
joined by ultrasonic welding without the direct supply of heat or adhesive.

The welded joint strength depends on material properties, device-specific para-


meters, the design of joint surfaces, the location of the weld seam, the type and
design of welding tools, as well as the proper application of methods ensured by
the operator.

For this reason it is necessary to determine the weldability of the relevant ma-
terial, the corresponding optimum work conditions, the operating parameters,
as well as the optimum tool geometry for the welding operation in the SCHUNK
SONOSYSTEMS application laboratory.

Welding occurs thorough introducing oscillation energy. This welds materials


without the addition of auxiliary materials.

Piezo-ceramic discs are used to generate ultrasonic vibration. A generator, re-


ferred to as "ultrasonic controller", is used to supply the vibration generator
(converter) with voltage. The vibration amplitude is transmitted via mechanical
means and transferred to the sonotrode. The shape of the sonotrode work sur-
face has been adapted to the welding conditions.

2.1.2 Workpieces

Materials to be welded (workpieces) include copper and weldable copper alloys.

Application limits of the system include the size of the workpieces, the size of
surfaces to be welded, as well as material properties.

2.2 The fundamentals of ultrasonic welding

In order to achieve optimum welding results, it is essential that the electronic and
mechanical components have been adapted to each other.

C. Converter
D. Anvil
E. Part to be welded

control system)
G. Mains connection

Fig. 4: Schematic structure of the vibration-relevant elements

The input frequency of 50 or 60 Hz is converted into approx. 20 kHz by the ultra-


sonic controller. The converter transforms this electrical energy into mechanical
vibration energy, whereby the mechanical vibration frequency of the oscillation
system corresponds to the electrical frequency of the ultrasonic controller of
approx. 20kHz. The booster between the sonotrode and the converter serves as
an amplitude transformation device.

The following welding parameters determine the quality of the ultrasonically


welded joint:

¬ Sonotrode amplitude
¬ Welding pressure (operating pressure)
¬ Energy
¬ Welding height
¬ Welding duration
¬ Deposited metal

Machine Description

Please be advised that also the material qualities, proper use and tool wear will
significantly affect the results.

Geometrical features, wall thickness and the material quality are crucial data
points for making settings.

When the welding machine was purchased from the factory, it is adapted, if
necessary, to the customer's part to be welded with the relevant parameter
settings saved in the ultrasonic controller.

In the event of changes to the material and/or geometrical features of the


part to be welded, then the relevant parameter settings will have to be

i re-determined.
Prior to changing your parameter settings please check whether the new mate-
rial is suited to the welding process and/or the welding device.
SCHUNK SONOSYSTEMS customer service will be happy to provide advice.

The pressure transducer integrated in the ultrasonic controller reduces the sup-
ply pressure to the required working pressure.

In order to achieve optimum welding results, welding continues until a specified


final height is reached, while the welding duration and welding energy are used
as test parameters. The quality of welding results must be checked in any case
and the welding parameter settings should be adjusted if necessary.

The welding tool work surfaces (sonotrode and anvil) are specially textured. This
texture affects the welding quality. These work surfaces are subject to wear and
tear and must be checked and replaced at regular intervals or if they are worn.

The amplitude, which can be determined, for instance, with the aid of a dial
comparator (dial gauge), corresponds to 50% of the mechanical sonotrode
displacement. The welding operation is performed as a result of the mechanical
vibrations of the sonotrode work surfaces.

If the amplitude is set too high, the weld material may become overstrained and
the tools may break. When the amplitude is set too low, this generally adversely
affects the quality of the weld and is indicated by a longer welding duration,
among other factors. This in turn leads to an increased build-up of heat, which
will also reduce the service life of the tools.

Fig. 9: Welding gun with inserted tube Fig. 10: Welding gun with inserted tube - top view

The Kobra-III welding machine is used for sealing copper tubes in a gas-tight man-
ner by applying ultrasound and cutting the tube in the same work step. The outer
tube diameter should be at least 2 mm and 7 mm at the most, optionally
10 mm, with a maximum wall thickness of 1 mm for tools that do not cut tubes.
The quality of copper tubes used should be consistent with the Y35 grade in
accordance with EN12735-2. The specification for the maximum tube diameter
that can be processed is dependent on the welding tool used, the wall thickness
and the quality of the tube material.

The Kobra-III welding machine has the possibility of:

¬ welding and cutting copper tubes with an outer diameter from Ø 2 mm to Ø


7 mm (optional Ø 10 mm) and a wall thickness of 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm.

2.6 Safety system ‒ Ex protection

This machine is designed for use in class EX II 3G Ex pzc [ic] IIA T3 Gc explosive
environments of. This temperature class is adhered to if correctly handled and
with the correct setting of the welding parameters according to specification.

With faulty machine settings or operation, which lead to extremely long welding
times or to an extremely high energy input, the surface temperature of the tools
can temporarily rise above the specified temperature. The machine operator or
setter is responsible for checking the correct settings required for that.

The EX zone 2 area can be an area of up to max. 800 mm diameter around the
welding area.

Machine Description

In the rear part of the welding gun, limited by a nozzle, a specific quantity of air
per time flows into the interior and generates an excess pressure of min. 0.25
mbar (excess pressure encapsulation). Before operating the machine, make sure
there is no explosive gas in the welding gun, by flushing min. 5 times interior
volume with fresh air for 10 sec. when starting.

The inflowing air quantity exits at the front at defined openings on the perimeter
of the sonotrode. This excess pressure prevents harmful gases from penetrating
into the housing. In addition, the outflowing purging air in the area of the tools
generates a safe area.

Signaling and operating elements that are not in the enclosed area are protected
by zener barriers.

Modifications to the machine will render the EC conformity (CE) and EX conformi-
ty null an void.

DANGER

Air outlet has been sealed or modified

Explosion hazard! Risk of injury!


Without air escaping the plant is no longer explosion-proof, since this ensures
that no explosive mixture is present in the plant and in the welding area.

→ Do not press buttons


→ Retreat from the explosive area immediately
→ Silencers must be checked for function

i The escaping air also cools the tools.


The lack of cooling also reduces the service life of the tools!

3.6 Place of use / place of operation

DANGER

Danger of explosion!

Death or serious injury

The ultrasonic controller, monitors, barcode scanner and external emergen-


cy stop box must not be installed and operated in a potentially explosive
environment!

The design of machine components is based on the assumption that the machine
would be set up and operated at a location that is protected against the effects of
weather.
The machine should be accessible from all sides to enable the performance of
maintenance and repair tasks.

We recommend suspending the welding gun from a spring-loaded tool balancer


to prevent posture-induced damage. Ensure that the tool balancer is correctly
secured in position at all times.

Adequate and appropriate on-site lighting for the machine must be available at
the place of machine operation. (To this end, comply with occupational health
and safety regulations and company-internal specifications)

3.7 Space requirement of the machine

The installation surface of the machine is 74 mm x 519 mm (W x L) for the version


handle at top, see „Fig. 117: Top handle“, without system cable:
The installation surface of the controller is 450 mm x 550 mm (W x D) with
handles and calibration unit.
An adequate clearance must be provided for the system cable.
Operating personnel needs additional space.

DANGER

Touching energised parts

Fatal electrical shock if energised surfaces are touched

→ Ensure that the ultrasonic controller is not misused as a storage area (e.g.
for beverages).

DANGER

Bending and deformation the system cable

Risk of injury
Impairment of the operation of the entire system

→ Please note that the system cable must not be bent or deformed!
→ The minimum bending radius of max. 300 mm must be ensured!
→ The system cable must not be twisted!
→ Do not store any loads on the system cable!

Extension cables for the connection to the 230V mains longer than 10 m can

i cause unacceptable voltage drops if the conductor cross section is insufficient!


The functionality of the entire system can be affected. The length of the exten-
sion cable should be less than 10 m.

3.12 Dismantling

Dismantling is carried out in reverse order of the sequence described under


„3.10 Installation of the welding machine“.

3.13 Commissioning

The basic settings of the machine were already made by Schunk Sonosystems at
commissioning.

Commissioning takes place by switching on the main switch on the ultrasonic


controller, see „5.4 Switching the device on or off“.

The first start parameters can be found in the guide values table, see „4.3 Start
parameters table (guide values for left / right-cutting tools)“.
They shall only be used for initial welding tests and must be adapted to the
respective requirements such as material quality, wall thickness, tube diameter,
tolerances and the desired target values (max. tightness or maximum tool life).

The machine is ready for operation after it has been accepted by the
manufacturer.

4. Setup

4.1 General information

Factory-set values are based on the supplied sample parts and empirical values
for the respective material. The selected starting values are usually in the lower
average range to ensure that tools and the welding system do not sustain da-
mage. After checking the strength, tightness and other test values, the welding
parameters must be adapted to the desired requirements.

If SCHUNK SONOSYSTEMS was unable to make any settings, please contact the
SCHUNK SONOSYSTEMS service department to obtain the appropriate essential
standard parameter settings suitable for the part to be welded
(see „Contact Information“).

If SCHUNK SONOSYSTEMS was not provided with your samples, then the machine
is set according to internal specifications.
If this is the case, please provide the SCHUNK SONOSYSTEMS laboratory with
sample parts in order to determine the optimised parameter settings suitable
for your process and to be able to suggest adjustments and improvements if
necessary.

Please keep in mind that the sonotrode, the booster and the converter must be
in resonance. Changes made to the sonotrode require new resonance tuning at
the factory.

It may become necessary to adjust parameter settings according to the indivi-


i dual product during production due to different qualities of copper, wall thick-
nesses, tube diameters and tolerances.

Please contact SCHUNK SONOSYSTEMS to determine parameter settings for


dimensions not listed in the table.

Make sure to select the welding position so that the tube always remains

i completely within the welding tools during the welding process (guide value:
welding positions 2 to 8 for a tube with a diameter of 6 mm).
If the tubes exits the welding surfaces, this can result in untight welded joints.

welding dimension and energy errors.
You can set for each error whether it should be analysed or ignored. Errors to be
analysed are displayed in green, errors to be ignored in grey.

If "... error is analysed" has been selected, the number of errors is counted. The
machine stops after the set number of errors within the set number of welds
(e.g.: the machine stops after 15 errors if 15 errors have occurred within 30
welds).

If "... error is not analysed" has been selected, the errors are displayed but the
machine continues running.

Prerequisite is at least 6.5 bar supply pressure and a round, smooth cut tube end.
Always carry out the measurement in stop position 1. If the tube rests correctly
against the limit stop, the measurement is released by the signal lamp (orange
light) and the start button must be pressed.

Automatically calculated values can also be edited manually at any time.

If the tubes are very thick, the automatic tube detection no longer works relia-
bly because they cannot be completely squeezed.

i Due to fluctuating results depending on thickness, diameter and hardness, the


tube detection is not an accurate measurement but only an aid to be able to
start the teaching process with unknown tubes!

Operation

Compliance with the following information is required to avoid hazardous


situations:

1. The ultrasonic controller must be installed in an non-explosive area where


explosive gases etc. are not possible.

2. A maintenance unit must be used to supply the ultrasonic controller with air.
The minimum supply pressure indicated on the maintenance unit must be 6.5
bar

3. The start parameters adapted to the requirements by tests must be observed

The welding gun is equipped with an electrical safety monitor, which widely
prevents an inadvertent triggering of the welding process if about to be welded
is not inserted.

1. Bring the system in welding position


The welding gun is guided to the part to be welded.
2. Insert the part to be welded.
Position machine in such a way the tube in the welding gun is perpendicular
to the machine. When the tube touches either the sonotrode or the anvil
and at the same time a limit stop, a green LED lights up to enable welding.
3. Until the start button is pressed, the contact between the tool, workpiece
and limit stop must be maintained.
4. Press the start button → The pliers close
The weld is triggered (duration approx. 1.2 seconds).

10.1.1 Functions

The Kobra-III welding machine allows to use barcode scanner supporting RS232
interfaces. The barcode scanner can be used for the following actions:

¬ Load already taught welding parameters


¬ Load a sequence of welding parameters (sequence function must be
enabled)
¬ Log product information together with a welding

10.1.2 Activating the barcode scanner function

Fig. 138: Activating the barcode scanner function

¬ After activating the barcode scanner function the machine can load welding
parameters and welding parameter sequences (sequence function must be
enabled) and log product information.
¬ The machine disables the welding function in the production mode until a
valid barcode is scanned.
• If the name of a single welding parameter has been scanned, the machi-
ne performs one welding and will be disabled again.
• If no welding parameter matching the scanned barcode string is found,
the machine will search for a sequence with the specified name. If a se-
quence with the specified name exists, the sequence will be loaded and
the first welding parameter will be loaded. After finishing the welding
parameter sequence the machine will be disabled again.
• To add product information to the weld results, a substring in the bar-
code can be identified using a specific prefix. By default the prefix is ‘+‘.

Example using default settings

¬ If a valid welding parameter called „weldParam12“ has been saved and the
sequence function is disabled, following actions can be performed:
• If the Barcode string „weldParam12“ has been received, the „weld-
Param12“ welding parameter will be loaded and the machine will be
enabled.
• If the Barcode string „weldParam12+57439“ has been received, the
„weldParam12“ welding parameter will be loaded, the machine will
be enabled and after the next welding the weld results will contain
„57439“.
• If the Barcode string „+57439“ or „57439“ has been received, the ma-
chine will remain disabled because a welding parameter with the name
„ 57439“ does not exist and cannot be loaded.

10.1.5 Further settings

¬ If the barcode scanner should only be used for loading welding parameters
or for logging information, the other function can be disabled in the confi-
guration file. To achieve this, the operator must leave the Sutwin program
by entering the standard password and change the respective entry in the
configuration file. The file is located at C:\Sut\sut.ini.

¬ Set „LoadWeldingParameterWithoutDialogActive=Off“ to disable the load


function
¬ Set „LogSerialNumberWithoutDialogActive=Off“ to disable the logging
function
¬ Change the prefix behind the „LogSerialNumberUsingFollowingPrefix=„ entry
to use a different prefix for identifying a substring which contains product

10.5 Uninterruptible Power Supply (optional)

Back-UPSTM BK500EI 500VA (APC)

10.5.1 Function/general points

The uninterruptible power supply (UPS) protects the electronic control unit/PC
from fluctuations and interruptions in mains voltage.
If the interruption in mains voltage lasts for a longer period, the PC is shut down
in a controlled way. This avoids damage to the hard drive and loss of data in the
event of mains interference.
All settings for operating the UPS are made using the UPS-specific software
“PowerChute Personal Edition” which is already installed on the PC system of
machines with UPS option.

10.5.2 Hardware installation

The UPS can be supplied completely by the control unit via socket no. 8, feed-in
of the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) takes place via connector no. 9. The
external electrical connections listed below must be set up. In addition, a plug-
type connection X7 within the electronic control unit must be plugged to another
socket, see „10.5.2.2 Plugging X7.1/X7.1 UPS into another socket“
