iQ Auto-Plus with patented Multi-Point Control (MPC)

Quick and Easy integration

Quick and economical integration for automation systems. Seamlessly fits your control panel either vertically or horizontally. Integrated MPC(Multi-Point Controller) minimizes cabling to ensure a clean look and finish.

Superior Weld Results

Achieve consistent weld process and shorter cycle times with Dukane’s patented MPC and iQLinQTM Dukane’s MPC monitors each probe and safely switches from probe to probe to minimize switching time. iQLinQTM provides access to process control parameters to monitor each weld recipe for optimum weld results. Patented Trigger by Power™ feature ensures consistent welds by providing a sufficient and repeatable amount of pressure/force to the part before the weld cycle starts.

Weld by Distance for precision and accuracy

Integrated Weld by Distance regulates up to 8 encoders for precise control of weld collapse or absolute distance weld modes. Dukane’s iQ Auto-Plus series with patented Trigger by Power™ feature is the only probe based product in the market that can accurately utilize and monitor weld collapse mode. The iQ Auto-Plus MPC system has the fastest sampling rate in the industry(0.5 ms) and delivers precise control to the process.

Efficiency & Reliability

Flow-through cooling with a thermostatically operated fan to ensure your generator operates at the highest efficiency. Ultrasonic Overload Protection, with detailed fault description for ease of troubleshooting. Power factor correction (PFC) provides for high power conversion efficiency (>92%), by allowing the generator to consume less power, and run cooler. .

Troubleshooting with Ease

iQLinQ™ assists in data acquisition, process setup, and troubleshooting. Industry 4.0 provides remote access to the generator to tune your process. Integrated Multi-Point Control can sequence up to eight ultrasonic probes. Each probe is independently controlled and monitored allowing different process settings and provides independent suspect or bad part alarms for each weld point.

Overview

Designed for OEM’s

The integration-ready iQ Auto-Plus with patented MPC (Multi-Point Controller) was designed to fit your control panel with ease. The overall form of the generator fits seamlessly into a panel, either vertically or horizontally and an intelligent cable management setup ensures a clean look in your control panel. Integrating the iQ Auto-Plus with MPC modules reduces cabling and simplifies integration.

iQLinQ™ Controls the process & parameters through EtherNet/IP or other protocols with iQLinQ™. iQLinQ™ gives you access to set, enable, configure, diagnose, and collect in an intuitive environment developed for Industry 4.0.

iQ Auto-Plus Ultrasonic power supplies are automation-ready systems with the patented Multi-Point Controller built into one convenient unit. This robust and compact unit is perfectly designed for automotive industry multi-probe automated systems. Our industry-leading 0.5 millisecond multi-core processing speed provides extreme accuracy and repeatability. iQ Auto-Plus MPC is available in 600 or 1200 watt power levels and these panel mount units include an Ethernet/IP port for data acquisition and process control.

Key Features

  • 100% digital control of all power supply functions and parameters allows for unique configurations and future upgrades. Control includes digital frequency synthesis.
  • Industry leading data acquisition rate speed of 0.5 ms due to advanced multi-core architecture provides for increased weld accuracy and repeatability
  • Integrated EtherNet/IP, Profibus, PowerLink, Profinet, EtherCAT, CC–Link, or Modbus TCP protocols allow for flexibility in remote data acquisition and process control. A USB port is included for connection to the PC Interface Tool
  • Optional Profibus, PowerLink, Profinet, EtherCAT, CC–Link, or Modbus TCP protocols allow for flexibility in remote data acquisition and process control. A USB port is included for connection to the PC Interface software program “iQ Commander”
  • Digi-Trac tuning automatically tracks the resonant frequency digitally. Adjusts the output frequency to match the acoustic stack (horn, booster, and transducer). This is done for every weld cycle and eliminates the need to manually tune the generator
  • Ultrasonic Overload Protection, with detailed fault description for ease of troubleshooting. The overload power limit is based on true RMS power output level.
  • Line and Load Amplitude Regulation is maintained independent of load force and incoming line voltage variations. Through a closed-loop amplitude control, the amplitude regulation maintains output amplitude by correcting for fluctuations in line voltage and output power loading. Maintained within 1% to provide weld process consistency and shorter cycle times
  • Highly efficient (> 92%) power conversion with PFC
  • Universal AC power input (240 VAC required for power level over 600 W)
  • System Safe Power-up sequence: 1) AC power inrush protection, 2) Supervisory System Monitor
  • Optional weld by distance feature to monitor up to eight analog 0-10 VDC encoders when used with patented MPC (requires customer supplied encoders)
  • Weld by Distance/Energy/Peak Power/Time Limits for each parameter are monitored to ensure quality and consistency
  • Patented Trigger by Power allows for repeatable Weld by Energy, or Collapse Distance modes
  • Binary coded selection prevents selection of 2 probe relays
  • Logic interlocks prevent selection changes when ultrasound is on
  • Ring-down monitor allows relay switching only when voltage is off
  • Fault monitor detects a shorted relay coil driver and halts operation
  • Hold-up time of internal supplies - designed to ride-out any AC line disturbances
