Dukane Patented MPC*

Multi - Point Control


The MPC unit is designed for assembly systems where one
ultrasonic power supply is sequenced to several ultrasonic
probes. Our unique Control and Process Monitoring Profile is
available for each individual probe when coupled with a Dukane
iQ Series ultrasonic generator.

MPC panel can be mounted in a through panel


configuration as pictured here or as a external
stand-alone module.
MPC has the ability to sequence up to 16 probes or
converters and can be purchased from 2 to 16 point
control. Color-coded status LEDs insure ease of system
operation and field troubleshooting. The MPC module
can be used with all frequency and power levels of
ultrasonic systems.

Some of the patented features include:


Fully protected from improper programming and power line irregularities.
Binary coded selection inputs 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.

MPC Controllers

Fault monitor detects a shorted relay coil driver and halts operation.
Hold-up time of internal supplies - designed to ride-out any line problem.

Eliminate equipment failures due to improper machine


programming.
Dukanes Multi-point control coupled with a iQ series
power supply offers independent control and process
monitoring of weld time, weld energy,
and amplitude. This allows for suspect
or bad part alarms independent for
each weld point. Typical automated
machines using Dukanes MPC can
have an illuminated part map that
would immediately indicate to the
operator potential weld defects. No
other system offers this level of control.
