Abstract
An apparatus having a first treatment module and a second treatment module, at least one of which includes a welding device for treating one or more workpieces. The apparatus has a controller arranged to: receive a real-time amplitude signal of ultrasonic vibration of at least one of the first treatment module and the second treatment module during a treatment cycle; segment the amplitude signal into a plurality of amplitude segments for the treatment cycle; monitor an amplitude value of each of the plurality of amplitude segments during the treatment cycle; operate a plurality of closed-loop control algorithms to determine a plurality of amplitude adjustment values, each of the plurality of amplitude adjustment values corresponding to a respective one of the plurality of amplitude segments; and apply each amplitude adjustment value to the corresponding respective one of the plurality of amplitude segments during the subsequent treatment cycle in real-time.
