acoustic stack (horn, booster, transducer) and ad-  
justs the generator output frequency to match it.  
This is done for every weld cycle and eliminates  
the need to manually tune the generator.  
System Overview  
Your iQ Series UltrasonicꢀHandꢀHeldꢀSystemꢀhas two  
basic components:an ultrasonic generator, and a hand  
probe.  
LineVoltageRegulationautomaticallymaintains  
constant amplitude regardless of line voltage de-  
viation. The available output power is maintained  
with any voltage input within the specified range.  
This provides consistent system performance re-  
gardless of line voltage fluctuations. It also elimi-  
nates the need for bulky, external constant–volt-  
age transformers.  
Generator  
The generator is specifically designed for ultrasonic appli-  
cations using hand held probes. Using the available system  
control inputs and outputs, the generator provides a versa-  
tile stand-alone workstation.  
This product’s rugged internal circuitry ensures a continu-  
ous resonant frequency lock at the start of each weld.  
Load Regulation provides constant amplitude  
automatically regardless of power draw. The ul-  
trasonic output amplitude level is held to within  
±1% to provide weld process consistency and re-  
duced weld cycle times.  
Standard to this line of generators is time and energy con-  
trol. The brightly lit display is easy to read. The menu  
structure makes programming simple, and the one-touch  
hot keys give the operator even more flexibility.  
The generator’s compact size and its integrated hand grip  
make it easy to carry.  
Industrial Line–Power Source means that  
standard systems will operate worldwide at all  
industrial high line voltage levels, whether it is  
200VAC @60Hz in Japan, 240VAC @50Hz in  
Europe or 208VAC @60Hz in the United States.  
There are no internal transformer taps to change  
for worldwide operation. North American sys-  
tems are optionally available to operate on the  
120VAC line voltage level.  
It also includes an RFI line filter that passes strict CE test  
specifications for global applications.  
Hand Probes  
The probes are perfect for manual spot welding, staking,  
cutting and inserting applications. Both the HP and PG  
(pistol grip) models include hangers so that when a probe  
is not needed it can be hung on a counterbalanced hook.  
Fittings for air-cooling are also standard on all probes.  
Multiple  
Electronic  
Overload  
protec-  
tion circuits prevent instantaneous com-  
ponent failure in the event of extreme out-  
put overload conditions, and rated overload  
power limit is based on the actual true RMS  
power output level.  
Key Features  
Compact Generator means this component is easy to  
move, and there will be more space for other necessities  
on the table or work bench.  
Trigger by Power produces greater weld consis-  
tency by requiring that a sufficient amont of pres-  
sure/force is applied to the part before the actual  
weld begins.  
Pulse Width Modulation incorporates patented  
circuitry giving the power supply the ability to  
efficiently change the output amplitude. This makes  
it possible to start large horns with reduced power. It  
also provides more power efficient switch-mode gen-  
erator operation and increased reliability.  
CE Certification means that the system meets  
the required European standards to be sold and  
used in Europe.  
ISO 9001 Certification means that this system  
has been manufactured to high quality standards  
and assures you of manufacturing excellence.  
Linear Ramp Soft Start circuitry allows the acous-  
tic stack to ramp up to operating amplitude smoothly,  
minimizing the start-up surges and abnormal stress to  
the stack and generator.

Section 2 – Health & Safety  
General Considerations  
IMPORTANT  
Please observe these health and safety recommendations for  
safe, efficient, and injury-free operation of your equipment.  
In this manual, the term system refers to a complete group  
of components associated with the welding of plastic or  
metal parts, also known as an ultrasonic assembly system.  
A typical system consists of a generator and/or ultrasonic  
process controller, start and stop switches, power controls,  
connecting cables, and the probe assembly which includes  
the transducer, booster, horn and replaceable horn tip.  
Never operate the gen-  
erator with the cover off.  
This is an unsafe prac-  
tice and may cause injury.  
CAUTION  
Proper Installation - Operate system components only  
after they are properly installed and checked.  
Parts being joined ultrasoni-  
cally sometimes vibrate at  
audible frequencies. Wear ear  
protection to reduce annoying  
or uncomfortable sounds. In  
addition, sound absorbing  
materials, enclosures or sound  
deflectors may be installed  
to reduce the noise level.  
No Unauthorized Modifications - Do not modify your  
system in any way unless authorized to do so by the man-  
ufacturer. Unauthorized modifications may cause injury  
to the operator and/or equipment damage. In addition,  
unauthorized modifications will void the equipment war-  
ranty.  
Keep the Cover On - Do not remove any equipment cov-  
er unless specifically directed to do so by the manufactur-  
er. The generator produces hazardous electrical voltages  
which could cause injury.  
Grounded Electrical Power - Operate this equipment  
only with a properly grounded electrical connection.  
(See Page 11 for grounding information.)  
Comply with Regulations - You may be required to add  
accessories to bring the system into compliance with ap-  
plicable OSHA regulations for noise exposure.  
Plastics Health Notice  
Before using any ultrasonic welding system, be sure you  
are familiar with OSHA regulations from the U.S. Depart-  
ment of Labor about the particular type of plastic(s) you  
are using.  
When plastic materials are being processed, they may emit  
fumes and/or gases that could be hazardous. Make sure  
you have adequate ventilation whenever these plastics are  
processed.

Ground  
Proper grounding for the generator chassis is essential  
for the effective suppression of electrical noise or  
RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). Every ultrasonic  
generator contains a RFI filter that blocks noise on the  
AC power line from entering the system control circuitry.  
This filter also prevents ultrasonic frequency noise from  
being fed back into the AC power line. For the RFI filter  
to operate effectively, it is necessary to correctly ground  
the system.  
NOTE  
Chassis Grounding Stud  
The chassis grounding stud is used to  
attach a protective earth ground to the  
generator. This will aid in the suppression  
of electrical interference or radio frequency  
interference (RFI) that is common in a  
industrial environment. Stud location  
is shown in Figure 3-1 on the following  
page.  
Connect a grounding wire from the grounding stud  
connection (see Figure 3-1) to the nearest grounded metal  
pipe or equivalent earth ground.  
See Connecting Cables on the next page.  
CAUTION  
If you have any questions  
about the grounding of your  
equipment and/or the electri-  
cal box, contact a qualified  
electrician.

HAND PROBE Connector  
Ultrasound Output  
The ultrasound output connector used with this generator  
is integrated into a D-Sub style connector. This connector  
provides superior shielding of electrical noise. The output  
connector mates with a fully shielded ultrasound cable  
that is secured to the generator with two simple, reliable  
thumbscrews.  
The ultrasonic output from this connector (that drives the  
attached ultrasonic load) is a very high AC voltage. At  
high power levels there is high current, and the cable must  
be securely attached to the hand probe for safe operation.  
Only use original equipment ultrasound cables for safe  
and reliable system operation.

NOTE  
All outupt signals are non-isolated and  
sink current to chassis ground when  
activated.  
The OUTPUTS connector is a four-position wire  
receptacle-type terminal block. If needed, it can provide  
the operator with basic system welding status. Everything  
connected to the OUTPUTS connector is customer-  
supplied. Typically indicator lights or sound modules are  
powered by these output signals. (The lights or sound  
modules can be mounted on widely available Stack Light  
assemblies.) Each output signal is rated to operate on a  
24VDC power source and can activate an attached load  
up to a maximum of 500 mA.  
Pin 0V (Output Common)  
Pin 0V is connected to chassis ground.  
Pin 1 (End of Weld Alarm)  
Non-isolated NPN output that sinks current at the End of  
Weld cycle. It activates when ultrasound switches off, or  
at the end of a preset Hold period. The signal lasts for one  
second, then deactivates.

Power Switch/Circuit Breaker  
The power switch/circuit breaker has a rocker-style actua-  
tor switch that will activate or deactivate the AC power  
to the system. The power ON position is marked with the  
internationally recognized I symbol, the power OFF posi-  
tion is marked with the 0 symbol. This power switch also  
integrates an appropriately sized over-current protection  
circuit breaker function in the generator.  
Control Keys  
The control keys shown in Figure 4-1 and described  
below, are used to display information, and to program  
the generator.  
INFO  
Press this key to get system information or to modify the  
hardware settings.  
If an over-current condition trips the circuit breaker, it will  
automatically switch to the OFF position. If the overload  
current that caused the circuit breaker to trip is due to a  
transient condition, the circuit breaker can be reset by  
switching the actuator back to the ON position.

System LCD Display  
Control Keys  
This high resolution, multi-line display provides a clear  
graphic interface to the operate and in-cycle screens  
needed to monitor and program the system.  
AMP  
Set the ultrasound amplitude output level in the range of  
20 to 100%.  
Power Bar Graph  
Typically amplitude is set to 100%.  
The Power Bar Graph appears at the bottom of the  
LCD display. It contains 20 segments that represent the  
generator’s range of power from 0% at the far left of  
the bar graph to 100% of power at the far right. Each  
segment equals 5% of the total.  
TIME  
Use this key to select time as the primary method of  
welding. Set the weld time (seconds).  
ENERGY  
In the example below, 40% of the available power is used  
during the weld cycle. The display shows an In Cycle  
screen (while U/S is active).  
Use this key to select energy as the primary method of  
welding. Set the weld energy (joules).

IN CYCLE  
Hold is a time period beginning after the weld portion  
of the cycle is complete. The operator holds the probe in  
place applying pressure to the weld, and an audible alarm  
indicates that the Hold time is finished. Hold can be set to  
a maximum of 5.0 seconds.

Section 5 - Process Control Settings  
Process Controller  
Settings  
This section of the manual helps the reader become  
familiar with the operating modes, and illustrates some  
typical programming steps.  
There are three welding modes available. These  
correspond to the three ways in which the welder can be  
used: Manual, Time, and Energy.  
Select the Welding Mode  
Manual - In MANUAL mode the operator controls  
the weld cycle. The cycle starts when the operator presses  
the hand probe’s trigger switch, and the ultrasonic signal  
(U/S) activates. When the trigger switch is released,  
the ultrasonic signal stops, and the cycle is complete.  
(Manual mode is the default selection.)  
NOTE  
With one exception, U/S is acti-  
vated anytime the probe’s trigger  
switch trigger is pressed regard-  
less of operating mode, or what is  
displayed on the LCD screen.  
The EXCEPTION - When a fault  
has occurred in Latching Fault  
Mode. In that case ENTER must  
be pressed to clear the fault be-  
fore U/S can be activated.  
Time - In TIME mode the operator sets a maximum  
time (seconds) the ultrasonic signal will be active for  
each weld cycle. The cycle starts when the hand probe’s  
trigger switch is activated, and the U/S activates. The  
U/S stops when the programmed time is reached. The  
trigger switch must be held activated for the entire  
welding cycle. Then it is released so that a new weld  
cycle can begin.  
Energy - In ENERGY mode the operator sets a  
maximum energy (Joules) the generator will reach  
during the weld cycle. [A maximum weld time must be  
set when welding by energy. If the energy level is not  
reached, the preset for time will determine when the U/S  
is deactivated.] When the preset energy level is reached,  
the U/S will be deactivated. The cycle starts when  
the hand probe’s trigger switch is pressed, and U/S is  
activated. When the programmed energy is reached, U/S  
stops. The trigger switch must be held activated for the  
entire welding cycle. Then it is released so that a new  
weld cycle can begin.

Hold  
NOTE  
HOLD is used more often with Time or Energy modes,  
but it can be used with the Manual mode. It is a period of  
time that can be set to follow release of the probe’s trigger  
switch.  
The generator’s end of HOLD signal  
will only be heard if the audible alarm  
is ON.  
The Audible Alarm can be set ON or  
OFF. See Hardware Settings on the  
next page.  
During HOLD the operator typically applies pressure to  
the part being welded. Next, the operator hears an audible  
alarm that serves as a reminder that HOLD has finished,  
and the probe can be lifted.  
HOLD does not allow the operator to begin a new cycle  
until HOLD is finished.  
To set a HOLD period:  
1. Select the weld mode (Manual, Time, Energy).

Amplitude Adjustment  
Amplitude refers to the movement of the horn at its  
workface. The higher the amplitude setting, the higher the  
power output level will be at a particular pressure level.  
Amplitude settings are given as a percent of the horn’s  
nominal amplitude in the range of 20% to 100%.  
It is typical to leave the amplitude setting at 100% for  
maximum power output.  
To adjust amplitude:

Theory of Operation  
Plastic welding is the most common application of  
ultrasonic assembly. To perform ultrasonic plastic  
welding, the vibrating tip is brought into contact with  
one of the work pieces. Pressure is applied and ultrasonic  
energy travels through the material generating frictional  
heat at the contact point of the two parts. The frictional  
heat melts a molded ridge of plastic on one of the pieces  
and the molten material flows between the two surfaces.  
When the vibration stops, the material solidifies forming a  
permanent bond.  
CAUTION  
Never use the hand probe if  
the cable insulating jacket is  
cut or damaged in any way.  
Probe Configuration  
A basic ultrasonic probe package consists of:  
1. Aprobe which houses the transducer to convert the elec-  
trical energy supplied by the generator into mechanical  
vibrations.  
2. A horn to transfer the mechanical vibrations from the  
probe to the parts to be welded.  
Optional components include special replaceable tips  
which can be threaded on to the tip of the horn, and a  
booster to amplify the mechanical vibrations of the horn.  
A basic hand–held probe system is shown in Figure 6-2.  
The hand probe is easily identified by its trigger actuator  
and permanently attached cable. Normally a booster is not  
used with a hand probe as this increases the length and  
weight and reduces its versatility. The optional threaded  
titanium tip can be used when the application calls for  
a staking profile or a pointed spot weld. Replaceable  
tips are not commonly used in high–volume production  
environments.

Section 6 – Probes and Probe Stacks  
Ultrasonic Horn  
The horn transfers the ultrasonic mechanical vibrations  
(originating at the transducer in the probe housing) to the  
plastic parts through direct physical contact. The horn  
is precision machined and designed to vibrate at either  
20kHz, 30kHz, 40kHz, 50kHz or 70kHz. The tuning is  
accomplished using electronic frequency measurement.  
Inherent variations in material composition prevent tuning  
by dimensional machining alone.  
There are many different horn profile styles depending  
upon the process requirements. Factors which affect  
the horn design are the materials to be welded and the  
method of assembly. Horns are usually constructed from  
aluminum, hardened steel or titanium. As the frequency  
increases, vibration amplitude typically decreases, but  
internal stress in the horn increases. Higher frequencies  
are used for delicate parts that cannot handle a lot of  
amplitude. Some factors to keep in mind for high–  
frequency (e.g. 40kHz) ultrasonic welding versus low–  
frequency (e.g. 20kHz) ultrasonic welding are listed here.  
1. Stress in the horn is higher at high frequencies.  
Probe  
Housing  
2. Wear on the horn is greater at high frequencies.  
3. Clean and flat mating surfaces between the horn, booster  
and transducer are more critical at high frequencies.  
Booster  
The function of a booster is to alter the gain (i.e. output  
amplitude) of the probe. A booster is amplifying if its gain  
is greater than one and reducing if its gain is less than one. A  
neutral or coupling booster is used to provide an additional  
clamping location for added probe stack stability. A probe  
designed to be mounted in a fixture along with a booster and  
horn is shown in Figure 6–3. This is commonly referred to  
as a stack. As indicated, the components are secured with  
threaded studs.

NOTE  
Stack Assembly  
Do not apply any grease to the threads  
of the replaceable tip. This may cause  
the tip to loosen from the horn resulting  
in inconsistent operation.  
Attaching a Replaceable  
Tip to a Horn  
1. Inspect all horn and tip surfaces for stress cracks,  
chips, or gouges.Any of these irregularities will affect  
operation and could lead to further equipment damage.  
Contact the Dukane Ultrasonics Tooling Department  
concerning damaged horn components.  
CAUTION  
NEVER clamp the horn  
in a vise. The resulting  
scratches or gouges in the  
surface are stress risers  
which may result in cracks.  
2. Apply an extremely thin layer of a high temperature,  
high pressure silicon grease to the back surface that  
mates with the horn. The grease will allow both  
surfaces to intimately mate and become acoustically  
transparent which improves the energy transfer. Do  
not apply any grease to the threads. We recommend  
Dow–Corning #4 (or #111 as an alternate). A small  
packet of Dow–Corning #4 is supplied with the system.  
If you cannot use a silicon–based grease in your facil-  
ity, a petroleum–based grease may be used. However, it  
is likely to leave carbonaceous deposits on the surface,  
and require more frequent joint maintenance. Failure  
to follow these instructions, may result in the mating  
surfaces bonding and difficulty removing the tip from  
the horn.  
3. Thread the tip into the horn and tighten to the torque  
specifications below using an open end wrench of the  
correct size to fit the wrench flats of the tip. This is  
illustrated in Figure 6-4. If necessary, use a spanner  
wrench (on horns with spanner wrench holes) or an  
open end wrench (on horns with wrench flats) to keep  
the horn from turning in your hand. A canvas strap  
wrench is permissible if it does not gouge or scratch  
the horn.

Attaching the Mounting  
Stud to a Horn or a

NOTE  
Do not apply any grease to the stud  
threads or the tapped hole. This may  
cause the stud to loosen. If the stud  
wanders within the joint, it can vibrate, re-  
sulting in excessive heat. In some cases,  
this can melt the tooling material.  
1. Inspect the stud for cracks or damaged threads.  
Replace the stud if it is cracked or otherwise dam-  
aged.  
2. Remove any foreign matter from the threaded stud  
and the mating hole.  
3. Thread the mounting stud into the input* end of the  
horn or the input* end of the booster and tighten to  
the following torque specifications using an Allen  
wrench in the socket head of the mounting stud.  
Table 6-II lists the torque specifications in units  
for both English and Metric systems of measure-  
ments.  
DO NOT hold the booster by the mounting rings  
when tightening stud. The mounting rings have a  
shear pin which could snap under excessive torque.  
Use a spanner wrench (on horns with spanner  
wrench holes) or an open end wrench (on horns  
with wrench flats) to keep the horn or booster from  
turning in your hand.

Attaching The Horn to  
a Booster, Booster to a  
Probe, or Horn to a Probe  
NOTE  
Always remove a probe stack from the  
machine in which it is mounted before  
attaching or removing a horn.  
1. Inspect all surfaces to be joined for stress cracks,  
chips, or gouges. Any of these irregularities will affect  
operation and could lead to further equipment damage.  
Contact the Dukane Ultrasonic Tooling Department  
concerning a damaged booster.  
CAUTION  
Never leave a horn or booster  
assembly hand tight. Torque  
it to the proper specifications  
2. Ensure that the mating surfaces of the two components  
are clean and smooth. These surfaces must make inti-  
mate contact for the mechanical energy to pass from  
one component to the next. Pitting or a buildup of old  
grease and dirt on a mating surface will interfere with  
the energy transfer and reduce the power delivered.  
before proceeding. If the as-  
sembly is installed without  
being properly torqued down,  
the assembly may vibrate  
severely, damaging the mat-  
ing surfaces and causing  
the generator to overload.  
3. Make sure that the stud in the horn or booster is tight.  
See the preceding mounting stud assembly instructions  
for torque specifications.  
4. Remove any foreign matter from the threaded stud and  
mating hole.  
5. Apply an extremely thin layer of a high temperature,  
high pressure silicon grease to the surface that mates  
with the horn. The grease will allow both surfaces to  
intimately mate and become acoustically transparent  
which improves the energy transfer. We recommend  
Dow–Corning #4 (or #111 as an alternate). A small  
packet of Dow–Corning #4 is supplied with the system.  
If you cannot use a silicon–based grease in your facility,  
a petroleum–based grease may be used. However, it is  
likely to leave carbonaceous deposits on the surface,  
and require more frequent joint maintenance. Grease  
may be omitted if mylar washers are preferred on sys-  
tems that require frequent changes. Mylar is plastic and  
will creep under compression, so mylar is not recom-  
mended for system that are not changed frequently.  
Failure to follow these instructions, may result in the  
mating surfaces bonding and difficulty removing the  
horn from the booster or the booster from the probe.

Stack Disassembly  
CAUTION  
Stackdisassemblyisrequiredwhenchangingtheboosteror  
horn, or for a thorough inspection of all stack components.  
In mounted systems, always remove the stack from its  
mounting to disassemble the stack components.  
Never hold a probe by the  
housing when tightening or  
loosening an adjoining com-  
ponent. The probe housing  
has anti–rotation devices  
to keep the transducer  
aligned. These could shear  
under excessive torque.  
To establish a maintenance schedule, inspect the mating  
surfaces after the first 200–400 hours of operation. If they  
require cleaning, halve the time between inspections. If  
the surfaces do not require reconditioning, then double the  
time between inspections. Each system is different due  
to the large number of operational parameters and stress  
factors.  
The assembly and disassembly procedures for a hand probe  
are shown in Figure 6–6. It makes no difference whether  
the horn is attached to the booster first, or the booster is  
attached to the probe first.

Booster Notes  
How to Tell the Booster  
Input End from the Output  
1. The depth of the threaded hole on the output end is  
always deeper than the threaded hole on the input  
end.  
2. On an amplifying booster (gain > 1.0), the larger  
diameter end is the input end. On a reducing booster  
(gain < 1.0) the larger diameter end is the output end.  
On a neutral acting booster the diameters are equal.  
CAUTION  
NEVER install a booster  
upside down to change  
an amplifying system to  
a reducing system. The  
boosters are dimensionally  
asymmetric. They are tuned  
from input to output to act  
like an acoustic lens. Re-  
versing them will not give the  
expected results and may  
causedamagetothesystem.  
3. The cap screws on the booster mounting rings are  
always inserted from the output end toward the input  
end.  
How to Tell if the Booster  
Is Amplifying or Reducing  
Boosters have a die-stamped number on their surface that  
indicates their gain or reduction. If the number is greater than  
1.0 (e.g. 1.5), it is an amplifying booster. If the number is  
less than 1.0 (e.g. 0.6), it is a reducing or reverse booster.  
A neutral booster has no gain and has 1.0 stamped on it. A  
neutral or coupling booster is used to provide another probe  
stack clamping location for added stability.

Welding Problems  
Weak Welds  
Weak welds, or underwelding, is caused by insufficient  
energy being transmitted to the part. You can increase  
the weld pressure, increase the weld duration (Time or  
Energy) or change to a higher gain booster to increase  
the amplitude to increase the energy delivered to the  
weld.  
NOTE  
Primary factors in achieving consis-  
tent, quality welds - especially when  
using hand held probes - are the skill  
and training of the operator.  
Inconsistent Welds  
Variations in plastic due to filler materials and moisture  
absorption may lead to inconsistent welds. Fillers can  
be especially troublesome if they are not uniformly  
distributed, the content is too high or it contains too  
much or poor quality regrind or degraded plastic.  
Try welding by energy. This eliminates many  
inconsistencies.There should be no unusual or loud  
noise from the acoustic stack. If there is, disassemble  
the stack and reassemble.  
Exchange the probe with another unit to see if the problem  
disappears. If not, exchange the generator with another  
unit to try and isolate the problem.  
The horn amplitude may not be uniform if it has been  
machined, altered or damaged. All of these will change  
the resonant frequency of the horn. You can have the  
horn analyzed.

iQ Hand Probe Options  
Buzzer Kit (Part No. 438-971)  
In some noisy environments the built-in buzzer can not  
easily be heard. This buzzer kit is designed for those  
conditions, and it suits the customer that prefers not to  
provide their own buzzer (using the status outputs of the  
generator).  
The kit adds a 100dB buzzer inside the generator.  
Foot Switch Kit (Part No. 438-976)  
This kit allows the customer to add their own external  
foot switch to replace the trigger on the hand probe.  
An external breakout box with cabling is supplied. The  
box connects to the generator and to the hand probe.

Dukane ISO  
ISO CERTIFICATION  
Dukane chose to become ISO 9001:2000 certi-  
fied in order to demonstrate to our customers  
our continuing commitment to being a quality  
vendor. By passing its audit, Dukane can assure  
you that we have in place a well–defined and  
systematic approach to quality design, manu-  
facturing, delivery and service. This certificate  
reinforces Dukane's status as a quality vendor  
of technology and products.  
The ISO 9001:2000 standard establishes a  
minimum requirement for these requirements  
and starts transitioning the company from a  
traditional inspection–oriented quality system  
to one based on partnership for continuous  
improvement. This concept is key in that Du-  
kane no longer focuses on inspection, but on  
individual processes.  
Dukane's quality management system is based  
on the following three objectives:  
1. Customer oriented quality. The aim is to  
improve customer satisfaction.  
2. Quality is determined by people. The aim  
is to improve the internal organization and  
cooperation between staff members.  
3. Quality is a continuous improvement.  
The aim is to continuously improve the  
internal organization and the competitive  
position.  
To achieve ISO 9001:2000 certification, you  
must prove to one of the quality system regis-  
trar groups that you meet three requirements:  
1. Leadership  
2. Involvement  
3. Quality in Line Organizations and Quality  
System Infrastructure.
