Claim 9:
10. An assembly line system for assembling ultrasonic dental scaling units, comprising:
an inventory of ultrasonic devices comprising piezoelectric power scalers operable by capacitance and magnetostrictive power scalers operable by induction;
an inventory of piezoelectric and magnetostrictive device cables adapted to connect the piezoelectric and magnetostrictive ultrasonic devices to a respective universal ultrasonic generator unit;
an inventory of the universal ultrasonic generator units, wherein each ultrasonic generator unit comprises a signal conditioner comprising a piezoelectric mode circuit to drive one of the piezoelectric ultrasonic devices and further comprising a magnetostrictive mode circuit to drive one of the magnetostrictive ultrasonic devices;
wherein the piezoelectric device cables comprise piezoelectric device passive activation plugs to selectively activate the piezoelectric mode circuit when one of the piezoelectric ultrasonic devices is connected, and wherein the magnetostrictive device cables comprise magnetostrictive device passive activation plugs to selectively activate the magnetostrictive mode circuit when one of the magnetostrictive ultrasonic devices is connected; and
an assembly line workstation to assemble together a respective one or more of the device cables from the device cable inventory, a respective one or more of the power scalers from the ultrasonic device inventory, and a respective one of the universal ultrasonic generator units from the universal ultrasonic generator inventory to form assembled ultrasonic dental scaling units.
