Ultra Sonic Horn "Stack"
The "Converter / Horn" assembly is called the " Stack ". The stack
generates the ultrasonic energy that cuts and fuses the ends of the
fabric.
The converter receives the electrical pulses from the power supply and
converts them to mechanical lineal motion. This motion is then amplified
as it goes through the “Horn”. This causes the horn to vibrate at 35 KHz
acting like a tiny impact hammer. This action causes friction heat that
cuts and fuses the label tape.
CAUTION: The horn can cause burns if touched during operation
The SS Finisher has been set-up at the factory to run a checkout stock
as the minimum checkout requirement. Depending on the shipping
destination and the information supplied to the factory, the actual
production job the customer has ordered will be tested.
At times the unit will require adjustment and maintenance. The top knife
will need to be replaced and squared, the stack will also need to be
adjusted to cut in a new location, and general tuning will need to be done
to keep the SS Finisher in top running condition. The following sections
are in order of procedure to set-up the knife and to keep the SS Finisher
cutting properly.
