Leveling the Top Blade
CAUTION: Turn off the power to the power supply only.
Remove the material f
rom the horn and knife blade area. Use a 5/32”
“T”-handle or Allen wrench to loosen the two leveling screws located
each side of the pivot pin on the knife blade holder. Jog the machine with
the START/TEST buttons to bring the blade to the horn surface under full
pressure. Evenly tighten the two leveling screws located each side of the
pivot pin on the knife blade holder.
Turn the sonic power supply back on. Cut some fabric to determine if the
blade is level. If not level
– repeat the above procedure.
Adjusting Knife Spring Pressure:
The .750 gap setting shown below
– under “Knife Pressure” - is the initial
starting point for a new knife blade. As the knife begins to show
intermittent labels not being cut clean then an adjustment is needed to
the spring pressure.
If the knife is not cutting the label clean and delivering a cut single label to
the stacker then the knife should be checked for level (see leveling
procedure).
NOTE: Never pull the labels apart to use them as they can
fray when washed. I
f no improvement is seen, make sure the “Lock
Knob” is tight, then increase the pressure one flat on the adjusting nut. If
no improvement is seen then increase one more flat of the adjusting nut.
This procedure can be repeated several times during the life of the upper
blade until the pressure will no longer cut. At this point the pressure is
greater than the power of the Sonics and will stall the horn, replace the
blade.
Note: Bring the Adjusting Nut back to the .750” gap setting
whenever a new blade is installed.
