Health and Safety
General Considerations
Safe Operation
Please observe these
health and safety recommendations
for safe, efficient,
and injury-free operation of your equipment.
Proper Installation
- Operate system components only after they are properly
installed.
No Unauthorized Modifications
- Do not modify your system in any
way unless authorized to do so by Dukane. Unauthorized modifications
could cause equipment damage and/or injury to the operator. In addition,
unauthorized modifications will void equipment warranty.
Keep the Cover On
- Do not remove any equipment covers unless directed
to do so by Dukane. Hazardous electrical voltages are present which could
cause injury.
Grounded Electrical Power
- Operate this equipment only with a grounded
electrical connection.
See Electrical Safety
for grounding instructions, Page 7.
Comply with Regulations
- you may be required to add accessories to bring
the system into compliance with applicable regulations (OSHA in the USA)
for machine guarding and noise exposure.
Use Eye Protection
- Wear ANSI approved safety impact goggles.
Acoustic Stack Hazard
- When an acoustic stack (transducer, booster, horn
and tip) is energized by the ultrasound signal, it presents a potential hazard.
Stay clear of an energized stack.
System Abort Switch
- Install a system abort switch at each operator station
when ultrasonic plastic assembly equipment is used with automatic material
handling equipment in an automated system.
Foot Switch
- Using a foot switch in place of the optical touch finger switches
(operate switches) violates OSHA regulations.
System Electrical Cabling
- Electrical power must be off when connecting or
disconnecting electrical cables.
NOTE
These recommendations apply to
the welding system. System in this
guide refers to a complete group
of components associated with the
welding of parts, also known as an
ultrasonic assembly system.
WARNING
Any fixture manufactured by a third
party must comply with all OSHA and
ANSI requirements. All fixtures must
be guarded as necessary. Dukane
does not assume any responsibility
or liability for fixtures manufactured
by the customer or any third party
manufacturer.
CAUTION
At some time you may be asked
to remove equipment covers by
the Dukane Aftermarket Service
Group personnel. Before doing so,
disconnect the system electrically
from the incoming line AC power,
including the generator and press.
WARNING
Never operate the generator with the
cover off. This is an unsafe practice
and may cause injury.
