Work Area
Allow sufficient area on either side of the Spin
Welder for handling material, work pieces and fix-
tures. Provide ample room so that the movement
of an operator or helper does not interfere with the
work of another. Also be aware that under extreme
conditions, small droplets of molten plastic may be
spun off from the upper part.
Securing to Work Table
Bench Capacity
The Spin Welder weighs approximately 500 lbs.
(225 kg). It should be mounted on a table or bench
capable of supporting 750 lbs. (340 kg) to accom-
modate the additional force imposed by the vertical
movement of the motor and slide during spin weld-
ing operation.
Leveling
We recommend that the Spin Welder be leveled to
within one degree. This can be accomplished using
a carpenter’s level. One degree corresponds to ap-
proximately one–quarter of an inch (6 mm) deviation
across the 16 inch (406 mm) width of the platen.
Mounting Holes
The base of the Spin Welder has two mounting holes
in the front as shown in Figure 4–1. The two holes
will accept either 12mm or 7/16” diameter bolts. We
recommend that you securely attach the Spin Welder
base to the work table using these mounting holes.
Tooling Attachment
The upper tooling attaches to a 3.5–inch diameter
hub using 5/16” cap screws. Figure 4–2 gives the
measurements of the tooling hub. The base fixture
attaches to the platen using M10–1.5 cap screws.
