6.6 Tool positioning
6.7 Welding procedure
• Use the
positioning lever (6)
to turn the
hot-air blower (4)
up as far as the stop.
• Position the automatic welding machine on the overlap of the material to be welded. The outside edge of the
drive/pressure roller (2)
must line up with the overlap edge of the material to be welded.
• Use the
positioning lever (6)
to turn the
hot-air blower (4)
down as far as the stop and at the same time turn
on the
drive switch (16)
(the welding process starts).
• Supervise the welding process. Correct the welding speed with the
potentiometer (17)
as necessary. Guide the
automatic welding machine by its chassis along the length of the overlap.
• When welding has finished, use the
positioning lever (6)
to swing up the
hot-air blower (4)
as far as the stop.
• Switch off the
drive switch (16).
6.5 Welding parameters
• Set the
potentiometer for the welding speed (17)
to the required value.
• Set the
air-blower switch (9)
to position I. Set the temperature and the air flow to the required values and heat
up for approx. 5 minutes.
• The contact pressure is affected by the weight of the automatic hot-air welding machine itself.
• Use the additional weight accessory as required (optional).
Perform a test weld according to the welding instructions supplied by the material manufacturer and
conforming to national standards or guidelines. Check the test weld. Adapt the welding temperature
(welding parameters) as necessary.
