2.3 Welding process
• Insert the paddle welding plate into the slot between the mandrels.
• Slightly press the mandrel ends against the paddle welding plate.
• Melt and weld the material for about 5-10 seconds, depending on the mandrel
thickness. The welding bead has to be bubble free and formed as a 3-4 mm
wide bulge along the mandrel ends. The whole mandrel end must show the
bulge.
• Slightly open the guiding clamp to remove the paddle welding plate.
• Press the mandrel ends against each other quickly and tighten the lock screw.
• Cool down the mandrel inside of the guide clamp for 5-10 minutes.
• Use the SE02 edge cutter to cut off or remove the bulge.
• After every welding process use a cotton cloth to remove adhering plastics
from the paddle welding plate. Never use peaked or sharp-edged objects for
cleaning as the Teflon coating might be damaged.
