The Miller Weldmaster T-500 and T-100 require the following shop
air requirements:
•
Minimum of 65 psi at 3 cubic feet per minute.
•
Not to exceed 125 psi.
•
An in line water and dirt separator.
•
It is not recommended to use an oiler for the air supply.
Section 1.3: Principles of Heat Sealing
Module 1.3.1: Heat
Hot Air
The heat required for the welding operation is created
electrically by two heating elements located inside the heat element
housing. The internal air compressor pumps air over the heat
elements and carries the heat through the hot air nozzle, applying
the heat to the material to be welded. The hot air temperature
ranges from 100 to 1350 Degrees Fahrenheit or 25 to 730 Degrees
Celsius.
Hot Wedge
The heat required for the welding operation is created
electrically by heating elements located inside the wedge. Heat
dissipates through the aluminum core of the wedge, to the contact
area, applying heat to the material to be welded. The temperature
ranges from 100 to 900 Degrees Fahrenheit or 25 to 490 Degrees
Celsius.
Module 1.3.2: Speed
The speed of the weld rollers determines the amount of time the
heat is applied to the material being welded. The slower the speed
setting, the less heat needed to be applied to the material. The
faster the speed setting, the more heat will have to be applied to the
material. To achieve the best weld, a minimal amount of heat should
be applied to the material while still achieving a full weld. Too much
heat will cause distortion of the material while not enough heat will
prevent the material from welding.
Module 1.3.3: Pressure
The pressure of the weld rollers is the final step when creating a
weld. The pressure of the weld rollers compresses the heated
