AUTOMATIC OPERATION
WARNING:
Your supplier has no liability for injuries, damage and/or excessive
wear, due to incorrect maintenance, unintended use, modifications
and deactivation of safety devices.
2.3
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The system is a Desk-top system and is built on a chassis with integrated controls.
The machine operator is responsible for the manual positioning of the product components.
The alignment of the product components is done in a fixture, using a micrometer screw, one
or more dowel pins and/or an optional camera-monitor system.
After the product components are positioned, the system is operated by the start button or
buttons. The joining cycle will then be carried out. When the joining cycle is completed, the
product must be removed from the system by an operator.
The principle of the bonding system is the bonding of products by controlled movements of a
thermode, thus creating a known force, at a preset temperature and time.
The joining cycle is as follows:
The thermode moves down in the Z-axis under pneumatic or motorised control. It is then
heated until the preset temperature has been reached. The joining operation is carried out at a
constant thermode temperature. The thermode will then move up and the system is ready for
the next joining cycle.
2.4
SOUND LEVEL
The sound level has been measured in accordance with the Machine Directive requirements.
The A-weighted equivalent continuous sound pressure has been measured at the working
place during normal operating conditions. The sound level has been measured at a distance of
one metre from the machine and at a height of 1.60 m above the reference plane. The
measured A-weighted equivalent continuous sound pressure level (L
Aeq
) does not exceed 70
dB(A).
2.5
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The equipment requires no special foundation. A level table or bench strong enough to
support the system is sufficient. When used in production, the machine and the adjacent area
must be well illuminated.
