10. Operating Temperature (Figure 15)
The 60HA has a factory setting of 650
o
F, but is adjustable from 200 – 750
o
F.
There is no ideal or correct operating temperature for all applications. Tape composition
(wood, PVC, Melamine), width, thickness and manufacturer are all factors that affect how the
tape will apply. One tape manufacturer may apply glue to their tape, which will have a
different activation (melting) temperature than another, thicker tape will absorb more heat than
a thin one, and composition will also have an effect.
The 60HA utilizes a Variable Speed Power Feeder to reduce set up time. Feed speed and
temperature operate in unison to achieve an optimum application. A commonly used method
of set up is to choose a base temperature setting of 600 - 750
o
F. Once the temperature has
stabilized, run a scrap piece of panel at full speed. Check the adhesion. If it is not adequate,
reduce the feed speed slightly and try again on another edge. Repeat this procedure 2 or 3
times until satisfactory adhesion is achieved. If you have had to slow the feed too much then
the temperature should be raised. If at full speed, the glue is too hot or the tape is telegraphing
badly, the temperature should be lowered. If you commonly use several different tapes, keep a
log of the settings for each tape to simplify the process.
11. Adjusting Temperature (Figure 16)
A. To change temperature setting, press the “FUNCTION” button once. “SP” will be
displayed. This is the set point. Use the up or down arrow to attain the desired setting
then press “FUNCTION” again. The new setting will be accepted after five (5) seconds
and the temperature will begin to change.
