Adjusting Heat Seal Quality
If a
Peel Force Test
determines the
Heat Sealer
is not generating a satisfactory seal, try one of
the adjustments below to improve seal strength.
Heat Seal Shoe Temperature
Open the HMI
Taper Tab
.
Press the right
Arrow
button twice to advance to the third
Taper
screen.
Increase or decrease the temperature of the sealer shoes. The inside and outside seals have
independent temperature controllers. Increase or decrease the
Set Point
for each sealer as
needed. Under normal conditions and materials, changing the temperatures should suffice.
Note:
Generally it is best practice to adjust the temperature to achieve the desired peel
force.
The TM-402 accommodates a wide range of carrier tapes and cover tapes. Settings may
vary from one tape product to another. The suggested starting point is
90 degrees Cel-
sius
. The maximum recommended operating temperature is 160° C
.
The temperature for
each seal shoe should be increased or decreased as needed after running a peel force
test.
