Connection
Verify that the air supply line has an inner diameter of at least 13 mm (1/2”) for booster
S16-20-40/60 and 19mm (3/4") for booster S80-120/60, (standard coupling threads 1/2"
and 3/4" gas) and that the flow rate is sufficient. A weak flow rate will prolong the cycle time.
Under normal operating condition with about 20 clinches per minute, a compressed air line
and a compressor capable of supplying at least 120 l/min. at atmospheric pressure, is
necessary.
Connect to an air preparation unit (E2), including filter, pressure regulator and manometer.
Such units are available as options
N.B. The air preparation unit is mandatory, and must be installed prior to connect the
machine.
Check that all connectors and air tubes upstream of the filter are clean and free from dust,
water, rust and other alien particles.
Oiling the compressed air is not mandatory, but can be used for increased life of the work
head / booster air seals and air cylinder. When a lubricator is installed, it is vitally important
to avoid any excess of oil. Too much oil may cause malfunctioning in the valves and the
pneumatic control units, and may be risk for the health in case of inappropriate ventilation.
Close the oil adjustment. After starting the machine, set progressively the oil flow to a
maximum of 1.5 drops per 100 joints, equivalent to 2-3 drops per m³ of air. It is necessary
to comply with the existing regulations related the risk of oil pollution, which prevail to the
any of the above non indications
The flexible hose (E4) of the machine should be fitted with a rapid coupling (E5) without
check valve in the coupling (E5), so that the disconnection of the coupling assures a
complete and immediate bleeding of any air pressure in the booster flexible hose. As an
alternative the valve (E1) must be fitted with a bleeding valve, allowing the booster to be
fully depressurized. This is indispensable for maintenance or disassembly operation, which
must be made exclusively once the booster is full depressurized. In addition, the quick
coupling serves as a swivel allowing the machine to be rotated without limitation.
Never use an air pressure above 6.0 bar.
Verify that the clinching head is free to move and fully unobstructed. Make sure that nobody
comes close with their hands before connecting the air supply hose (E1).
Set the pressure to between 5 and 6 bar at the exit of the air preparation unit (E2). This
value should be at least equal to the clinching pressure, see below, and under no
circumstances above 6 bar (87 psi).
As a rule, the working pressure should be adjusted 0.5 bar above the minimum required
pressure for obtaining the correct joint, to be determined by testing.
