• If the drive is switched off, the hot wedge temperature and drive speed welding parameters in the
display
fields (42)
are set as follows:
• Using the
Confirm (40)
key, you can set the cursor to the desired parameter.
• Use the
Plus (41)
and
Minus (39)
keys to set the values of the selected parameter.
The
joining force module (6)
on the COMET 500 prevents the setting of excessive joining force when welding
material thicknesses of up to 3 mm. A smaller joining force is applied for thinner materials and a greater joining
force for thicker materials. The welding force can be increased or decreased slightly by rotating the
adjustment
ring (35)
. The setting range is approx. 360°. Proceed as follows to adjust the joining force:
• Unlock the
clamping lever lock (5)
and open the
clamping lever (4).
• Unlock the adjustment ring
lock (34)
on the
joining force module (6).
• Rotate
the adjustment ring (35)
on the
joining force module (6).
Rotating it in the "+" direction increases
the joining force and rotating it in the "–" direction decreases it. The
adjustment ring (35)
can be rotated by
approx. 360° from the minimum to maximum position.
• Once the desired joining force has been set, lock the
adjustment ring lock (34)
again.
• If you do not know the best joining force, set the
adjustment ring (35)
to the middle position. After a test
weld, you can increase or decrease the joining force, if necessary.
