Pre-trigger Switch Adjustment - The pre-trigger switch
option starts the horn vibrating before contacting the part
to be welded. To ensure safe operation, adjust the pre-
trigger so the ultrasound signal will not activate if the
horn is more than ¼ in (7 mm) from the part to be welded.
System Electrical Cabling - Electrical power must be
off when connecting or disconnecting electrical cables.
Do Not Wear Loose Clothing or Jewelry - They can
become caught in moving parts.
Stay Alert - Watch what you are doing at all times. Use
common sense. Do not operate the press when you are
tired or distracted from the job at hand.
Do not Operate the Equipment - Your judgement or
reexes could be impaired while taking prescription medi-
cations. If so, do not operate the equipment. Be familiar
with warning labels and recommended activity restrictions
that accompany your prescription medications. If you have
any doubt, do not operate the equipment.
General Considerations
CAUTION
Parts being joined ultrasoni-
cally will at times vibrate at
audible frequencies. Wear ear
protectors to reduce annoying
or uncomfortable sounds. In
addition, ultrasound bafes, sound enclo-
sures, or materials that absorb sound may
be located to surround the system.
WARNING
Keep head, hands, limbs
and body at least six
inches (152 mm) away
from an operating press/
thruster. A vibrating, descending horn
can cause burns and/or crushing
injuries.
CAUTION
When making cable connec-
tions to system equipment
or disconnecting cables
from system equipment,
make sure electrical power to the system
is turned off, and AC power cords are
removed from their receptacles. After the
cables have been securely connected
and the connections and cable routing
checked a nal time, the power may be
restored.
Plastics Health Notice
Certain plastic materials, when being processed, may
emit fumes and/or gases that may be hazardous to the
operator’s health. Proper ventilation of the work station
should be provided where such materials are processed.
Inquiries should be made to the U.S. Department of Labor
concerning OSHA regulations for a particular plastic prior
to processing with Dukane ultrasonic equipment.
