HORN AND FIXTURE ALIGNMENT
For maximum productivity, the clearance between the horn and the part
should be at a minimum. However, adequate clearance should be provided to
enable easy loading and unloading of the part from the holding fixture. The
maximum stroke distance is 4" (101.6mm). Ensure that the horn does not
contact the part when the head is close to the limit of its down travel distance.
Otherwise, the horn may not have sufficient distance to travel downwards to
achieve a full depth of weld. Set welding height as follows:
First, position the holding fixture loosely on the base plate using 3/8-16
screws. Then, place the part to be welded in the fixture.
FOR THE 1099 PRESS, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS
BELOW:
1. Before loosening the column clamps, hold onto the head assembly firmly
as it can rise upwards rapidly once the clamps are released. While holding
the head assembly, loosen the two column clamps (counterclockwise) and
move the head up or down as required. Then tighten the column clamps.
2. Set the air pressure to zero by turning the PRESSURE regulator knob
(located at the top of air filter/regulator/gauge assembly) fully
counterclockwise.
3. Loosen the column clamps once again and manually lower the head until
Support the head before
releasing the column
clamps so that it cannot
crash down or fly up.
Ignoring this warning might
result in injury and/or
damage to the equipment
and part being welded.
