Ultra Sonic Horn "Stack"
Cutter Set-up
The "Converter / Horn" assembly is called the "Stack". The stack generates the
ultrasonic energy that cuts and fuses the fabric.
The converter receives the electrical pulses from the power supply and converts
them to mechanical lineal motion. This motion is then amplified as it goes
through the “Horn”. This causes the horn to vibrate at 35 KHz acting like a tiny
impact hammer. This action causes friction heat that cuts and fuses the label
tape.
CAUTION: The horn can cause burns if touched during operation
The SS Finisher has been set-up at the factory to run a checkout stock as the
minimum checkout requirement. Depending on the shipping destination and the
information supplied to the factory, the actual production job the customer has
ordered will be tested.
At times the unit will require adjustment and maintenance. The top knife will
need to be replaced and squared, the stack will also need to be adjusted to cut in
a new location, and general tuning will need to be done to keep the SS Finisher
in top running condition. The following sections are in order of procedure to
set-up the knife and to keep the SS Finisher cutting properly.
