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" (101.6 mm). 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.

1. Insert key and turn the HEAD DOWN key switch clockwise to allow head

movement. Then, before loosening the column clamps, hold onto the head

assembly firmly as it can move rapidly up or down with heavy tooling 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. Using the PRESSURE REGULATOR (turn counterclockwise) and

corresponding gauge, set the air pressure to zero.

3. Loosen the column clamps once again and manually lower the head until

the horn contacts the part. Tighten the clamps.

4. Loosen the cap screws on the converter housing door and gently rotate the

head and horn as required to ensure proper horn-to-part alignment.

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.
