This wasted energy shows up as excessive heating,
usually in the magnetic drive coils. Overheated coils will
fail prematurely resulting in unnecessary downtime and
expense.
Use all the bolts, torqued to the specified value, to attach
the upper tooling, unless some part of the tooling obstructs
a hole. Failure to install all the mounting bolts may result
in the upper tooling becoming acoustically decoupled from
the springs, possibly resulting in damage to the tooling or
machine.
Acoustic coupling is the tendency for a multipart mass
to vibrate as if it were one piece. Insufficient or loose
bolts can cause acoustic decoupling where part of a piece
vibrates at a different frequency or out of phase relative to
the other pieces. A loose lower tool assembly will result in
poor welding and can also cause damage to the tooling or
the welder.
