Linear Vibration Welder 5000 Series
Never operate the vibration
welder with the electrical
service door open. This is
an unsafe practice and can
result in injury or death.
Pneumatic Safety
Always isolate and lock out the compressed air before
performing any maintenance on the vibration welder. The
isolation and lockout device is shown in Figure 2-5. The
safety isolation device is installed externally, and is in series
with the internal compressed air filter. When activated, this
device will isolate the compressed air supply from the air
filter and pneumatic actuators in the welder. This device
complies with OSHA regulations.
Compressed air can develop a considerable amount of
force. The force is large enough to inflict serious injury.
The vibration welder uses two air cylinders which convert
the air pressure to mechanical movement for opening and
closing the front access door.
With the rear service doors open, you can see the
compressed air filter and pressure regulator on the left
side. This is shown in Figure 2-6. The filtered air is fed to
the air distribution manifold and pneumatic valves. Refer
to Section 11 - Maintenance for information on the filter
element and how to replace it.
