That bonding can refrain from water seeps in under a certain pressure. A hot air machine, like AI-118, produces hot air with precisely controlled temperature to directly heat up the adhesive glue of seaming tape. Fabrics and the double faced adhesive tape will be sent into two corresponding positions between the slewing upper and lower rollers.
AI-118 operation manual Preparation for Installation Installation must be carried out by authorized personnel. Follow the steps below: Position the machine on a flat surface and allow at least 50cm clearance on both sides as well as the back side, this is essential for the hot air ventilation and also to allow enough room for maintenance personnel to carry out necessary service and maintenance Adjust the foot stand so that the machine is level and stable.

If the setting is enabled, the machine will immediately be prohibited from working in order to protect the components from damage when the pressure of the roller is less than a certain value.
AI-118 operation manual Tape start Press the #5 tape start icon on the “main function page” (figure14) to enter the “Tape start” page. Figure 19 Tape Start 1. Motor delay: Tape start motor starts delay time. The larger the value, the longer the nozzle blows at the same part in the tape start position, so it is likely to be overheated and discounted.

AI-118 operation manual 2. During sealing, hot air is blowing out from the nozzle. The hot air that actually reaches the surface of the tape is a mixture of hot air from the nozzle and the surrounding air from the proximity. Hence the actual temperature that reaches on the tape is lower than the original nozzle temperature.
