Unpacking

The vibration welder is normally shipped on a skid with
tie-down boards inserted through the forklift channels
and bolted to the skid (see Figure 3-1). If tooling was or-
dered, it may be left installed if the alignment is complex.
If the tooling is heavy, it may be removed from the welder
and packaged separately. The welder may be shipped with
the hydraulic fluid reservoir full or drained, depending on
whether the destination is local or international. System
documentation was placed in a pocket at the inside bot-
tom of the electrical service cabinet door (see Figure
3-2). This material includes: the user's manual, electrical,
pneumatic, and hydraulic diagrams, and bills of material.
Store the documents there for safekeeping and future
reference. The forklift channel cover plates are also in
a box in the electrical cabinet.

Welder Placement

Ventilation
When plastic materials are being processed, they may
emit fumes and/or gases that could be hazardous. Make
sure you have adequate ventilation whenever these plas-
tics are processed.

Part Handling Considerations

Allow space on either side of the vibration welder for
material handling, work pieces and fixtures. Consider
whether the operator is sitting or standing. The operator
should be at a comfortable height relative to the activa-
tion switches to prevent operator fatigue. Provide ample
room so the movement of the operator does not interfere
with part handling. Also allow room for future expan-
sion of automation equipment or pass–through conveyor
systems. See the space requirements drawings in Section
13 - Specifications.

Energy Sources

Refer to Section 13 - Specifications for the AC power
requirements and for the compressed air requirements
of your model.
