Linear Vibration Welder 4000 Series, Model VWA User's Manual
Floor Area
The floor area required for the vibration welder depends
on the model and capacity of the machine. Detailed di-
mensions are given in Section 13 – Specifications. The
left side of the welder does not require access and can be
placed close to a wall if desired. The front of the welder
should have a minimum clear space of at least 36 inches
for the operator work area. The total minimum recom-
mended floor area is listed in Table 3-I.

Forklift Channels
The vibration welder has built–in forklift channels. Cover
plates for the front and rear channels are supplied. The
front channels are shown in Figure 3-3. Directly above
the channels the stenciling reads LIFT HERE . The rear
forklift channels are shown in Figure 3-4 without the
cover plates installed. During shipping, tie–down boards
are inserted through these channels to secure the welder
to the skid as shown in Figure 3-1.
Determine your forklift requirements by referring to
Section 13 – Specifications, for approximate machine
weight.
Once the welder is positioned in its final location, se-
cure the four cover plates over the front and rear forklift
channels. The cover plates have 1.5 inches of sound–ab-
sorbing foam on their back to act as acoustic dampers
to reduce the reverberations emitted from the forklift
channels. The covers are shown in Figure 3-5. The cov-
ers must be installed so the vibration welder will meet
the specified sound emission requirements of 80 dBA
during operation.
