Chapter 7: Troubleshooting
Adjusting Heat Seal Quality
If a Peel Force Test determines the Heat Sealer is not generating a satisfactory seal, try one of
the adjustments below to improve seal strength.
Heat Seal Shoe Temperature
Open the HMI Taper Tab. Press the right Arrow button twice to advance to the third Taper
screen.
Increase or decrease the temperature of the sealer shoes. The inside and outside seals have
independent temperature controllers. Increase or decrease the Set Point for each sealer as
needed. Under normal conditions and materials, changing the temperatures should suffice.
Note: Generally it is best practice to adjust the temperature to achieve the desired peel
force.
The TM-401 accommodates a wide range of carrier tapes and cover tapes. Settings may
vary from one tape product to another. The suggested starting point is 90 degrees Cel-
sius. The maximum recommended operating temperature is 160°
each seal shoe should be increased or decreased as needed after running a peel force
test.
