- Page 16 As a result, a water proof seam is produced. A hot air machine, like AI-006, produces hot air with precisely controlled temperature to directly heat up the adhesive of seam tape. The heated tape and the fabric are feeding into two oppositely rotating rollers under pressure called nip rollers.
- Page 17 AI-006 operation manual > Preparation for Installation Installation must be carried out by authorized personnel. Follow the steps below: 1. 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 deflector to work properly and also to allow enough room for carrying out necessary service and maintenance 2.
- Page 18 AI-006 operation manual > Control Method >> Touch Screen Control Panel Almost all settings and timing control of the machines can be input from the touch screen control panel. Use you finger tip to touch the parameter to be modified. Switch to different pages to modify other parameters (refer to section on control menu navigation).
- Page 19 > Control Method (cont.) >> Control Menu Navigation The AI-006 has many parameters that can be adjusted according to the operational situations. These parameters are arranged in different menu pages on the touch screen control panel according to their functionality. The structure of the menu page arrangement is represented in the following diagram.
- Page 20 AI-006 operation manual > Control Method (cont.) >> Control Menu Navigation (cont.) The followings are typical menu pages, all of them have names at the top left corner for easy identification. Right arrow buttons are for navigating in the operation menu group. Down arrow buttons are for navigating in the support menu group.
- Page 21 AI-006 operation manual > Control Method (cont.) >> Pressure Adjustment To adjust corresponding pressure, pull out the adjusting knob by one notch, turn the knob clockwise or anti-clockwise to increase or decrease the needed pressure accordingly. When finished, lock the air regulator pressure by pushing the adjusting knob toward the regulator.
- Page 22 AI-006 operation manual > Start Up and Shut Down Procedures Both start up and shut down procedures are extremely important to the well being of AI-006, please take steps to follow the procedures described. Location of power ON/OFF switch Location of main air supply ON/OFF switch...
- Page 23 AI-006 operation manual > Start Up and Shut Down Procedures (cont.) >> Start up Procedures Switch on the compressed air by turning the main air ON/OFF switch knob Turn on the machine by pressing the green power ON button Enable the heating by pressing the HEAT button.
- Page 24 AI-006 operation manual > Basic Operation Please note the locations of basic parameters that you need to set before operating the machine. Refer to the corresponding sections for detail explanation. temperature sealing speed nip roller pressure nozzle air pressure nozzle position (up-down adjustment)
- Page 25 AI-006 operation manual > Basic Operation (cont.) >> Procedures of Seam Sealing Set the heater temperature, nozzle air pressure and fabric speed to the desired values. To begin with, set to 400°C, 0.1Mpa and 12ft/min accordingly. This should be a fair setting to start with.
- Page 26 AI-006 operation manual > Basic Operation >> Tape Loading Load the tape on the spool and route the tape thru the tape dispenser as shown below. Make sure the adhesive side of the tape is facing the operator when installing the tape.
- Page 27 AI-006 operation manual > Basic Operation (cont.) >> Tape Loading When inserting the tape thru the cutter area, it is best to place the nozzle in the park position. At this time, the tape clamp will be released to facilitate the tape insertion.
- Page 28 The AI-006 hot air sealing machine is engineered to make seam sealing much easier than before. Unique features allow you to fine tune sealing conditions in the time domain level, eliminating traditional problems.
- Page 29 > Advance operation (cont.) >> Advance Mode Traditional hot air machine has only two nozzle positions, swing in and swing out. AI-006 has an additional position called ‘hovering’ position in between. The new feature ‘advance mode’ keeps the nozzle in the ‘hovering’ position during temporary stop.
- Page 30 AI-006 operation manual > Advance Operation (cont.) >> Variable Speed Sealing This feature allows sealing speed to be changed in real time to increase flexibility of sealing. In order to use this feature, nozzle position is needed to be adjusted, according to the section electronic nozzle position adjustment.
- Page 31 AI-006 operation manual > Advance Operation (cont.) >> Quill Latch This feature allows the upper roller to latch in the up position after tape is cut. To enable this function, press the corresponding button until off becomes on.. Press to ON to enable quill latch If this function is not enabled, the upper roller will come down after the tape is fed.
- Page 32 AI-006 operation manual > Advance Operation (cont.) >> Differential Speed This feature allows the operator to set the upper and lower rollers to run at a slightly different speed. Preset sealing speed Press to change the differential speed in % While the upper roller is running at the preset sealing speed, the lower roller is running at a speed according to the % (percentage) setting.
- Page 33 AI-006 operation manual > Advance Operation (cont.) >> Electronic Nozzle Position Adjustment This feature allows the operator to adjust nozzle position electronically by input on the touch screen display panel. x direction adjustment buttons (left + right) x direction nozzle position setting...
- Page 34 (like hydrostatic test, wash test, etc.) before confirming the correct settings. For AI-006 to work properly in the variable speed sealing mode, the nozzle position setting at the half speed mode is required. Once this procedure is finished, the nozzle will be repositioned automatically according to the sealing speed in the variable speed sealing mode.
- Page 35 AI-006 operation manual > Advance Operation (cont.) >> Memory All operating parameters of the machine including operation data, nozzle position and personality can be stored into one of the 20 memory locations. The data from these locations can be recalled as the current machine setting at any time.
- Page 36 >> Individual Program for Start/ Middle/ end of Tape AI-006 can recognize the stage of sealing the machine is in, individual programs can be used to change the behavior of the machines according to whether the stage is in the start, middle or end of sealing.
- Page 37 During seam sealing, the consistent supply of seam tape to the sealing area is important . Your AI-006 is equipped with a built in digital tensioner to release the seam tape from the tape spool. Route the tape exactly as shown in the below diagram.
- Page 38 AI-006 operation manual > Maintenance >> Preventative In order to keep the machine in top running condition, regular maintenance is important for trouble free operation. This will minimize possible down time and to prolong machine life. Daily Check the motion of the machine for smoothness and strange noise.
- Page 39 AI-006 operation manual > Maintenance (cont.) >> Procedures for Replacing Parts Temperature sensor The tip of the replaced thermocouple is very important, the location must be the same as shown in the below diagram. Also inspect and make sure that the tip is in the center of the pipe and not touching the metal part.
