Series Ultrasonic Press System LE User's Manual

Stack Disassembly

To separate the stack component carefully follow the
instructions below:
1. Use the two spanner wrenches (wrench A and B)
provided with the press. Place wrench A on the
component to be removed (Refer to Figure 7-3) and
wrench B on the one next to it. Turn wrench A in the
direction indicated.
Once the component is loose, it can be removed by
hand.
2. To maintain structural integrity, NEVER hold a
transducer by the housing or the booster by the
mounting rings while separating components. Doing
so will result in damage to the unit.
3. Use only the tools recommended by Dukane.
NEVER clamp a horn, booster, or transducer in a
vise or use tools such as pliers, visegrips, etc. Doing
so will result in scratches and/or gouges, resulting
in stress areas on the surface. This condition will
affect the stack operation and could lead to failure
of each stack component.

Removing a Detachable Tip

If the horn has a detachable tip, do the following:
1. Use a spanner wrench to hold the horn, as shown in
Figure 7-4.
2. Turn a properly sized open end wrench to loosen the
tip.
NEVER clamp the horn or use a vise to hold it.
