  • Page 17: Special Notes On Using The Plasma Process

    Special notes on using the plasma process General description Treating surfaces with atmospheric plasma has several advantages, such as increasing the surface energy to produce better surface wetting. Optimum surface wetting is the first and often most decisive step to achieving a good imprint, a uniform coating, a consistent coat of lacquer or an integrally bonded adhesive application.
  • Page 18: Notes On The Correct Handling Of The Substrates To Be Treated

    Notes on the correct handling of the substrates to be treated Caution – Electrical voltage! • Danger from high voltage Never direct the plasma beam at people or animals. Never touch the plasma nozzle or the plasma jet when the machine is in operation. Never touch the workpiece to be treated or its holder during plasma generation.
  • Page 19: Operation

    Operation Controls/Displays Caution – Electrical voltage! Danger of electric shock. Never reach into the area around the connected plasma generator while it is running or if it has shut down (e.g. to check why the plasma generator has shut down). Fig.: Schematic diagram of the controls No.
  • Page 20: Switching On And Operating The Machine

    Switching on and operating the machine Attention – Damage to machine! The machine can become damaged if you attempt to move the stand-alone unit by pulling on one of the cables. Always ensure that there is no nominal tensile stress on the cables.
  • Page 21 5. Operation with a higher-level system control: PIN G and PIN H must be disconnected for the emergency stop functionality (see 2.2.5). This stops the plasma process. After making sure that safe operation is possible, unlock the machine by connecting PIN G and PIN H.
  • Page 22: Switching Off The Machine

    Switching off the machine Caution – Hot surface! The area around the plasma generator nozzle may reach temperatures of up to 200 °C. Wait until the machine has cooled down if you need to touch this area. After use, store the machine only in places that are not temperature-sensitive or are not combustible.
