Operating the Actuator

For detailed information about Ultraseal 20 Actuator controls, refer to
6.3.1 Check Sealer Performance
Ensure that nothing is touching the tip on all four sides. With the tooling disengaged and
unloaded, test the sonics no longer than one second (step reference- Menu> Maintain>
Sonic> 100% Test). If there is a loud squealing noise, the problem may be in the following
areas:
• The Tip may not be secured properly
• The Horn may not be secured properly
• Tooling may be in contact with each other
NOTICE
6.3.2 Establishing Seal Parameters
To obtain quality seals each and every time, the correct combination of weld parameter
settings must be developed. These parameters include:
• Height (mm)
• Trigger Pressure ("Force", psi/bar)
• Weld Pressure, Pressure During Sonics (psi/bar)
• Amplitude (Microns)
• Energy (Joules)
• Time (Seconds)
• Power (Watts)
• Seal Height (mm)
