Operation
Theory of Operation
The SS Finisher was designed to cut and stack pre-printed stock using ultrasonic
vibrations to cut and seal the label. This provides the label with a cut edge that
is soft and smooth as the original label tape. It was also designed to accept label
tapes that were printed on a variety of different machines.
Safety Issues / Warnings
This machine has some pinch points and hot surfaces. All of these areas have
been well guarded and it is recommended that the safety features of this machine
are never altered or defeated.
Since ultrasonics is high frequency sound, some noise will be produced as it
makes its cut. It is recommended that people in the immediate area wear ear
protection. (See appendix “A” for a list of manufacturers of hearing protection.)
Warning:
High voltage is present in the power supply. Never attempt to operate the unit
with the cover off.
To prevent the possibility of electrical shock, make sure the power supply is
properly grounded.
Keep hands from under horn. High pressure and vibrations can cause injury to
hands and fingers.
Large plastic parts may vibrate within the audible frequency range when cutting.
If this occurs, use ear protection to prevent possible injury.
Do not allow the ultrasonically activated horn to touch a metal base or metal
fixture.
Do not press the “TEST” switch when the converter is removed from the
equipment.
Customer Responsibility
Location of SS Finisher
The SS Finisher weighs approximately 114 Lbs. (52Kg). A table of sufficient
quality and strength to handle the load of the SS Finisher and supplies must be
supplied. The work surface recommended is 96” wide x 30” deep x 32” high.
The SS Finisher should be located in an area that the ultrasonic noise emitted
from the cutting operation will not affect others. AVERY DENNISON has
taken many steps to keep the SS Finisher noise to the lowest level. The SS
Finisher is not recommended for an office environment.
The power source of the SS Finisher should be a dedicated line. The first sign
that the SS Finisher is not being supplied with sufficient power is the ultrasonics
will stop cutting, but the rest of the SS Finisher will appear fully functional.
