Chapter 1: Introduction to the DES-32 Pneumatic Heat Seal Machine
The DES-32 pneumatic heat seal machine, manufactured and supported by Texas Automation
Products, Inc., is the most advanced heat sealing machine in the industry. In addition to being
dependable and easy to use, it offers the following features and capabilities:
Power “ON-OFF” Switch.
Intel Microprocessor based system controls and monitors all machine functions.
User friendly illuminated pushbutton inputs for setting of machine functions. Large red
LED display can be easily read up to 30 feet away and the readout has a rotating
sequence to display the time, temperature, and pressure settings.
Two conveniently located “Start Cycle” pushbuttons located on each side of the
machine. (To initiate cycle, simultaneously depress both of the start buttons.)
Oversized “Emergency Release” pushbutton is located on the front of the machine. If it
is actuated, press will immediately open.
Cycle Timer is programmable in ½ second increments. After the machine is actuated,
the timer counts down until the cycle is completed allowing the operator to monitor the
status of the cycle at any time.
Built in resettable cycle counter displays cycle count up to 3999 and only counts
completed cycles. The counter does not recognize any cycle that has been interrupted.
This discourages the practice of operator short cycling, a major cause of tape adhesion
failure.
Top and bottom platen temperatures are adjustable from 100° to 450° Fahrenheit. Top
or bottom platen temperature can be turned “OFF” individually if desired.
Air Regulator / Filter / Gauge Assembly attached to machine.
Air Pressure adjustable from 25 to 120 psi. Total platen pressure is approximately 707
lbs. at 100 psi line pressure.
The Air Cylinder has a ¾” diameter piston rod and the Guide Bar is made of ½” diameter
steel and glides through a DU bearing. Both assure long life, rigidity, and platen
alignment.
Control Lockout feature prevents unauthorized personnel from tampering with machine
settings.
Parameter Lockout feature prevents operator from cycling machine if temperature or
pressure varies more than +/- 10 from their set point.
Slide on Platen Covers for quick change from sponge pad or teflon surface.
Electrical Fuse mounted on circuit board inside machine.
Rigidly built for minimal press “breathing”.
Spacious throat area allows for easy handling of large or bulky items.
