Micro Head Adjustment


Used for the precise setting of the probe tip height depending on the film thickness.

Probe height Lock



Keeps a fixed height setting during the welding process.

Recommended to be used on thicker films, or for when welding film to thin card.

Probe Tip Cooling


Maintains a steady stream of cold air to stabilize the heat build up transmitted from the weld. 

This is important to establish a consistent and repeatable weld, especially for long welds.


Ultrasonic Generator:

a) Power on indicator.

b) Function Indicator.

c) Function Selector. Used to set Amplitude (50-100%)

d) Test Button.

e) Power Output Display.
