Heat Seal Band Burn-in Steps:
Some naming in the following text will differ depending on the ROPEX Resistron controller model you are using. User input will also depend on whether you are using a Resistron display controller or HMI.
-
Step #1
Install new heat-seal band. -
Note: The controller may prompt the user to “RESET” prior to Step #2.
-
Step #2
Activate the Resistron controller “AutoCAL” function using the default value 20°C. -
Step #3
To burn-in the heat-seal band, set the Resistron controller heat-sealing temperature to approximately 250°C (or 50°C higher than your maximum required heat-sealing temperature). -
Step #4
Energize the heat-seal band for approximately 1 second.
Note: For Resistron display controllers - With the display in home position, press the "HAND" key to energize the heat-seal band for approximately 1 second. -
Step #5
Wait for the heat-seal band to cool to its ambient state (the displayed temperature will typically be less than the default value of 20°C). -
Step #6
Repeat the “AutoCAL” function to complete the burn-in procedure. -
The heat-seal band has now been burned-in and the alloy properties have been stabilized.
Note: The burn-in effect described above does not occur if the heat-sealing band has already been burned-in, or previously thermally stabilized by the manufacturer.
