WARNING

HIGH VOLTAGE

 

HIGH TEMPERATURE

HIGH PRESSURE

 

►The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp can break with a loud bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, handled while hot, or worn over time. Note that each lamp has a different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them. In addition, when the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to fly into the lamp housing, and for gas containing mercury to escape from the projector’s vent holes.

About disposal of a lamp • This product contains a mercury lamp; do not put it in a trash. Dispose of it in accordance with environmental laws.

For lamp recycling, go to www.lamprecycle.org. (in the US)

For product disposal, contact your local government agency or www.eiae.org (in the US) or www.epsc.ca (in Canada).

For more information, call your dealer.

• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), unplug the power cord from the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement lamp from your local dealer. Note that shards of glass could damage the inside of the projector, or cause injury during handling, so please do not try to clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.

Disconnect • If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does),

• Before replacing the lamp, turn the projector off and unplug the power

cord, then wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool sufficiently.

 

Handling the lamp while hot can cause burns, as well as damaging the

 

lamp.

Never unscrew except the appointed (marked by an arrow) screws.

Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from the ceiling. This is dangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the shards will fall out when the cover is opened. In addition, working in high places is dangerous, so ask your local dealer to have the lamp replaced even if the bulb is not broken.

Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed. To replace the lamp, make sure that the screws are tightened firmly. Loose screws could result in damage or injury.

Use only the lamp of the specified type.

If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible that there are electrical problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this happens, contact your local dealer or a service representative.

Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst during use.

Using the lamp for long periods of time, could cause it dark, not to light up or to burst. When the pictures appear dark, or when the color tone is poor, please replace the lamp as soon as possible. Do not use old (used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.

Dukane 8755E-RJ, 8776-RJ user manual Maintenance, Lamp

8755E-RJ, 8776-RJ specifications

The Dukane 8776-RJ and 8755E-RJ are advanced ultrasonic welders designed for various industrial applications, particularly in the plastics and textiles sectors. Both machines are part of Dukane's extensive portfolio of ultrasonic technology solutions, renowned for their reliability, precision, and efficiency.

The Dukane 8776-RJ model is engineered for high-speed welding applications. It features a robust design that allows it to operate effectively in demanding environments. One of the hallmark features of this machine is its ability to achieve strong, consistent welds without the need for additional adhesives or fasteners. This capability is crucial for manufacturers looking to streamline production processes while maintaining product integrity.

On the other hand, the Dukane 8755E-RJ offers unique benefits tailored for more specialized applications. It is equipped with a digital processor that enables enhanced control over the welding parameters, allowing users to fine-tune settings such as amplitude, time, and pressure. This not only maximizes the quality of the welds produced but also minimizes material waste, a critical factor in today’s cost-sensitive markets.

Both models utilize advanced ultrasonic technology that converts electrical energy into high-frequency mechanical vibrations. These vibrations are transmitted through a sonotrode and into the parts being joined, creating localized melting at the interface. This process is not only efficient but also ensures that welds are completed in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods.

The 8776-RJ and 8755E-RJ boast user-friendly interfaces that facilitate easy operation and monitoring. The machines come equipped with touch-screen controls, allowing operators to customize and save settings for repeatability across production runs. This feature is particularly advantageous in high-volume manufacturing environments, where consistency is paramount.

Safety is a crucial consideration in the design of both models. They are built with multiple safety features to ensure operator protection while maintaining functionality. This focus on safety helps to mitigate risks associated with machine operation and enhances overall workplace safety.

In summary, the Dukane 8776-RJ and 8755E-RJ ultrasonic welders represent cutting-edge solutions for industrial welding needs. Their combination of reliability, advanced technology, user-friendly interfaces, and safety features make them ideal choices for manufacturers aiming for high quality and efficiency in their production processes. Whether it’s for high-speed applications or more controlled processes, these machines deliver exceptional performance that meets the demands of modern manufacturing.
