Overview
The SharperTek ultrasonic sewing machine joins plastic and rubber film products. Its operation is
simple, resembling a normal sewing machine's operation.
Highly productive and versatile, the machine can join and slit in one process. The bonded joint produced
is attractive, strong and durable.
The machine joins materials using ultrasonic technology. A rotating work head die, located in the upper
armature of the machine, is lowered to the table's work surface and pinches rubber or plastic films
between itself and an ultrasonic mould located in the table top. The ultrasonic mould transmits ultrasonic
energy, and the rotating work head die feeds the pinched films through the joining process creating a
permanent, bonded joint.
Power up and configure the machine using each of two switch panel interfaces: one located on the table
top, the other located below in the machines frame. The table top switch panel interface configures the
machines feed operation. The frame mounted switch panel interface configures the machines
ultrasonics.
You can adjust the rotating work head die set height by rotating the large nut located on top of the
machines armature.
You can tune the ultrasonic frequency by rotating a recessed rheostat located on the frame mounted
switch panel interface.
You can alter the machines joining pattern by replacing the rotating work head die located in the
armature of the machine.

Using The Switch Panel Interfaces
Table Top Switch Panel Interface
Power Supply On/Off. This enables the upper armature feed mechanism, turns on the cooling fan and
readies the machine for operation.
Feeding On/Off. This enables the rotating work head die's rotation. It will not rotate in any mode until this
switch is in the On position.
Mould Rotation On/Off. This enables the ultrasonic mould's rotation. The ultrasonic mould will rotate
continuously if this switch is in the on position and feed is activated.
Auto/Hand Up/Down. This selects how the rotating work head die is rotated. In the up, or Auto position, it
is rotated continuously whenever the ultrasonic generator is engaged. In the down, or Hand position, it is
rotated only when the operator engages the process by depressing the large foot pedal on the base of the
machine. NOTE: in the middle detent position, no feed is enabled.
Speed Adjustment Rotate. This adjusts the rotating work head die rotational feed speed. Clockwise
rotation increases feed speed, counterclockwise rotation decreases feed speed.

Using The Switch Panel Interfaces
Frame mounted switch panel interface
Power SW Up/Down. This enables the ultrasonics. Toggle the switch up for on, toggle the switch down
for off.
Continuous Work/Test Ultrasonics Down/Middle/Continuous Work. This switch determines how the
ultrasonics works with the armature feed. Select up for continuous operation. Select the middle position
for foot pedal operation. Select the momentary down position to enable the ultrasonics for testing.
NOTE: When you select Auto on the table top switch interface Auto/Hand switch, you must select
Continuous Work. When you select Hand on the table top switch interface Auto/Hand you must select the
middle positon of this switch.
Overload Illuminated/Not. When the ultrasonics is overloaded the Overload light is illuminated.
Power Ind. Illuminated/Not. When the power switch is Up, the Power Ind. Light is illuminated.
Amp Meter. This meter indicates the loading factor of the ultrasonics.

Turn on Ultrasonic Control
Select Continuous or Hand Feed
Note: Foot Pedal Enabled only with Hand Feed Selected
Set Feed Rate
Turn on Feeding
Turn on Mould Rotation if Required

Depress Left Pedal (small) To Lower Work Head Die
Depress Right Pedal (large) To Enable Feed
Note: Feeding Switch Must Be On for Either Continuous or Pedal Feed
Adjustments
Frequency Adjustment
Tune the ultrasonic frequency by operating the front mounted tuning dial located on the ultrasonic
control panel.
Material Thickness Adjustment
Located atop the work armature is a large locking nut adjustment. To set the tools work height, loosen
the locking jamb nut, and turn the large nut by hand. Counterclockwise turns lower the rotating work
head die, clockwise turns raise it.
NOTE: The working head should NEVER come in contact with the rotating mould surface of the
ultrasonic horn. Use care to ensure that there is no contact between the two metal surfaces.
Adjust the rotating work head die such that the material is pressed together between the rolling working
head and the rotating mould. The pressure of the head working against the fabric friction feeds the
material through the ultrasonic process.

C
Rotate the adjustment knob A so that the
rotating work head die B pinches the
materials and feeds them through across
the rotating mould surface C.
Do not allow the adjustment of A to
cause the surface of the work head die B
to come in contact with the rotating
mould surface C. Damage may occur.
