5. Our advice

To test new materials on your machine:

• Before testing any new material, carry out trials with a known material of the same thickness and, if possible, PVC.

• Determine the optimum parameters for good quality welding.

• Without touching the settings you've just found, place the new material under the press and send a welding cycle.

• Observe the variation of parameters on the machine during welding.

• The machine has to reach certain values for the weld to be good. If you don't reach them, then modify the parameters: power, time, tool temperature, etc.
