 INTRODUCTION

The Triad Wedge Welding System is designed for in house fabrication of a wide range
of flexible membranes. This includes, but is not limited to, PVC, PP, PE, LDPE,
Urethane, etc.

Thickness of material that can be welded will vary also with product. Normal range is
5-100 mil thickness and can be supported or non-supported material.

The Triad comes complete with three different guides. This will allow you to perform
the overlap weld, hem weld, prayer weld and many more welding options.

The Triad uses a hot wedge as its heat source. This method will give you smokeless
and quiet operation. The wedge also allows for welding thinner products without
distortion.

The Triad can be used as a stationary welder or in an automatic mode. When using the
Triad in an automatic mode, a track system is suggested. Please refer to Track
System Specifications.

We suggest that you make samples welds of your product to achieve the correct
settings for heat, speed and wedge alignment before you start welding

3
 WEDGE ADJUSTMENT AND IDENTIFICATION

Proper wedge alignment is essential to achieve a proper weld. Units are preset at the
factory. Sample welds should be made prior to actual use of the machine.

If sample welds are good only on one side or the other, or only partially welded,
this means the wedge is not aligned or square to the rollers, and alignment adjustment
is needed.

Unplug unit from power source and make sure the wedge is cool before you work on the
machine.

1. Pull Pressure Roller Handle #1 down. This will close Pressure Rollers.

4
2. Swing Wedge Handle #2 in. This will engage wedge with rollers. The wedge #4
should rest or fit snug into the rollers #3 on both sides and should be centered.

3

5
3. To center wedge between rollers, turn screw #5, this will fine tune wedge up and
down. Only a 1/8 or 1/4 turn is necessary. Do not overturn. Move Pressure Roller
Handle up and down slowly to check centering adjustment. Swing wedge handle in
and out to ensure proper positioning.

4. Adjustment Screw #6 will move wedge on a center axis left and right. Loosen
Locking Screw #8 to make adjustment. Loosen Lock Nut #7, turn Adjustment
Screw clockwise to bring right side of wedge in and counterclockwise to bring left
side in. When adjusted properly, tighten Locking Screw and Lock Nut.

6
5. Wedge Stop Screw #9 will stop travel of wedge when positioning wedge in weld
position. Loosen Locknut #10 , turn Adjustment Screw in or out to proper position.
The edge of the wedge should fit snug and square into the rollers on each end.

10

Make a test weld before proceeding with job. Fine tuning your adjustments can be
made while wedge is hot. Do not run Hot Wedge into Silicon Rollers without material in
machine for extended periods, as it will distort the silicon.

Note: For thicker products (30mil and up) backing the wedge out may be
necessary to allow room for material.

7
WEDGE CLEANING AND HONING

For accurate welds and longer wedge life, the wedge should be cleaned and honed on a
regular basis.

CLEANING: Wedge cleaning should be done daily. There are two ways to clean the
wedge.

1. With the Pressure Rollers in the up position and the wedge in the weld position, use
the Brass Brush provided and clean wedge top and bottom. This can be done after
every weld or as needed.

2. The second method of cleaning the wedge is to increase the temperature to 510
degrees C for 5-10 minutes. This will burn the residue on the wedge and it will flake
off. Use the Brass Brush to remove.

HONING: Wedge Honing should be done if there are signs of wear on the wedge. This
is evident with uneven welds, rounding edges or corners on the wedge.

1. Install both smooth steel rollers on machine, (do not hone the wedge with the Silicon
rollers on machine).

2. Turn the forward/reverse switch to reverse position.

3. Swing wedge into weld position and close rollers.

4. Take the fine Emery Cloth provided, and run it back through the rollers on top of the
wedge. Repeat this step on the bottom of the wedge.

5. Repeat step 4 top and bottom until there is even wear the full length of wedge.

6. If Honing does not true up the wedge, refer to Wedge Adjustment section. A
combination of honing and adjustment may be necessary.

 Drive System Maintenance

The drive system of the Triad is made from a series of chains running within the
machine. Maintenance to the drive system can be a result of various factors including
slack in the chain tension, wear to the plastic chain rubs, and a disconnection of the
chain.

Lower Final Drive Chain:

1. Use a 9/64” hex wrench to remove the screws on the bottom side panel of the
Triad. Removing this panel will expose the chain, master link, tension plastic rub,
three additional plastic rubs, sprockets, and bearings.
2. Rotate the lower pressure roller back and forth to observe the slack in the chain.
3. Loosen the screw for the tension plastic rub and push forward to remove slack
from the chain. Tighten the screw and recheck. The screw for the plastic tension
rub can be placed in successive threaded holes to make several tension
adjustments.
4. Note: Do not apply any tension on the chain as this will cause stress and possible
failure to various parts in this area. Adjust only enough to remove slack in the
chain.

9
It is recommended to check wear to all the plastic rubs when the chain is adjusted.
When a 1/16” to 1/8” (1.5 to 3 mm) depth is cut into the plastic, these parts will need
to be replaced.

To evaluate and replace the plastic rubs:

1. Remove the tension in the chain by loosening and sliding back the tension plastic
rub.
2. Remove the screw and tension rub screw to examine the wear to the tension
plastic rub. Remove the remaining three plastic rubs to examine. Follow the
guidelines mentioned above.
3. Replace the rubs within the same position by using the indentation cut in the
Triad body. Then replace the tension plastic rub and screw. Adjust the chain as
described previously.

Check the chain connecting link to make sure the safety clip is intact. If the chain has
come apart during operation, the chain and/or master link will possibly need
replacement. When reassembling a master link, make sure the safety clip is installed
with the proper direction of travel (as shown).

10
Upper Final Drive Chain:

1. Use a 1/8” hex wrench to remove the screws on the green side cover of the
upper pressure roller arm. When removing the cover, the chain, master link,
plastic rubs, plastic tension levers, and sprockets will be visible.
2. If a droop or sag in the upper portion of the chain is seen, adjustment is
necessary.
3. Locate the two screws which hold the plastic tension levers in position. Use the
9/64” hex wrench to loosen one of these levers.
4. Push the lever up into the larger plastic rub section to remove the slack in the
chain and retighten the screw. Again, do not over tighten.

Periodically examine the wear in the plastic rubs for this chain drive. They will not wear
as quickly as the other chain yet will need replacement when worn. Follow the same
wear factor as the other chain. Also check the connecting link for the chain. When
reassembling a master link, make sure the safety clip is installed with the proper
direction of travel (as shown).

For further information regarding the various chains and other drive assemblies, refer
to the support section of our website at www.sinclairequipment.com

WEDGE REPLACEMENT

The wedge should be replaced when honing and adjustment is no longer effective. If
heater failure occurs after a period of time, the heaters may not be easily removed. The
wedge and heater will most likely have to be replaced together.

1. Unplug machine and make sure wedge is cool.

2. Remove Horn Bracket Screw #11 and remove Wedge Horn Assembly #14.

3. Unscrew and detach Heater Connector #12.

4. Remove both Wedge Screws #13, and remove wedge.

7. Install new wedge with Wedge Screws. Attach Heater Connector and re-attach
Wedge Horn.

6. Center Horn Bracket slot with Screw #11 and tighten.

7. Wedge alignment may be necessary, please refer to Wedge Adjustment Section.

Note: Wedge Horn assembly will move back and forth in slot for #11 screw. Moving
the horn will increase or decrease exposure of material to wedge for different preheat
time or exposure. Thinner products need little preheat, thicker material need more.

 GUIDES

All Guides shown below are included with the purchase of the standard machine. Each
guide will give you a specific type of weld and more. You can only use one guide
system at a time.

The Top Guide will be used with all three different welding functions, overlap, hem and
prayer welds. All Guides are adjustable.

To achieve a precise weld with no loose flap on top or bottom of sheet, guides should
be adjusted so that they are even with the width of wedge, or welding area.

Overlap Guide

1. Overlap Weld. Attach Overlap Guide #1 to base plate with the two screws
provided. Loosen screw (A) to adjust bottom side of overlap for proper alignment
and re-screw.

14
2. Hem Weld. Slide Hem Guide #2 onto the three stainless rods up to the outer Horn
Guide #3 (Diagram #1), leaving enough area between the two so material will slide
easily. Tighten thumbscrew (B) (Diagram #1), this will allow the outer Horn guide
and Hem guide to move as one. This dictates the size of the hem to be welded.
Push on Hem Slide #4 (Diagram #2) to achieve desired hem width or size. When
this is done, tighten thumbscrews (C) (Diagram #1) to lock in place.

3. Prayer or Fin Weld. Position the Prayer Guide #5 under the Welding Horn, placing
the key way into the slot. Fasten with screw provided once proper alignment is
completed.

4. Front Guides #6 are adjustable to pre-align material before you reach the welding
process. This will help the operator in feeding material into machine properly.

16
 MATERIAL SETUP

Material should be laid out as flat as possible, either on the floor or table depending on
how you set up your fabrication area. With most material and especially thinner goods,
it is prefered to pull out the wrinkles or pull taunt. The use of sheet metal in or next to
the machine on the table, allows for the use of magnets to position and hold the
material. Taping material taunt is a good practice.

To perform overlap welds, always overlap material more than the final weld width.
Example: With a 1 1/2” weld width, overlap the end of material or run 2 to 2 1/2”. The
machine and front guides will push the material to the desired overlap. If the material is
not overlapped or positioned properly, the machine will not make the desired overlap
weld. See sample below.

17
TRACK WELDING SPECIFICATIONS

Listed below in Figure 1 are the dimensions for building your Track System. Always
check the Triad in the track to make sure it does not bind up or that the track is to big so
the Triad will not be crisscrossing the track.

Make sure you always have a smooth, clean flat surface for the Triad to run on.

TABLE MOUNT TRACK: You may design your track in several ways. The best is to
build the Track into the table as shown in Figure 2 below. This will allow the material to
lay flat at all times, this is helpful in the welding process.

TABLE MOUNT ADD ON: You may want to add a Track on to the end of your existing
table as shown in Figure 3 below. Material on the short side will then fold on the floor.

FLOOR MOUNT TRACK: By using L iron or 1” by 1” wood strips, you can mount on the
floor with pins so they may be removed when not in use. This method can be used on a
table for removal also.

We also can suggest using sheet metal on top of the table so you may use magnets to
hold and position the material. See Figure 4.

 TRIAD OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The following procedures should be followed only after you have followed the Wedge
Adjustment and Guide adjustment procedures.

1. Pull up on Red Power Switch #3 to turn machine on. The Green Power Light #4 will
go on with a one second delay. The Green light will remain on as an indicator that
you have power to the machine. (Push down on Red Power Switch #3 to turn
machine off)

2. Temperature Controller #7 will come on with a 1-2 second delay after Green Power
Light goes on. Units are set in celsius at the factory. Press the Set Button and
hold, now press the up or down button until you reach your desired temperature.
Heat up time is only one to two minutes. Do not adjust heat over 510 degrees C.
For sample welds, set controller to 400 degrees C. This may not be your final
setting.

3. Set For/Rev Switch #5 to Forward position. This indicates direction of machine and
drive/pressure roller movement.

4. Set Man/Auto Switch #2 to Auto position. This will engage or start Drive/Pressure
rollers when wedge is moved into welding position.

machine move or automatic. With Drive Wheel Assembly out, the machine can be
used in a stationary mode.

6. #1 is the Speed Control. It is adjustable from 0-30 feet per minute. Normal setting
will be in the 30 to 60 range, for 12-30 mil goods.

7. #8 is the Pressure Knob. It can be adjusted for more or less pressure, depending on
the thickness of material.

8. Insert material into the machine with proper guides installed and close Pressure
Wheel Handle #9.

9. Swing Wedge Engagement Handle #11 in toward the machine, this will automatically
start forward motion of the Triad and engage wedge with material.
