    Operating This chapter describes the function of the controls and indicators, the operating modes, how to set up and operate the machine and a number of applications. The sections in this chapter are placed in a sequence in which the information is needed for laminating processes. For the mounting process the sections 4.3 and 4.4 can be skipped with the exception of setting the pressure (see section 4.4.5).
  • Page 18 Pressure indication (2), 4 LED’s; The LED’s indicate the pressure setting of the main rollers. When 2 LED’s light at the same time, they indicate the tens in between. See specifications for actual pressure range. All four LED’s flashing indicates a pressure or nip setting error. The LED’s start flashing at 10% overload.

  • Page 19: Additional Controls

    4.1.2 Additional controls Figure 9: Additional controls Emergency stop buttons (1), push and hold button; When pressed the rotation of the rolls is stopped immediately and the button is locked into this stop position. The safety indicator LED will flash while the button is depressed. Turn the button to unlock it.

  • Page 20: Operating Modes

    Operating modes The machine is either in normal mode, or slow mode. 4.2.1 Normal mode When slow mode is not activated (normal mode), the rotation speed of the rollers is set via the speed control knob. Start rotation by pressing the forward button or the footswitch. Rotation stops when a stop button is pressed or the footswitch is released.

  • Page 21: Slow Mode

    4.2.2 Slow mode Enter or leave Slow mode by pressing the slow mode button for 1 second. The selection is indicated by the slow mode indication LED. Entering slow mode will not change anything to the current movement of the rollers. In slow mode the rollers can run at normal or at slow mode speed.

  • Page 22: Auto-Grip Shafts

    4.3.1 Auto-grip shafts Both shafts in the rear of the machine are the same. Your machine may have the plastic Auto-grip shafts which look different than the figure below but function the same. The shafts fit into the machine in both ways. On the control panel side of the machine all the shafts and the supports snap together.

  • Page 23: Loading Shaft With Film Rolls

    4.3.2 Loading shaft with film rolls The film roll is put on the shaft depending on the type of film and the use in the upper or lower section of the machine. In general pressure sensitive film with release liner (A) is rolled up with the liner (3) and adhesive (2) to the outside of the film (1), whereas film without release liner (C) has its adhesive layer to the inside of the roll.

  • Page 24: Webbing

    Webbing For laminating processes the machine must be webbed before images on thin film or on panels can be processed. The machine can be webbed for single sided or double sided processing. When mounting images the machine is not webbed. Note: In single sided processes adhesive residues will stay behind on the bottom roller where the film is wider than the images.

  • Page 25: Using The Upper Section Only

    4.4.2 Using the upper section only Figure 15: Webbing upper section. Remove the image guide. Unwind the film from the upper or top unwind roll.  Feed a film without release liner over the splitter bar (A).  Feed a film with release liner underneath the splitter bar (B). Pull the film forward until approximately 10 cm (4 in.) is on the in-feed table.

  • Page 26: Presetting The Tension

    Pull the film forward until it almost reaches the in-feed table and apply it to the upper roller. If the film has a release liner (B):  Peel off the release liner,  Pull it up and stick it from below onto the tube on the wind-up position. 4.4.3.2 Now web the lower section Figure 17: Webbing lower section.

  • Page 27: Pressure Setting

    4.4.5 Pressure setting 4.4.5.1 Thin images When processing thin images (printer output, posters, etc.) pressure is preset when the upper and lower material is webbed. When the leader panel or release board is through the nip, the nip is set to zero and pressure is preset.

  • Page 28: Processes And Settings

    Processes and settings 4.5.1 Mounting images or decals In this process the machine is not webbed with film.  When mounting images onto a (pre-coated) board (B), the adhesive is on the mounting side of the board.  When mounting decals (A), the adhesive is on the back of the image.

  • Page 29: Pre-Coating Panels

    4.5.2 Pre-coating panels This process is used to coat boards (substrates) with a pressure sensitive mounting film onto which images can be mounted. This process can also be used to create a carrier board. In this case a film with a non-stick surface is used. Note: The mounting film is usually provided with one release liner.

  • Page 30: Decaling

    Using release liner  Use a roll of release liner in the lower section.  Web the upper and lower section of the machine as described above (section 4.4.3). When the images are cut from the result, the release liner will separate from the image automatically.
