Know your Laminator Continued-
1.) Safety Shield:
The Safety Shield aids in preventing the
operators fingers from becoming
pinched or burned in the heat rollers of
the laminator. With the Safety Shield
raised or removed, the machine goes
into the safety mode that prevents the
run button on the control panel from
starting the rollers to turn. The foot
pedal must be used when the Safety
Shield is raised or removed.
2.) Control Panel:
The Control Panel enables the operator
to control motor run/stop, motor
direction, motor speed, cooling fans, top
temperature, bottom temperature, job
number selection, job programming and
temperature reading.
3.) Feed Table:
The Feed Table supports the product
that is to be laminated. It also prevents
full access to the roller nip (where the
upper and lower roller meet) of the
laminator. Because of this, the
laminator has been designed not to
operate when the Feed Table is
removed. Re-install the Feed Table
before attempting to operate the
laminator.
4.) Lower Film Shaft/Unwind Shaft:
The Lower Film Shaft/Unwind Shaft
holds the lower film and allows the end
user to apply tension to the web.
5.) Upper Film Shaft/Unwind Shaft:
The Upper Film Shaft/Unwind Shaft
holds the Upper film and allows the end
user to apply tension to the web.
6.) Unwind Brake:
The Unwind Brakes are used to apply
tension to the web.
7.) Pressure Plate:
The Pressure Plate assists in keeping the
leading edge and the trailing edge of the
print flat when fed into the laminator.
8.) Emergency Stop/E-Stop:
The Emergency/E-Stops are a safety
feature that allows the operator to stop
the rollers from rotating by depressing
them as needed.
9.) Rewind Clutch Knob:
The rewinder is clutch driven. As you
increase the tension on the Rewind
Clutch Knob, the amount of force is
increased and increases the rate/strength
of the rewinder.
10.) Rewind Shaft:
The Rewind Shaft is driven by a clutch
system. The greater you increase the
clutch; the amount of force is increased
and increases the rate/strength of the
rewinder.
11.) Rear Slitter:
The Rear slitter is intended to cut the
web output from the laminator and
should not be used for any other
purpose.
12.) Power Switch:
The Main Power Switch turns the
laminator on and off. It supplies power
to the laminator.
13.) Foot Pedal:
The Foot Pedal allows the operator to
start and stop the machine without using
the Main Control Panel.
14.) Power Cord:
The Power cord comes with the machine
and requires certain plug configurations.
Please see the Specs to determine
correct outlet configuration.
15.) Web Clutch:
Use the Web clutch to control tension
between the main rolls and the pull
rollers. This will assist the end user in
ensuring good output.
16.) Roll Lift Handle/Gap Adjust. Handle:
Use this Handle to select the proper
settings depending on what application
is to be used.
