Front take-up shaft
for winding-up the release liner of some laminates and adhesives.
The take-up shafts have integrated wind-up clutches and spring activated cones
for easy loading
and webbing. One take-up shaft is located at the top front side of the laminator and one take-up
shaft is located at the bottom front side of the laminator.
To remove the plastic tube, push it to the left side against the spring activated cone and take out
the plastic pipe. Take an empty film core and hit at one end to create a flat spot, slide the core on to
the plastic tube.
Place the plastic tube at the spring activated cone at the left hand side, push and place the free end
of the plastic tube at the right hand side cone.
The take-up shaft is now ready for webbing.
Feeding Images
To aid feeding images, the laminator is equipped with an “Image guide”. The “Image guide” can be
positioned in front of the top roller at the feed-in table. The “Image guide” prevents the images from
lifting away from the table during feeding, or from interrupting the opto-electronic protective device.
How to feed images:
Step 1 –
For good results, the process requires that the images must be fed through correctly. The
leading edge of each image must be flat all the way across. Any wrinkles or creases in the image
will show when encapsulated perhaps even magnified. To aid feeding, the leading edge should also
be straight.
Step 2 –
Feed the image into the machine ensuring that the edge is parallel to the roller.
NOTE:
Do not stop the motor whilst an image is being finished as this can cause marks in the
output.
