Mounting

Step 8 –

Remove the image from the rear of the laminator and trim if necessary.

If the board is accidentally sent in too far at first, the release liner will get caught and will be

impossible to pull back. In this case, stop and reverse the rotation of roller until the liner can be

pulled away. The image must be held against the roller while the board feeds through to prevent

wrinkles. As the process becomes more familiar, the speed of the laminator may be increased to

make the process more efficient.

Take care that the opto-electronic protective device is not tripped by the release liner.

Pre-Coating

This process is used to coat substrates with a pressure-sensitive adhesive onto which images can

be mounted. The same process is used to create a carrier board (sled).

Preparation:

Mount the roll of self wound pressure-sensitive adhesive on the top supply shaft of the laminator

with the exposed adhesive facing you. Have a leader board ready with the same thickness as the

boards to be coated.

Step 1 –

Pull the adhesive down from the unwind station and over the top roller evenly, and down

across the face of both main rollers. Swing the feed-in table open for a moment to do this.

Step 2 –

Measure the thickness of the board(s) to be coated and set the pre-pressure setting and

nip setting at the correct value.

Step 3 –

Start slow mode and press the foot pedal and using the leader board, push the pressure-

sensitive adhesive film into the roller nip. Release the foot pedal when the rear edge of the leader

board is almost leaving the roller nip.

Step 4 –

Position the board to be coated into the nip, and choose one of the three speed settings.

When coating boards, ensure that the next board to be coated follows the previous board without

any gaps.

Step 5 –

Follow the last board being coated with the leader board once again to allow the final

board to clear the laminating rollers and then stop the motor and raise the top roller.
