Operation	F-36 PRO Laminator Operation Manual

..

The F-36 PRO Laminator is capable of processing a wide range of pressure sensitive and thermal laminates onto an equally wide range of image materials. The pri- mary considerations are:

•Laminate adhesives are compatible with image materials.

•The materials properly activate below the maxi- mum roll temperature and within the speed and roll nip pressure ranges available on the laminator.

It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure the compati- bility and operational settings for any laminates/image material combination. GBC Pro-Tech Technical Sup- port is available at the number provided in the Mainte- nance chapter for advice on some material combinations.

Use the following instructions when heating one or both of the laminating rolls. The procedure is the same for the top and bottom heaters.

1.Set the heater switch to ON.

2.Adjust the temperature controller for the desired operating temperature using the temperature con- troller dial adjustment.

3.When heating the rolls, keep the top roll down and turning at a moderate speed to prevent uneven heating.

4.The temperature controllers have LED (light emit- ting diode) readouts on the rotary dial to indicate the status of the heating system. See Figure 3-5 to learn about the readouts.

The following procedure is applicable to both the top and bottom feed unwinds.

1. Secure the braking film mount arm so as to center

the film between the side cabinets.

Red: Set point has not been reached

Green: Temperature is exactly at set point

Solid: Temperature is within 5° of set point

Blinking: Temperature is lower than 5° of set point

2.	Loosen the core support film mount arm and slide
	it to the drive side of the machine.
3.	Install the laminating film onto the braking mount
	arm and slide the core support arm over to support
	the laminating film's end.
4.	Secure the support arm.

Off: Set point has been reached or exceeded

5.It will take approximately 15 minutes for the lami- nating roll(s) to reach operating temperature. When the preset operating temperature has been reached, the machine is ready to use.
