(2)FEEDER : The feeder is completely automatic in operation. After set up, minor pile height adjustments will be necesary for changes in pile characteristics.

INFORMATION: The feed table will only allow one sheet to enter the machine at a time. The Polaris will accommodate an 17 inch pile height.

(3)TABLE SIDE GUIDE: The side guides are adjustable to ensure accurate feeding. The Polaris is left justified All settings should be set from left to right. See

Figure 5.1.2.

CAUTION: The feed guide should be set outside the width of the film. The film should be completely inside the sheet being fed.

(4)SUCTION CUPS: The Feed Table works with a series of suction cups. The suction cup bar can be adjusted to allow operator to increase or decrease suction. See

Figure 5.1.2.

(5)PILE BLOWER: There are a series of air blow holes located on a support bar for the infeed plate, which blows air into the sheet pile. This helps in the separation of sheets and allows one sheet to be fed into the machine at a time.

See Figure 5.1.2.

(6)PILE HEIGHT SENSORS: The Pile Height Sensors control the feed table by automatically raising the table as images are being fed into the laminator. This is adjusted by the operator while the machine is running. See Figure 5.1.2.
