Quick Setup

Operations Manual	Polaris II

1.Place sheets in feeder with the grain parallel with the Nip.

2.Be sure that the pile is flat within 1/8”.

3.Move feeder up and stop the pile 1” from the infeed plate.

4.Adjust back and side guides.

5.Move pile up until top sheet is 1/8” from infeed plate.

6.Set pile sensor.

7.Turn compressor on and regulate until top sheet floats up to the infeed table.

8.Turn vacuum cups on or off according to the sheet width.

9.Set the sheet length, nip pressure and heat temperature for the application. (See “Application Guide” later in this section.)

10.Test feed sheets through the nip without film or heat. Adjust as necessary.

11.Web film and turn on heat to correct temperature.

12.Bring knife out of the paper path.

13.Start machine and run 4-5 sheets without cutting.

14.Adjust film location if needed. Film should be 1/4” from the edge of sheet.

15.Set up exit wheels. One on each edge of sheet and two in middle.

16.Set up knife return sensor 5” from edge of sheet.

17.Bring knife into paper path.

18.Start machine with knife on.

19.Make adjustments according to “Operation Tips” to follow.

Operation Tips

Feeding:

-Keep the top of the pile 1/8” from the infeed plate by using wodden wedges.

-Keep the front of the pile flat within 1/8”.

-Place 10-15 sheets of scrap paper on top of the job for setup and start.

-Place 1” of scrap paper under the job to insure all sheets are fed.

-Supply only enough air to the paper stack to float sheets up to the infeed plate.

Laminating:

-Run paper with the grain parallel to the nip to avoid side curl.

-Set temperature of heat roll according to the “Application Guide”

-Set nip pressure according to the “Application Guide”.

-To remove silvering, increase heat or nip pressure.

-All HI-TAC films must run 21 ft/min for best quality.

-If paper has curl in one corner, shift paper and film tp the middle of the laminator.

Cutting:

-Place the first wheel half way on the edge of the sheet at a slight inward angle.

-Place the last wheel fully on the far edge of the sheet at a slight inward angle.

-Place the two inner wheels straight with no pressure on the springs.

-Adjust springs on the outer wheels to achieve a flat sheet.

-Run lamination 3/8” from the edge of the paper for better knife engagement.

-Run paper with 1/4” overlap.

-Use the paper pick for lighter sheets.

-Flat sheets will cut better than curled sheets.
