The gap between the two main rolls is called the nip. The purpose of adjusting the nip is to ensure continuous contact between the laminating rolls as the media is drawn through the machine. This procedure must be done regularly.

Tools required:

1/8" hex wrench

(2) ¾" open end wrenches

To adjust the nip:

CAUTION

The main rolls must be at room temperature

to achieve a proper nip setting.

1.Unplug the laminator and make sure it won’t be plugged back in while you are performing this procedure.

2.Remove the drive and control side cabinet covers with the 1/8" hex wrench by removing the six screws holding each cover in place.

3.Using the handwheel, lower the upper main roll until there is a small gap of light between the upper and lower main rolls.

4.Loosen the jamnut on the nip adjusting bolt on each side of the laminator as shown in Figure 4-4.
