Orca 80-99 Operation and Maintenance Manual

Installation

 

 

7.Once the ramps are secured and the hold down plates are removed, the machine can be rolled off the crate bottom. This will require four people handling the machine on its four corners and carefully rolling the machine off the crate bottom (see diagram). The machine can now be rolled into its final operating position.

Choose a spot with sufficient space around the unit so that there can be front and back work tables and adequate space for efficient material flow. Thus, a typical room area requirement for the ORCA 80-99 is 20 X 24 feet (6.0 x

7.3Meters) to allow use of work tables in front and to the rear of the machine. See the suggested layout in Fig. 1-1 (page 4-4).

Once the Orca 80-99 Laminator has been placed in its final position, optimum performance is obtained by installing the supplied leveling pads and leveling the machine. Install one leveling pad on each foot-bolt, tightening securely.

Lower the leveling pad to the floor by turning down the foot bolts. Turn all the bolts sufficiently to lift all four of the casters off the floor.

CAUTION:

Some generation of static electricity is unavoidable during the laminating process due to the nature of the materials used. In order to avoid any hazard of ignition, fire or explosion due to static spark, it is imperative that the operating environment is free of dust, flammable liquids, and vapors.

Then, face the machine and place a carpenter’s level left- to-right on one of the idlers. Adjust the bolts on the front two foot brackets so that the machine is level left-to-right. Then, move the level to the rear of the machine and adjust the rear two leveling pads.

Next, place the level front-to-rear on one of the air cylinder brackets and adjust the bolts equally on the two foot brackets on that side. Move the level to the other air cylinder bracket and repeat the procedure for the other side.

After both sides have been leveled front-to-back, go back and check the side-to-side level condition of the front

and rear of the machine to insure that it has not changed.

If it has, repeat the procedure until the machine’s front, rear, and both sides are all level. Tighten the lock nuts securely to the foot brackets.

8.At this point a qualified electrician connects power to the machine. Make sure before supply power is provided that the machine circuit breaker is in the off position. This is also the point where the appropriate supply of clean, dry compressed air is connected to the machine (see power and air requirements).

Electrical Requirements

The ORCA 80-99 is designed to accept 220 to 240-volt AC, 50/60-Hz, 60 Amps, single phase 3 wire (USA). The peak power required by the unit is 55 Amperes. Or, in Europe only 3-N phase 230/400 VAC, 50 Hz, 25 Amps per phase.

Before attempting to electrically connect or operate your new Orca 80-99 Laminator, a qualified, licensed electrician should be consulted to ensure that an adequate power supply, having the appropriate capacity, overcurrent protection, safety lockouts, etc., is available; and to ensure that the power supply of the Orca 80-99 is in accordance with all established national and regional electrical codes and standards.

CAUTION:

The air supply to the Orca must be clean and dry or the machine will be damaged.

GBC Pro-Tech, will not be responsible for damage to the equipment caused by improper connection, incorrect power supply or other incorrect electrical installation.

Before initial power is applied to the machine assure that all toggle switches on the front and rear control panels and the main power circuit breaker (inside/bottom of the left-side cabinet) are set to OFF. The AC connection is located on the bottom/front of the left-side cabinet.
