Setup of the F-60+ Laminator is quick and straightfor-
ward when instructions are followed exactly.
To adjust the nip, please see Maintenance.
Use only the minimum amount of roll pressure needed
to accomplish the task. While higher pressure can make
the adhesive bond faster, excess pressure can damage
the rolls. Wrinkles and bubbles have cau ses that gener-
ally cannot be cured by applying more pressure.
CAUTION
A typical roll pressure for soft substrates such as Foam-
core is between 30 to 40%.
The range of typical values for hard substrates is 30 to
50%.
The F-60+ Laminator has an adjustable roll pressure
for adjusting traction in the material across the width of
the material using the pull roll height adjust crank. The
same crank permits an infinite choice of gaps for board
mount applications.
