The gap between the two main rolls is called the nip. The purpose of adjusting the nip is to ensure continu- ous 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 pro- cedure.

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.
