Process control charts allow you to record the way you thread film through the machine's rolls and idlers (called webbing) and the control settings for each prod- uct and process. Process control charts are an excellent tool for training new operators. They provide a "road map" for correct machine setup and operation.

This section contains a blank process control chart and diagram for the F-60 as well as completed charts for the basic operations of the laminator.

GBC Pro-Tech laminators respond in a very accurate and repeatable manner. The charts provide a way to set up each time, every time for repeatable performance by assuring that all controls are set to optimum.

The process control charts should be kept in this man- ual or in a book close to the laminator. Use the machine to encapsulate the popular charts so they can withstand food and coffee spills and so they are always available for ready reference.

NOTE

When trying new products and processes, remember that GBC Pro-Tech's customer service representatives are only a phone call away.

The completed process control charts included in this section are based on Orca-Film and typical prints.

Laminator specifications

The GBC Laminator is a versatile and reliable tool designed for both home and office use, providing an efficient solution for preserving and enhancing documents through lamination. This innovative device offers a range of features, technologies, and characteristics that make it a popular choice among users who require high-quality lamination for various purposes.

One of the main features of the GBC Laminator is its user-friendly design, which allows for easy operation even for beginners. The intuitive control panel typically includes simple buttons for powering the device on or off, as well as temperature and speed settings. Many models also come with an indicator light that signals when the laminator is ready for use, ensuring optimal performance and preventing damage to documents.

The laminator employs advanced thermal laminating technology, which uses heat to seal plastic film around the document, creating a durable, protective layer. This process is highly effective for preserving important documents, such as certificates, photographs, and menus. Notably, the GBC Laminator is compatible with a variety of pouch sizes and thicknesses, accommodating different project needs. Common thicknesses range from 3 mil to 10 mil, allowing for flexibility in choosing the right level of protection.

Another standout characteristic of the GBC Laminator is its fast lamination speed. Many models can laminate a standard-size document in under a minute, significantly improving efficiency for users with large volumes of work. Additionally, some laminators feature a quick warm-up time, readying the machine for action in as little as five minutes.

The GBC Laminator also emphasizes safety, incorporating intelligent features such as a heat guard and auto shut-off function. This reduces the risk of burns and conserves energy, making it an ideal option for settings where safety is paramount.

Portability is another important aspect, with many GBC Laminators designed to be lightweight and compact. This makes it easy to transport between different locations or store in small spaces when not in use.

In conclusion, the GBC Laminator offers a perfect blend of functionality, safety, and user-friendliness, making it an indispensable tool for anyone needing reliable lamination. Whether for business presentations, creative projects, or personal documentation, the GBC Laminator is a top choice that ensures your materials are preserved and presented beautifully.
