6.8 Pre-Coating

This process is used to coat substrates with a self-adhesive coating onto which images can be mounted. The same process is used to create a carrier board (sled).

Preparation:

Mount the roll of self-wound pressure sensitive adhesive onto the top unwind of the laminator with the exposed adhesive facing you.

Have a leader board ready of the same thickness as the boards to be coated.

1.Pull the adhesive down from the top unwind station and over the top roller evenly, and down across the face of both main rollers. Remove the infeed table and the Image Guide for a moment to do this.

2.Measure the thickness of the board(s) to be coated, and select the correct nip setting.

3.Press the foot switch and, using the leader board, push the adhesive into the roller nip. Release the foot switch when the rear edge of the leader board is almost leaving the roller nip.

4.Position the board to be coated into the nip, and choose a speed setting.

Note:

When coating boards, ensure that the next board to be coated follows the previous board without any gaps.

Follow the last board being coated with the leader board once again to allow the final board to clear the laminating rollers and then stop the motor and raise the top roller.

6.9 Mounting using a ProSEAL® Mounting Board

1.Refer to the instruction sheet packed with each box of ProSEAL Mounting Boards for specific instructions on mounting with a ProSEAL Board.

2.Also, refer to the instruction sheet for information on Compatible Media, Process Conditions and Technical Information.

3.Place the image to be mounted on the adhesive-coated side of the mounting board (dull side of the board). Cover your print with the “cover sheet” as marked; (included with each box of ProSEAL Mounting Boards); please be sure that the board is completely covered by this sheet.

4.Set the Control Knob to the correct setting that matches the Mounting Board thickness.

5.Insert the board into the inlet opening. Ensure the board will enter centered and straight. A gentle push may be required to start the board into the machine. Hold the edges of the board until it is engaged in the unit and the laminator begins pulling it on its own.

6.The board will feed through the laminator and automatically exit at the rear of the unit. CAUTION! The board will be hot! Allow it to lie flat while cooling.

The vessel employs a streamlined form that is optimized for hydrodynamic efficiency, allowing it to travel at high speeds while minimizing wake and radar signature. This is crucial for stealth missions where the element of surprise is paramount.

Propulsion is another key characteristic of the SEAL 44/62. Equipped with hybrid propulsion systems, it combines traditional diesel engines with electric motors. This dual capability not only provides efficient fuel consumption during extended operations but also allows for silent running, making it harder to detect by enemy forces or anti-submarine warfare technologies.

The vessel’s onboard technology features a state-of-the-art command and control system that integrates artificial intelligence to enhance situational awareness. This system allows operators to assess threats in real time and coordinate responses seamlessly. Additionally, advanced radar and communication systems ensure that the SEAL 44/62 can maintain secure and reliable contact with command centers and allied units.

In terms of versatility, the SEAL 44/62 is designed with modular capabilities that can be customized based on mission requirements. It can be outfitted with various mission payloads, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs), and different sensor packages, facilitating missions ranging from intelligence gathering to combat support.

Furthermore, the SEAL 44/62's interior is designed for operability and comfort. The vessel accommodates a crew of skilled operators while ensuring they have access to all necessary facilities for extended deployments. The ergonomic workspace is equipped with modern technology that enhances efficiency and effectiveness.

Overall, the SEAL 44/62 represents a significant advancement in naval vessel design, showcasing a blend of speed, stealth, and versatility. Its advanced technologies and adaptable features make it a formidable asset in modern maritime operations, reflecting the evolving needs of naval warfare.
