2 DESCRIPTION

This chapter describes the machine and its operating basics.
2.1

General description

The machine described in this manual is a mono-directional machine dedicated for processing
pressure sensitive materials.
While feeding through images and the coating films, the two silicone coated main rollers generate
the pressure.
The area where the upper and lower main roller meet is called the "nip". The upper main roller can
be moved up or down manually, so the nip can be varied to feed materials of various thicknesses.
The nip setting hand wheel also sets the pressure for the laminating process.
The lower main roller is motor driven. The speed can be manually set between zero and a given
maximum value.
The top roller is equipped with a heater to assist in the lamination process. The heat assist makes
the adhesive more active and allowes it to spread more evenly, which improves the results.
The machine has two material unwind shaft positions in the rear. The supports in the upper front
position can clamp a (plastic) cilinder used for release liner wind-up.
The machine can be divided into an upper and a lower section.
The upper section, above the in-feed table, is suitable for unwind material with release liner.
The lower section can only unwind material without release liner.
