Operating
General
The laminator has control switches on the upper left and right
side of the housing. To the right you see the main supply switch,
the drive switch "RUN" and the speed adjustment potentiometer
(4). To the left there is the digital temperature control and the
HEATER switch (5).
The transport and heater switches are illuminated when turned
on.
The thermostat has an LCD display and four buttons (6).
Heating
If you turn on the main switch a welcome message with version
number appears on the controller display. After some seconds the
actual and the target temperature are displayed. You can switch
the heating on and off with the red switch called “Heater”. To ad-
just the temperature, press the red C button and use the arrow
keys up and down to adjust the desired temperature. Then press
the green Enter key. Thus the new set value is stored. A small "h"
in the display indicates that the laminator is heating. If the "h" dis-
appears, then the temperature is reached and the heating
switches off. The current temperature is shown in the display.
Temperature setting proposals are about 105°C for photoresist
and 115°C for solder mask. You must determine the best setting
for your application. If the temperature is too low the resist will not
stick to the copper, if it is too hot the material develops vapours
that could irritate your nose and throat, and the resist could lose
its sensitivity to light or could be otherwise damaged.
The speed setting depends on the thermal conductivity of the ma-
terial you want to laminate. As a starting value for your own tests
we recommend a setting of 0.5 m/min on the potentiometer scale.
A too fast speed can show the same defects like a too low temper-
ature setting. Vice versa a too slow speed shows the same defects
as a too high temperature.
Inserting the laminate
The knob at the right side of the laminator serves for turning the
lamination rollers by hand (7). This is necessary because one im-
portant principal of construction of the RLM laminators is that the
transport rollers are separate from the lamination rollers. So the
knob serves mainly for feeding the laminate until the transport
rollers can grab it. You will need this knob only once each time you
mount a new coil.
Pressure adjustment
The knob on the lower right front is used to adjust the lamination
pressure (8). This is important as the RLM laminators can be used
for solder mask application as well. A scale to read out the setting
