Method for Tacking New Film to Existing Film
The following describes a method for loading film
whereby the existing film present on the heat
rollers may be used in place of the threading card
to draw the new film through the laminator. The
adhesive of the existing film must be tacky or
liquefied. Leading edges of the new film will be
overlapped onto the tacky adhesive of the old film.
The existing film and the new film will be pulled
through the laminator together.
CAUTION: Do not cut yourself
CAUTION: Be careful not to cut any of the
rollers!
1. Cut (1) remaining top film web between the
idler bar and heat roller. Cut (2) the film web
between the lower film supply and the idler
bar (FIGURE 27).
CAUTION: Be careful not to cut any of the
rollers!
2. Remove the feed table.
3. Do not allow the adhesive side of the film to
contact the heat or pull rollers. Liquefied or
tacky adhesive deposited on heat rollers will
require the rollers to be cleaned per the section
tilted.
4. Replace both the top and bottom rolls of film
with new rolls. Ensure the adhesive side is
facing out.
5. Pull the film around the idler bars, with the
exception of PSA mounting adhesives without
a release liner.
6. Tack the new film to the existing film on the
heat rollers. For PSA film, attach the release
liner to the rewind tube
7. Use the footswitch to advance the film into the
heat roller nip.
8. Observe the film being pulled through the
laminator to assure that the remaining existing
film and the new films are advancing
concurrently. Any separation between the
films will require stopping the motor
immediately and the situation corrected.
9. Press STOP ( ) once the newly threaded film
has completely exited the pull rollers.
