Visually inspect the top and bottom films where
they enter the nip.
The films should be tight against the rollers
at both ends. If they are not, use the tension
adjustment knobs to tighten the loose supply film
brake and run another test.
Ensure that the release liner take-up is keeping
the liner tight against the idler bar.
If it is loose, use the tension adjustment knob to
increase the tension.
Run test materials before laminating good
materials.
