LOADING FILM BY TRACKING NEW
FILM TO EXISTING FILM
Fig. 6-15. New Films Tacked to Old Films
The following describes a method for loading film whereby
the existing film on the rollers may be used in place of the
threading card to draw the new film through the laminator.
Leading edges of the new film will be overlapped onto the
adhesive of the old film. The existing film and the new film
will be pulled through the laminator together.
1.
Remove the print clamp (Artic Titan 1064 WF c) and
feed tray. Refer to Removing and
Installing the Print
Clamp (Artic Titan 1064 WF c)
and
Feed Table
Removal and Installation
in this section.
2.
Cut the remaining bottom film web between the
supply roll and rollers.
3.
Remove the existing bottom supply roll and replace
with new film. Refer to the
Loading Film Onto the
Supply Shafts
section in this chapter.
4.
Unroll enough film from the bottom roll of film to
tack to the existing bottom film. Make sure to
carefully align the edges of the films before tacking
them together.
5.
Cut the remaining top film web between the supply
roll and rollers. Do not allow the adhesive to stick to
the rollers or the bottom film.
6.
Remove the existing top supply roll and replace with
new film.
7.
Unroll enough film from the top supply roll shaft to
tack to the existing top film. Make sure to carefully
align the edges of the films before tacking them
together.
8.
Install the feed table and print clamp
(Artic Titan 1064 WF c).
9.
Set the speed for the slowest speed setting, press
RUN
or the
Foot Switch.
10. Watch the film being pulled through the laminator to
ensure that the remaining existing film and the new
film are advancing concurrently and evenly. Any
separation between the films will require stopping the
motor immediately and the situation corrected.
11. Release the foot switch or press
STOP
once the
newly threaded film completely exits the laminator.
12. Check the film alignment and adjust the tension if
needed. See the Film Alignment and Tension section
in this chapter.
