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.
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 30).
CAUTION: Be careful not to cut any of the rollers!
2. Remove the safety shield and tilt the feed table
down.
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 entitled
CARING FOR THE FALCON 60+(-1) LAMINATOR.
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 (Figure 31).
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 film 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.
