The first time the laminator is started and every time
it is serviced you should use the following checklist to
confirm that the unit is operating properly and that all
safety mechanisms are functioning.
Startup Checklist
Start the laminator and go through the following
checklist.
❒
Are the emergency stop buttons working?
Push down on one of the emergency stop buttons.
The laminator should stop and both the upper
main roll and upper pull roll should raise, if they
are lowered. Twist the button until it pops up. If
the main roll UP-DOWN switch is in the UP
position, the machine is reset once the emergency
stop button is released. If the switch in the the
DOWN position, it must be set to the UP
position to reset the machine. Always check both
buttons.
WARNING
Never operate the laminator unless both of the
emergency stop buttons are functioning
properly. You can be crushed or burned.
❒
Are the emergency stop kick cables working?
With the laminator running, step on or kick the
front emergency stop kick cable. The rolls should
stop turning and raise, if they are lowered. If the
main roll UP-DOWN switch is in the UP
position, the machine is reset once tension is
released from the kick cable. If the switch in the
the DOWN position, it must be set to the UP
position to reset the machine. Repeat the test for
the back emergency stop kick cable.
WARNING
Never operate the laminator unless both of the
emergency stop kick cables are functioning
properly. You can be crushed or burned.
❒
Is the photoelectric eye system working?
With the laminator running, place an object
approximately the size of your hand just in front
of the nip to confirm that the photoelectric eye
system is functioning. The
roll
s should stop.
Move the object away from the nip. The
laminator should resume operation.
WARNING
Never operate the laminator unless the
photoelectric eye system is functioning
properly. You can be crushed or burned.
❒
Is the motor functioning?
Test the motor at various speeds ranging from
0-14 fpm (feet per minute). At 0 the
roll
s should
stop turning.
Run the motor in both forward and reverse.
❒
Are the heaters working?
Verify that the top heater controller heats the top
roll and the bottom heater controller heats the
bottom roll.
❒
Is the footswitch operating?
Test the footswitch for both forward and reverse
operation. Verify that the footswitch overrides
the photoelectric eye by pressing the footswitch
and pushing an object as large as your hand into
the nip area.
Once you have completed the startup checklist you
can safely run a test sample.
