❏
Is the safety system on the doors functioning.
Open any door of the image transfer laminator. The
rolls should slow to 3.0 ft/min (1 m/min) with the
doors open. You should not be able to increase the
speed of the machine above 3.0 ft/min (1 m/min).
☞
Note
The speed control works best with a slow, gradual
increase or decrease of the speed control knob.
IMPORTANT
❏
Is the motor functioning?
Test the motor at various speeds ranging from
0-19 ft/min (0-5.8 m/min). At 0 the
roll
s should
stop turning.
Run the motor in both forward and reverse. In
reverse you should hear a beep once a second to
alert you that you are operating the machine in
reverse.
❏
Are the heaters working?
Verify that the heater controller heats the top roll.
(The bottom roll cannot be heated.)
❏
Is the temperature set correctly?
Check that the temperature is set to 290
°
F
(143.3
°
C) for most transfer processes.
IMPORTANT
CAUTION
Once you have completed the startup checklist you can
safely run a test sample.
Never operate the image transfer laminator
unless safety system on the doors is functioning
properly. You can be crushed or burned.
Never allow any film, packing material, object,
etc. to block the infrared temperature sensor. The
sensor has a cone-shaped view of the roll that
should never be obstructed. Severe roll damage
can occur.
Never allow loose objects (pens, knife blades,
jewelry, etc.) close to the machine or web paths.
These objects can fall onto the web and can be
carried through to the roll. Severe roll damage
can occur.
