Method for Tracking 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 remaining top and bottom film webs between the
idler bar and heat rollers (Figure 33).
CAUTION: Do not cut the Heat Rollers when cutting the
film web
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
TALON 44/64 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 34).
7. Replace the safety shield and feed table.
8. Use the footswitch to advance the film into the heat
roller nip.
9. 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.
10. Press STOP ( ) once the newly threaded film has
completely exited the pull rollers.
