1-2 FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Your new laminator has several standard features that set it apart from other models.
Automatic voltage detection.
Automatically detects and adapts to power supply
(100-120 v AC or 200-240 v AC)
Variable speed.
The laminator operates at any speed up to 15 feet / 4.5 meters per
minute. Thicker hot films are generally applied better at mid-range to lower speeds,
while 1.5 mil hot films should be applied at mid-range to higher speeds.
Precision heat control.
The programmable digital heat control prevents the
laminator from operating outside the optimum temperature for your film and provides
consistent heating of the laminating rollers throughout the entire temperature range.
Ease of cleaning.
The heated silicone rubber laminating rollers and the silicone
rubber pull rollers of the laminator should be cleaned regularly. The safety shield
(see below) on the laminator removes in seconds, making it easy to clean the
laminating rollers.
Attached safety shield.
The polycarbonate shield is clear so operators can see
their work and
does not conduct heat so they’ll be protected from hot areas. It is
fixed to the feed tray, and the laminator will not operate if the safety shield is not in
place.
Lamination pressure.
The rubber rollers are spring-loaded and preset to ensure
correct and even lamination pressure.
Film tension controls.
Film tension is controlled at the idler roller instead of on the
mandrels like most laminators. It requires virtually no adjustment and makes loading
new film rolls simple.
Ease of maintenance.
The Compass is made to last. However, some items on a
laminator do wear out. Even the high-quality silicone rubber used in the rollers will
lose flexibility over time. Extensive use may wear out the rollers, or an operator may
cut a roller by accident. Rollers and other key parts can be changed quickly without
disassembling the frame.
Parts are available by calling the LEDCO Service
Department at 1-800-937-9293 or 1 (585) 367-2392.
Reverse.
The reverse switch can be invaluable to help avoid problems or clear
misfeeds.
Right and left adjustable feed guides.
Silicone rubber laminating rollers.
The rollers are flexible enough to provide a
good edge seal and firm enough to offer a good surface seal. A high silicone content
ensures a much longer average roller life.
Very strong steel cores.
These prevent roller flexing and insure uniform pressure
across the width of the laminate, giving you the best quality lamination available in a
medium-duty commercial machine.
Laminate supply gauge with low film warning system.
The information screen
on the laminator displays remaining film supply and flashes a warning symbol when
there is less than 10% remaining, helping to prevent out-of-film wrap-arounds.
Automatic Standby/Shutdown Mode:
Automatically switches to standby after 30
minutes and automatically shuts off after 60 minutes to save energy.
Designed, assembled, and tested in the USA.
