5.4 Webbing
For most processes the machine must be webbed before images on thin film or on panels
can be processed. The machine can be webbed for single sided or double sided
processing.
Note:
In single sided processes adhesive residues will stay behind on the bottom roller where
the film is wider than the images. To prevent this, a release liner of the same width as
the top film can be used in the bottom section. The release liner can easily be removed
later on.
When webbing a film with a release liner, the film is always fed over a splitter bar (or idler),
where the release liner is separated from the film.
To increase contact surface with the heated main roller, heat sensitive film also runs via
this idler (splitter bar).
In this section an unwind (or wind-up) roll can also be an unwind/wind-up shaft position set
as unwind (or wind-up).
To feed in the films a leader panel is needed of the same thickness as the panels to
process. For processing thin images a leader panel is provided. When this panel is
through, the nip is set to zero and the images can be fed.
