q
Three Emergency Stop Buttons are fitted to the machine, located prominently on
the front of both end cabinets and in the center of the machine on top of the Heater
assembly. When pressed, all power is removed from the working parts of the
machine and all pneumatic assemblies return to their safe state. The machine
cannot be used again until the Emergency Stop Buttons are reset twisting the button
¼ turn clockwise. When the emergency stop buttons are reset, the laminator
powers up in the STOP mode.
q
The Photo Eyes are located on both right and left side plates directly in front of the
Draw Down Assembly and directly in front of and behind the Heater Assembly. Both
the Draw Down and Heater Assemblies are on Pneumatic cylinders that lift them up
for webbing the machine. The Photo Eyes are activated when the machine is
switched to run mode. The Drawdown Assembly Photo Eyes are active for 10
seconds after the Run button is pushed and then become disabled for the liquid flow
adjustment. The Heater Assembly Photo Eyes are always enabled in the Run mode
and raise the assembly only when the beam is crossed, and will lower when
obstruction is removed.
q
The Draw Down Assembly is located directly over the Drain Tank and is used to
apply and smooth the coating onto the surface of the media. It is in the Down
position in Run mode only. It is automatically lowered when the machine is put into
Run mode.
q
The Tension Idler is used to provide back tension on the media during operation.
The Down position is used during webbing and the UP position is used during
operation.
q
The Idler Brakes allow adjustable brake pressure to be applied to the Tension Idler
and the Upper Idler to give the desired amount of back tension required to run wide
media.
q
The Sealant Pump is located in the center of the machine in the lower
compartment. The sealant pump is used to pump the coating up to the Applicator
Tube.
q
The Sealant Tank is located in the center of the machine in the lower compartment
next to the Sealant Pump. The Sealant Tank has a 37 Liter (10 US gallon) capacity
and is the main holding tank for the coating.
q
The Dryer Panel is located on top of the machine running between the two end
cabinets. This assembly is used to dry and cure the coating before it winds up on
the Take-up roller.
Note: The Dryer Panel has fans in the top of it that force air through perforations
in the face of the Heater. These fans are used to push humidity out of the
Dryer Panel compartment and assist in drying the media
.
