Coating Unit Settings
The
iColor coater
is equipped with our “Patented” Coating Unit. This unique metering con
t
rol
design provides a quick & EZ adjustment of the coating thickness, on the fly. Applying an even and
precise thin layer of coating, the Coating Unit produces the highest gloss and a perfect finish
every
time.
The
iColor
Coating Unit has Six (6) main settings with additional positions between each settings for
precise coating control:
•
(< 0) Position - END OF DAY POSITION (Do Not Coat in this Position)
•
(0) Position - This is the calibration setting position (Do Not Coat in this Position)
•
(1) Position - Lowest pressure (Heaviest Film of Coating)
•
(2) Position - Medium Low pressure (Normal to Heavy Film of Coating)
•
(3) Position - Medium pressure (Normal Film of Coating)
•
(4) Position - Highest pressure - DO NOT EXCEED (Thin Film of Coating)
REMARKS:
The recommended Coating Unit pressure setting is between (2) and (3).
CAUTION:
When shutting the system down for the day, it is
VERY IMPORTANT
that you set
the coating unit metering controls to the
“END OF DAY POSITION.”
Failure to set the roller
pressure to the
“END OF DAY POSITION”
may result in a form roller flat spot which is
NOT
covered by our warranty!
NOTE:
The Coating Unit form roller and metering roller are calibrated (set parallel) at the factory
and are set in the (0) position. Should the rollers need to be calibrated, please follow
the Roller
Calibration Procedure on the next page.
