5.2 Front control panel
The control panel on the Orca III/ Orca III T
Laminator is located at the front operating position of
the machine on the left ( control ) side cabinet.
The front control panel enables the operator
to control linear footage/ rate display, motor speed,
motor direction, motor auto/ stop, top temperature,
bottom temperature, main roller pressure and main
roller up/ down.
( 1 ) Speed Readout: Displays the speed of the
machine and the linear footage total. When the “ R” is
displayed, the readout is displaying the rate. When only
a numeric value is displayed, the readout is displaying
linear footage.
• The “ SEL “ button will toggle the unit between the
two choices of readouts. ( speed rate or linear
footage total )

whether the display is showing rate or linear footage
total.
