Front Table (Vacuum Table)
GraphicMaster series are built so that the user only has to fold up the table, rather than
taking off the table, in order to load the laminating films on the unit.
‘START’ button will be inactive while the table is in folded position with VFD Control Panel
displaying “Folded Front Table.”
The button becomes active once the table is put back to original position.

Warning : If the Foot Switch is to be used in order to run the machine with the table folded,
be extremely cautious of the roller nip.
Auto Pressure Release Function of the Front Roller
If the hot rollers remain closed more than 4 minutes under temp. over 80 , warning beep
will sound for one second. If it lasts over 5 minutes overall, the unit will release the nip
automatically. This function is to protect the silicone rubber rollers and will not release
the press (rear) rollers.
Air Regulator
This is useful when operator wants to control the air flow going into laminator from external
air compressor (not included).
The adjustment range is from 0 to 0.7MPa although it may vary depending on the capacity
of the compressor (3/4HP compressor recommended) It can be usually set at 0.5MPa for
normal operation and minimum operatable setting is 0.2MPa for proper lamination.
If a bow-like wave is observed in the middle of the laminated web, adjusting the pressure
down to 0.3 or even to 0.2 may get rid of it. (But at the same time air bubbles may appear
on laminated film-to-film edges, which can be trimmed off after lamination)
Function of the Stretch Bar
This is installed in all GraphicMaster-1600HR and 2100HR as a standard feature and it
helps to get rid of the bow-like wave on the laminated web. Directing laminated web over
the Strech Bar is strongly recommended for all hot lamination work, specially for long,
continuous operation.
