1. Installation 19 4 DESCRIPTION This chapter describes the machine and its operating basics 4 1 General description The machine described in this manual is a multi directional machine dedicated for processing pressure sensitive or heat activated laminating materials While feeding through images and coating films the two silicone coated main rollers generate the nip pressure The area where the upper and lower main roller meet is called the nip The upper main roller can be moved up or down pnuematically so the nip can be varied to feed materials of various thicknesses A numerical read out on the Easy Operator Interface EOI panel shows the nip opening set value The lower main roller is motor driven The speed can be manually set between zero and 15 feet 4 6 Meters per minute The speed setting is also displayed on the EOI Because both main front rollers are equipped with heaters heat activated materials can be processed with these rollers Each main roller has its own temperature control so top and bottom roller temperature must be set separately This is also accomplished using the EOI In addition to the main rollers a pull roller set is provided to prevent warping of heated film in an encapsulation process These rollers can also be used with the machine running in the reverse direction to apply cold lamination films Cooling fans and chill idlers installed between the main and pull roller sets When both heate2.
