There are additional features that are described in the supplied manufacturer’s manual.
One of the notable features is the ability to set a temperature “Offset Bias”. This feature allows
you to program the controller to reflect the outside roll surface temperature of the Heated
Laminating Roll as opposed to the internal temperature.
LAMINATING PROCEDURE
There are many ways to use the HL-100/101 hot roll laminator. The following is a basic
description of the principles of laminating. Your particular lamination may require steps in
addition or different than the following.
1. Raise the top Heat Laminating Roll by pressing the Up button.
2. Turn the Heat Power switch on and set the Programmable Heat Control to the desired
temperature. Make sure you follow the manufacturer’s manual instructions and wait 45
minutes before laminating.
3. Load any roll form material on the Unwind Stand.
4. Set the speed for the Drive Laminating Roll.
5. Make sure the Motor Power switch is in the OFF position.
6. Thread the roll form material according to your need to either not preheat or preheat the
web before entering the Nip. (To preheat the web, thread the web directly in contact with
the top Heat Laminating Roll and inside of the Guide Roll. To not preheat the web thread
the material around the Guide Roll before entering the Nip)
7. Place the sheet or other material to be laminated on the Laminating Platform at the entry
point of the Nip.
8. Make sure that the adhesive side of your sample is in contact with the web and position it
in the Nip of the laminating rolls.
9. Press the Down button to lower the top Heat Laminating Roll.
10. Turn the Motor Power switch on to start the laminator.
11. As the sample moves through the laminator it may be necessary to guide the laminated
sheet away from the Bottom Drive Roll. Material has a tendency to follow the cure of the
laminating roll.
12. When finished turn the Motor Power switch off and press the Up button to raise the top
Heat Laminating Roll.
