Method for Tacking New Film to Existing Film
The following describes a method for loading film whereby
the existing film present on the heat rollers may be used in
place of the threading card to draw the new film through
the laminator. The adhesive of the existing film must be
tacky or liquefied. Leading edges of the new film will be
overlapped onto the tacky adhesive of the old film. The
existing film and the new film will be pulled through the
laminator together.
CAUTION: Do not cut yourself
CAUTION: Be careful not to cut any of the rollers!
1. Cut (1) remaining top film web between the idler bar
and heat roller. Cut (2) the film web between the lower
film supply and the idler bar (Figure 11).
CAUTION: Be careful not to cut any of the rollers!
2. Remove the feed table down.
3. Do not allow the adhesive side of the film to contact
the heat or pull rollers. Liquefied or tacky adhesive
deposited on heat rollers will require the rollers to be
cleaned per the section tilted.
4. Replace both the top and bottom rolls of film with new
rolls. Ensure the adhesive side is facing out.
5. Pull the film around the idler bars, with the exception
of PSA mounting adhesives without a release liner.
6. Tack the new film to the existing film on the heat
rollers. For PSA film, attach the release liner to the
rewind tube
7. Use the footswitch to advance the film into the heat
roller nip.
8. Observe the film being pulled through the laminator to
assure that the remaining existing film and the new
films are advancing concurrently. Any separation
between the films will require stopping the motor
immediately and the situation corrected.
9. Press STOP once the newly threaded film has
completely exited the pull rollers.
