1 Introduction & Safety Introduction The Scott 1800 Plastic Index Tab Machine is a semi--automatic, manually fed machine for laminating plastic to index tabs. The plastic is coated with a heat--seal adhesive which is activated when run through the machine under heat and pressure. The standard width of the plastic is 1--5/8 inches wide.
It should be further understood that information contained in this manual does not relieve operating and maintenance personnel of the responsibility of exercising normal good judgment in operating and care of the machine and its attendant equipment. Scott 1800 Issue 1 1- -5...

2 Installation Installation Requirements All procedures in this section provide advance planning and site preparation data for installation of the Scott 1800. Environmental requirements, unpacking instructions, electrical and physical specifications are included. This information should be used as a reference during the development of site preparation plans before you install your machine.
Step: 3. Turn the on/off switch on. The Heat light should come on and both heat controller lights will come on if the temperature is set high enough. Step: 4. Set both controllers to 225_F. After the machine has reached running temperature, the lights on the heat controllers will go on and off. Scott 1800 Issue 1 2- -4...
Step: 2. After the dies have been checked and properly reset if necessary, you may now connect the air to the machine. Make sure the pressure regulator is set to 80 P.S.I. Fig. 2-4. Connect Air to Machine Scott 1800 Issue 1 2- -5...
Step: 3. To adjust a tighter or looser fold, turn the knurled pin located between the plastic feed rollers and the drag roller. Note ! Recommended Tension is three Plastic Thicknesses. Fig. 2-7. Turn Knob for Tighter or Looser Fold Scott 1800 Issue 1 2- -6...

13/10ths of a second which compares with the original timer in the older 1800 machines. The setting of 013 on the left timer, and 001 on the right timer will give you a machine cycle time of 1.5 seconds total duration.
3 Operation Scott 1800 Frequently Asked Questions When the plastic is put through your Scott 1800, the heated platens melt the adhesive and bonds it to the pores of the paper. The adhesive “sets”, giving it a good bond. Q - - Are there differences in the bonding ability of various paper stocks? Q - - Why are some papers better for bonding than others? A-- Because of the construction and the openness of the pores varies.

3 Operation Flow Control Valve Setting The Scott 1800 has incorporated two flow control valves to help regulate the plastic piece size consistency. These two valves adjust the stroke speed of the plastic feed cylinder to assure an even stroke in and out to give you consistent plastic piece size with a variance of no greater than 1/32nd of an inch.
