Chapter 1: Installation Preface Your Advanced Greig Laminators, Inc. (AGL) laminator is a finely engineered and designed piece of equipment. The nip rolls are the heart and soul of the laminator. To insure a quality end product, the rolls are rigid enough to carry their weight, plus the working pressures against them without deflecting.
Chapter 1: Installation Selecting Area Select an area that has a smooth, level surface for the laminator to set on, this will allow for easier maneuverability of the machine if it requires moving later on. The area should be large enough to allow an operator ample room to properly handle your largest product on the infeed and outfeed sides of the laminator.
Chapter 1: Installation Recycling Packaging If your machine came in a fully enclosed crate, the crate can be stored flat for future use or dismantled and the wood can be recycled. The screws can be kept for future use of the crates or stored for some other use. The shrink wrap is not recyclable and should be thrown away.
Chapter 3: Safety General Machine Safety The following messages are written here for your safety, all operators and others around the laminator should read, understand and follow these messages. Read and understand all the safety instructions. Keep this manual in a place where it can be easily referenced by all operators. All connections to components and terminal blocks should be checked for tightness before initial startup.
Chapter 4: Operation General Power: A circuit breaker switch is located on the lower right rear of the machine to turn power on and off. Reset: Located on the right rear enclosure, the reset button is used to start the machine initially and restart the machine after an E-stop condition has occurred.
Chapter 4: Operation Front Right Control Panel The front right control panel looks like the figure below. Figure 1 Front Right Control Panel The Run button will turn the drive on to turn the rollers continuously in the forward direction. Stop The Stop button will stop the drive.
Chapter 4: Operation Front Left Control Panel The front left control panel looks like the figure below. Figure 2. Front Left Control Panel Liner Windup The regulator controls the pressure to the upper front liner windup. Top Roll Heat Control The button turns the heater on and off.
Chapter 4: Operation Rear Right Control Panel The rear right control panel looks like the figure below. Figure 3. Rear Right Control Panel Product Windup The regulator controls the pressure to the pneumatic clutch on the lower rear windup station. Reset The reset button is used to reset the machine after an estop or at initial power up.
Chapter 4: Operation Temperature Controls Your laminator has heated rolls that allow you to laminate with thermal films and pressure sensitive films that require heat to activate the adhesive. The temperature control has a maximum temperature set at the factory. The operator cannot set the temperature above this point.
Chapter 4: Operation Laminator Setup Your laminator has been designed to make the setup and lamination process as easy and repeatable as possible, however, there will be techniques that make this phase easier that you will only learn by using the machine. Do not get frustrated if the setup process takes longer than you expected, the process will get quicker and easier the more you use your laminator.

Chapter 4: Operation Lamination Process 1. Load material onto the upper rear and lower front unwind stations. Reduce pressure to the brakes to allow the material to be pulled from the stations. Lift the infeed table and rotate it up and out of the way. 2.

Chapter 4: Operation Inline Trimming The left Front control panel looks like the figure below. Figure 5. Inline trimmer blade holder 1. Using 5/16 allen wrench loosen bolts (1) that secure body to the shaft. Position the trimmer in the approx- imate position along the shaft.
Chapter 4: Operation Process Output Trouble Shooting Straight waves in output Pull roll creating too much tension Decrease clutch air pressure Film not cooling fast enough Slow feed rate down and turn on cooling system. Waves on one side of output Nip “zero”...
Chapter 4: Operation Wrinkles in Product Check the adhesive stock for wrinkles while operating. If wrinkles exist, this is a manufacturing material defect, and must be cut out of the roll. A laminator will not correct material defects. String the web straight and square between the unwind and the windup shafts. If it is not straight and square, the tension will not be even across the web and will cause wrinkling.

Chapter 5: Maintenance Maintenance As a result of years of experience, refined engineering and construction techniques, very little time need be lost to maintenance. However, regular maintenance will keep your laminator operating at its optimum level. Removing the enclosure covers to work on machine exposes person to electrocution and moving parts hazard.
Chapter 5: Maintenance Roller open and close rate The rollers must open and close evenly to prevent excessive wear on the cylinders and bearings. This rate is set at the factory, but can be adjusted in the field. Follow the procedure below to adjust the nip rolls. Maintenance that requires working on the machine while power and air are connected poses and imminent danger of electrocution or extremities being caught in rotating parts.

Chapter 5: Maintenance Slip Ring Maintenance It is recommended that during the first year, the slip ring be inspected monthly for connection condition, brush wear and ring cleanliness. After the first year you should have a good idea of how often the slip rings requires maintenance.
Chapter 6: Warranty Warranty and Conditions AGL warrants all models of the laminator’s product line manufactured to be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of one year with the exception of operator caused damage, or surface abrasions to the laminating rolls or other obvious caused damage.
