7.1

FEEDER DESCRIPTION

The main sections of the feeder are the lifting mechanism, table, feeder head, front guides, gate I, side
guides, in-feed wheels, and gate II. The feeder table is not removable. It is controlled by chains and
guided on two guide bars. The sheets are taken off the table and loaded in the machine by the feeder
head. During laminating, paper is taken off the top of the stack. The feeder head sensor checks the
stack height and controls the lifting mechanism. The feeder table is lifted automatically depending on
the paper withdrawal. One lifting step is 5/64 to 1/8 in. (2 - 3 mm). The movement of the feeder table is
either automatic controlled by the feeder head foot or by buttons on the main control panel. Refer to the
illustration in Chapter 4.1.
"STACK UP" (4) - the table will move up
"STACK DOWN" (5) - the table will move down

SHEET OVERLAP ADJUSTMENT

After any change of the sheet length, it is necessary to change the speed of the feeder head. This is
done by turning the regulator knob (t) manually.
Important
NEVER TURN THE KNOB IF THE MACHINE DOES NOT RUN.
Proceed as follows:
1. Start the machine.
2. Set the machine to a slow speed.
3. Set the arrow on the dial (u) with the manual knob (t) to the value, which corresponds to the
requested sheet length.
4. Check the sheetoverlap.
5. If a smaller overlap is required, turn the knob (t) slightly in the direction of the – arrow
(counterclockwise) shown on the sheet size label.
6. If a bigger overlap is required, turn the knob (t) slightly in the direction of the + arrow
(clockwise) shown on the sheet size label.
7. Wait untill 2 to 4 sheets are loaded after turning the knob (t) and only then adjust more. The
drive conversion unit is slightly delayed.
