Set Up The Take Up Mandrel - Primera FX1200 Operator's Manual

3.6 Set Up the Take Up Mandrels
You can configure the take up mandrels in many ways. The instructions below illustrate the
recommended method assuming a two column cut wrapped onto two separate rolls on the
upper take up mandrel with the edge waste trimmed and rolling over the lower take up mandrel.
Additional configurations include:
Edge waste wrap. Wrap the edge waste on small cores on the upper mandrel and wrap
finished labels on the lower take up mandrel. This requires additional label guides (sold
separately). You must wrap both sides of edge trim on the same mandrel to maintain even
tension.

Alternating finish rollers. This method would prevent finished rolls from interleaving as they
are wrapping. However, if edge waste is trimmed this method would probably require a vacuum
system to remove the edge waste.
