He therefore is obliged to familiarize operating personnel with the contents of this manual and make them aware of all possible hazards. Do not change, remove or disable the safety facilities. -
Page 10: On The Machine
This symbol is placed on those places where electrostatic charges can be build-up. The machine parts close to the nip and the output material are most likely building up charges. Therefore ESD-symbols are placed on the image guide and the output nip safety bars (3) Figure 1: Warning symbol locations. User Manual 62C/62S... -
Page 11: Description
2 DESCRIPTION This chapter describes the machine and its operating basics. General description The machine described in this manual is a mono-directional machine dedicated for processing pressure sensitive or heat activated materials. While feeding through images and the coating films, the two silicone coated main rollers generate the pressure. -
Page 12: Parts Identification
The top layer is a normal pressure sensitive laminate, in this case with a release liner. Heat sensitive laminates in general have no release liners (4), so they just consist of the laminate (2) with a heat activated adhesive layer (3). User Manual 62C/62S... -
Page 13: Process Principle
Process principle In all processes the materials are fed through the nip from the front side to be joined together by pressure and/or temperature. A process that makes maximum use of the machine is shown in Figure 4. Shown is an image roll to roll decaling process with a pressure sensitive top and bottom layer. -

190 cm (75 in.) + 2x maximum board length Note: Anti-static clothing and footwear of the operator and an anti-static floor coating will help reduce the build-up of electrostatic charges (ESD). A relative humidity of at least 70% also helps reducing ESD-build-up. User Manual 62C/62S... -

5. Connect the machine to the mains using the power cable supplied with the machine. CAUTION: Only if absolutely necessary, use an extension cable of ample capacity. Unroll the extension cable completely. WARNING: MAKE SURE THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE AND/OR THE EXTENSION CABLE IS NOT BLOCKING YOUR WAY AROUND THE MACHINE. User Manual 62C/62S... -
Page 19: Transport
Transport The machine can be transported on a smooth surface on its castors. CAUTION: Turn the leveling feet up completely to prevent them from bending or breaking if accidentally bumping into an obstacle. On rough surfaces use a pallet truck or forklift. When moving the machine over long distances, use the original pallet and packing material and follow the unpacking procedure in the opposite way. -

Close the nip and let the machine run at low speed, to avoid uneven hot spots. 5.1.1 Control panel This paragraph describes the controls and indicators on the control panel. When LED’s are blinking, this indicates an error. Refer to 5.1.4 for their meaning.

The heated roller needs time to reach its set temperature (e.g. from room temperature to maximum takes approximately 1 hour). It is recommended to let the machine run at a low speed, to avoid uneven hot spots. The buttons (4) and (5) are not used. User Manual 62C/62S... -
Page 23: Additional Controls
5.1.3 Additional controls Figure 11: Additional controls Emergency stop buttons (1), push and hold button; When pressed the rotation of the rolls is stopped immediately and the button is locked into this stop position. Turn the button to unlock it. Pressing start, reverse or pressing the footswitch starts the process again. - Page 24 The in-feed table has a number of features to help feeding images correctly. Some of these features can only be used in some of the processes. The features and their controls (A to M) are described below. User Manual 62C/62S...
- Page 25 Media trough (A) To unwind a medium from a roll. The trough can swing to the front (left) to be used or to the bottom rear (right) to be out of the way. When the trough (A) is in position it is locked with a detent (B). Media guide (C) To help feeding in the medium straight the media guide can be set to one side of the medium.

Page 26: Error Indications
All four pressure indication LED’s are flashing; Pressure too high or nip setting too narrow. The LED’s start flashing at 10% overload. When the pressure exceeds a 20% overload an audible signal is generated. Increase the nip to lower the pressure. User Manual 62C/62S... -
Page 27: Operating Modes
Operating modes The machine is either in normal mode, or slow mode. In both normal and slow mode the rollers can rotate in forward or in reverse direction. 5.2.1 Normal mode When slow mode is not activated (normal mode), the rotation speed of the rollers is set via the speed control knob. -
Page 28: Slow Mode
To change from slow mode speed to normal speed without stopping, press and hold the start button, release the footswitch and then release the start button. Changing to normal speed will not deactivate slow mode. Pressing the footswitch again will slow down rotation to slow mode speed again. User Manual 62C/62S... -
Page 29: Placing Film Rolls
Placing film rolls 5.3.1 Auto-grip shafts Both shafts in the front of the machine are the same. The shafts fit into the machine in both ways. Their function is determined by their position in the machine and the setting of the tension control. -

4. Push both sides of the shaft firmly into their supports. 5. Turn the shaft until the grippers lock in. 6. Position the film and the scrap core in the middle and align them. Note: When both upper and lower section are used, place both films at exactly the same position. -
Page 32: Pressure Setting
For narrower panels set the pressure proportional to the width between 40% and 80%. E.g. half width equals 60%. 4. Back-up the panel out of the nip Note: The image will add approximately an additional 5 to 10% to the pressure. User Manual 62C/62S... -
Page 33: Webbing
Webbing For most processes the machine must be webbed before images on thin film or on panels can be processed. The machine can be webbed for single sided or double sided processing. Note: In single sided processes adhesive residues will stay behind on the bottom roller where the film is wider than the images. -
Page 34: Upper And Lower Section
Feed a pressure sensitive film without release liner underneath the splitter bar (A), • Feed all other films over the splitter bar (B). 6. Pull the film forward until the end reaches above the nip and stick it to the film from the upper section. User Manual 62C/62S... -
Page 35: Result To Roll Or Roll To Roll
If the film has a release liner (B): • Peel off the release liner and pull it over the wind-up shaft, • Stick it from above onto the cylinder on the wind-up shaft. 7. Lower the in-feed table. 8. Push the films with a leader panel (C) into the nip using slow mode (B). Note: Use a leader panel of the same material, thickness and width as the panels to process. -
Page 36: Processes And Settings
10. With your right hand - keep the image smooth against the upper roller (5), preventing the image from wrinkling. Note: For the best result; do not stop while feeding an image. User Manual 62C/62S... -
Page 37: Pre-Coating Panels
5.5.2 Pre-coating panels This process is used to coat boards (substrates) with a pressure sensitive mounting film onto which images can be mounted. This process can also be used to create a carrier board. In this case a film with a non-stick surface is used. Note: The mounting film is usually provided with one release liner. -
Page 38: Double-Sided Lamination
To unload a roll from the shaft: 4. Turn the material roll in the wind-up direction to free the autogrip cords. 5. Take out or swing out the autogrip shaft. 6. Remove the material roll from the autogrip shaft. User Manual 62C/62S... -
Page 39: Maintenance
6 MAINTENANCE Cleaning The machine has to be cleaned regularly. Dirt and dust will have a negative influence on the result of the lamination processes. CAUTION: Do not use abrasive materials for cleaning the machine. This can damage the painted surfaces or the silicone covering of the rollers. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. -
Page 40: Preventive Maintenance
The figures below show some examples where it is caused by the main rollers (3) and gives a possible solution. Wait until a few meters is processed to see results. Pressure too high. Figure 23: Wrinkles due to high pressure. • Decrease the roller pressure a little (5-10%). User Manual 62C/62S... - Page 41 Pressure too low. Figure 24: Wrinkles due to low pressure. • Increase the roller pressure a little (5-10%). Unwind tension too low. Figure 25: Wrinkles due to low unwind tension. • Increase the unwind tension until the wrinkles (6) in the film on the roller disappear. The lines (7) in the process result will disappear as well.
