DS-60 Operation and Maintenance Manual

Loading the materials is very simple. Remove the
unwind shaft from the position where the material is to
be installed. Slide the material onto the unwind shaft,
making sure that the orientation of the roll is correct.
Return the unwind shaft and material to the machine
and center the material between the side frames using a
tape measure. Once all the materials are loaded, the
machine can then be webbed. Some fabrics have a right
and a wrong side based on the fabric bias.

Use the following instructions when heating the upper
main roll.
1. Set the heater switch to ON.
2. Adjust the temperature controller for the desired
operating temperature using the temperature con-
troller push buttons.
3. When heating the rolls, keep the top roll down and
turning at a moderate speed to prevent uneven
heating.
4. It will take approximately 30 minutes for the main
roll(s) to reach operating temperature. When the
preset operating temperature has been reached, the
machine is ready to use.

Process control charts allow you to record the way you
thread material through the machine's rolls and idlers
(called webbing) and the control settings for each prod-
uct and process. Process control charts are an excellent
tool for training new operators. They provide a "road
map" for correct machine setup and operation.
This section contains a blank process control chart and
diagram for the DS-60 as well as completed charts for
the basic operations of the heat press.
GBC Pro-Tech Heat Presses respond in a very accurate
and repeatable manner. The charts provide a way to set
up each time, every time for repeatable performance by
assuring that all controls are set to optimum.
The process control charts should be kept in this man-
ual or in a book close to the heat press. Encapsulate the
popular charts so they can withstand food and coffee
spills and so they are always available for ready refer-
ence.

1. See process chart 3-2 and diagram 3-2a.
2. Make sure the infeed idler assembly is in the low-
ered position.
3. Set the heater controller to operational temperature
and confirm that it is rotating with the lower main
roll.
4. Once the upper main roll is at operating tempera-
ture, center the fabric and transfer paper on the
unwinds and secure.
5. Stop the rolls from turning and raise the upper
main roll.
6. Web the fabric through the machine, based on its
bias characteristics, all the way to the rear lower
rewind.
7. Web the transfer paper through the main roll nip
and lower to the main roll. Make sure the fabric
and paper are taut while webbing the machine.
8. Pivot the idler assembly into its up position and
secure it.
9. Start the heat press turning and take the transfer
paper up to the upper rewind and tape it to the
rewind.
10. Begin transfer.
11. To stop the transfer, stop the machine, lower the
idler assembly, and raise the main roll. The web
can be left this way indefinitely.
12. Heat Press Roll Pressure: 40% maximum.
13. Speed: 1-4 fpm (30-90 cpm).
14. Upper Heat Press Roll Heat: 395 °F (200 °C) max-
imum.
