Double-Sided Lamination; Decaling; Unloading - SEAL 62S Manuel D'utilisation

Using carrier boards
• Web the upper section of the machine as described above (section 5.4.1)
• Put the image on a carrier board with the image side up and follow the steps for pre-
coating a board (section 5.5.2).
Using release liner
• Use a roll of release liner in the lower section.
• Web the upper and lower section of the machine as described above (section 5.4.2).
When the images are cut from the result, the release liner will separate from the image
automatically.
5.5.5

Double-sided lamination

Encapsulating images with cold laminates is called double-sided lamination (and is
normally not done with panels).
1. Load and web laminating films in the upper and the lower section as described in
section 5.4.2.
2. When the leader panel is completely out of the nip, lower the upper roller onto the
bottom roller (nip setting = 0) and set the pressure to approximately 80%.
3. Now feed the images into the nip, allowing a gap between them.
4. Cut the result with a blade cutter when the images are clear of the rollers.
5.5.6

Decaling

When decaling, a laminate is put over the image side and an adhesive backing is put on
the backside of the image.
The process is the same as double-sided lamination (section 5.5.5).
1. Load and web laminating films in the upper and the lower section as described in
section 5.4.2.
2. When the leader panel is completely out of the nip, lower the upper roller onto the
bottom roller (nip setting = 0) and set the pressure to approximately 80%.
3. Now feed the images into the nip, allowing a gap between them.
4. Cut the result with a blade cutter when the images are clear of the rollers.
This decal can later be mounted onto a panel or other substrate.
5.6

Unloading

To unload the machine:
1. Cut the result after the last image (panel before the leader panel).
2. Cut both films along the splitter bar using a blade cutter.
3. Open up the nip and remove the (leader panel and) films from the rollers at the rear.
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.
