Placing Film Rolls; Auto-Grip Shafts - SEAL 62Base Manuel D'utilisation

5.3

Placing film rolls

This section describes the loading of the machine with laminating or mounting films.
The films are loaded onto the shafts at the rear side of the machine.
Note:
Always work in the center of the machine.
Select films that are slightly wider than the print width of the image. This way the print can be
trimmed with a border, but waste is reduced.

5.3.1 Auto-grip shafts

Both shafts in the rear of the machine are the same. The shafts fit into the machine in both ways.
On the control panel side of the machine all the shafts and the supports snap together.
A spring inside the left-hand side support pushes the shaft into locking position when the shaft is
turned. To position the shaft correctly turn the shaft until it locks in.
Check the auto-grip mechanism on each shaft. The rubber cords should just not touch the edges of
the recess (Figure 9A: d = 8 ± 2.5 mm =
If not, see chapter 6 Maintenance.
Figure 9: Auto-grip shaft
When the shaft is rotated inside a cylinder, the rubber cord will move to the side and gets caught
between shaft and cylinder (Figure 9B). Rotating back will release the cord.
Auto-grip shaft lock.
To prevent the auto-grip shaft from jumping out of its support, a locking plate is installed on the left
hand support. To take out the auto-grip shaft:
Figure 10: Auto-grip locking bracket.
1.
Move the locking plate (C) with your right hand at (A) in the upper position
((B) is above the shaft).
2.
Push the shaft with your left hand, to the right against the spring and remove it from the
support at your left-hand side.
3.
Now with both hands take out the shaft.
