Safety devices
The machine is equipped with the following safety devices:
• right cover housing
• left cover housing
• finger protection bar
• emergency stop switch left
• right hand circuit breaker
When operating the machine, make sure that your hands do not come between the rollers. The EMBLEM EASYLAM
160TW is equipped with a finger protection. This is to prevent that parts of the body or foreign objects get between
the rollers. The manufacturer does not take any responsibility if the operator of the machine has made any structural
or electrical modifications to these protective devices. The side panels, which protect the electrical equipment, may
only be removed by qualified personnel or by personnel authorised by the manufacturer.
Operating the machine
The operator stands in front of the machine when work starts. The machine is switched on via the main switch
(inside right below). The switch lights up green. Above the keypad with LED display you will find another switch for
switching the machine on and off.
General information
The material axles (R1 - R4) are equipped with adjustable brakes and slip clutches. Each
material has its own characteristics, which may vary depending on temperature, humidity,
adhesive used, type of film, etc. The ideal working condition is one in which the material is
tensioned on the top roller and guided and applied without wrinkles with minimal braking.
The search for this „ideal setting“ starts by looking for the point where the braking unit only
works lightly, and then gradually increases in strength as required. Care must be taken not
to stretch the film too much to prevent it from being stretched initially and then distorting the
laminated product. If the protective liner has to be rolled up, it is sufficient to apply a slight
tension. Therefore, make sure that the roll-up clutch is carefully adjusted.
The machine may only be operated by qualified personnel. For the correct adjustment of the press proof you can
either use the preset functions „
Close Warm
“ or „
Close Cold
“, or set the pressure manually using the „
arrow up
“
/ „
arrow down
“ keys. Film or paper are often laminated with maximum pressure (manual setting). But also here the
optimal pressure must be „tested“, in order to avoid wrinkles forming between adhesive film and paper.
• The machine is equipped with an automatic safety switch to prevent the roller pressure from being exceeded.
• In order to find out the optimum pressure, it is recommended to first carry out a test with a sample print.
To avoid tensions and jerks, the material to be processed should be centred, i.e. inserted with equal distance to
both sides, even with smaller formats. When laminating, it is important that the laminate is adjusted to the image
dimensions and does not protrude too far beyond the format, otherwise it will stick to the roller.
The difference in size between the laminate and the paper should be kept as small as possible (no more than 2 -
3 cm per side) to avoid wrinkles.
