As a result, we are providing these instructions so that you can insure that your new Explorer 107 Laminator is properly and securely unpacked, moved, and installed. Before an Explorer 107 Laminator can be installed, there are a few requirements that must be met. Make certain that each of the requirements listed in the following pre-installation checklist are met before beginning installation. Installation Is the environment appropriate for the laminator? The laminator requires a clean, dust and vapor free environment to operate properly. It must not be located where there is air blowing directly on the machine. Have you contacted a certified electrician to install a receptacle for the laminator and ensure that adequate power is being supplied, having the appropriate capacity, over current protection and safety lockouts are available. WARNING CAUTION Failure to follow the pre-installation check list can result in damage to the laminator. The operating environment must be free of dust, flammable liquids and vapors. You can be injured by inhaling chemical vapors. 4.1 Pre-installation WARNING Are doorways and hallways wide eneough for the laminator to be moved to the installation site? Vapor build up or stored flammable liquids can cause a fire. Excessive dust can damage the laminator. Is there ample room for the laminator? CAUTION A work area must be established that allows for unrestricted movement around the laminator and provides space for efficient material flow. Figure 4.1.3 illustrates a typical machine area layout. © GBC Pro - Tech December 1999 Do not locate the laminator where air is blowing directly on the machine. The air flow can cool the rollers unevenly and result in poor quality output. Page 4 - 1 Installation Explorer 107 Operation and Maintenance Manual The laminator requires 220 to 240 vac, 50/60 Hz, 30 amps, Single Phase. Figure 4.1.1 Plug WARNING The Explorer 107 Laminator is a large and heavy piece of equipment. It is necessary to employ LICENSED RIGGERS ONLY to move the laminator. The laminator is not designed to be tipped up or sideways in any way. Such action disturbs the exact alignment of the rolling parts of the machine and requires extensive realignment. You can be crushed or seriously injured.

INFORMATION Troubleshooting Bond strength Refers to one of three conditions; 1) the anchor strength of adhesive to laminate substrate, 2) the anchor strength of the laminating film to the product that has been laminated, or 3) when two layers of film are laminated together, the strength of the adhesive to adhesive bond. Rollers only turn in reverse while depressing REVERSE . Curling j) Thread the film as described in Section 6 Application. A term used to describe an image rolling up on itself. This is caused by differences in the brake tension used between the upper and lower laminates during and application process. D waves A term used to describe a wave pattern caused, generally, by incorrect roller tension. 7.4 Glossary Delamination The glossary can help you understand some of the terminology used when referring to the laminator, applications, or troubleshooting aspects of the machine. Refers to either one of two conditions; 1) the adhesive separating from the laminate substrate, or 2) the laminate separating from the product being laminated. Blistering Dwell time A condition where the paper coating is bubbled up from the image paper causing a “blister”. It is created by using excessive heat during the lamination process. Blistering is most commonly found with photographic and ink jet media. © GBC Pro - Tech December 1999 Dwell time is controlled by the speed of the motor and is defined as the amount of time the film is in contact with the heat rollers. Page 7 - 7 Troubleshooting Explorer 107 Operation and Maintenance Manual Encapsulation Heat platens When an image is completely encased in laminating film, it is encapsulated. The heating component between the nip roller and the Teflon roller. This is also known as a heat shoe. Film Pull rollers A two part material consisting of an adhesive layer and a substrate. The adhesive and the substrate may or may not be clear. This is the material used for lamination. Please refer to laminate. These rollers are used to pull the web through the laminator. Tensioning of the laminated media helps to make it flat and smooth. Laminate Scarring A two part material consisting of an adhesive layer and a substrate. The adhesive and the substrate may or may not be clear. This is the material used for lamination. The visual effect of folding papers or laminates and breaking the surface. When done to a printed material it will be seen as a white crack in the image. Main rollers The main rollers are the laminators primary source Silvering of heat. Media Term used to describe the materials used to print an image, i.e. papers A term used to describe one of two occurrences; 1) air bubbles trapped between the product and a thermal laminate, generally caused by insufficient heat being applied to the film. 2) Film used does not have eneough adhesive for the product being laminated. 3) Excessive amount of Offset powder on the prints. Nip Web The point at which the top and bottom rollers make contact. The material from a supply roll going through the laminator.
