4.3.4 Presetting the tension
To enable the film to unwind without wrinkles a momentum
(brake or tension) can be set to the roll.
On the right-hand side of the machine you will find tension
control knobs, corresponding with each shaft.
Turn the tension control knob counter clockwise to release the
brake.
When the film is webbed, it is recommended to set a mild
tension to each shaft by turning the knob clockwise until you
feel some resistance.
On the unwind shaft this will prevent film to unwind without
tension. On the motor-driven wind-up shaft it allows the shaft
to slip and adapt its rotation speed to the speed of the film.
4.3.5 Pressure setting
CAUTION:
Remove the pressure and open the nip, to avoid
flattening of the rollers when standing still for a
longer period.
Thin images
When processing thin images (thickness less than the film)
pressure is preset when the upper and lower material is
webbed.
During processing the pressure can be adjusted. The best
pressure setting for thin films is about 40% on the 1100N and
1600N and about 80% on the TH2000N.
Panels
When processing panels, a leader panel is used to preset the
pressure.
Use a leader panel of the same material, thickness and width
as the panels to process.
1. Set the nip to the thickness of the panel.
2. Feed the panel in the nip in slow mode.
3. Set the pressure to approximately 40%.
For the HotLam TH2000N
3. Set the pressure to approximately 80% for full-width
panels.
CAUTION:
For narrower panels set the pressure proportional
to the width between 40% and 80%.
E.g. half width equals 60%.
4. Push the reverse button to run the panel back through the
machine.
