3. Simple and reliable operability when using by one operator
Operation speed of lamination is max. 7,500mm/min. and steplessly adjustable by dial. The temperature of warming function can be set to suit media up to 60 degree by every one degree from the operation panel and the laminating pressure is easily modified by handle. The take-up function of laminated print is added to be able to use by operator alone.
4. Safety design for the operator protection
Two safety functions are featured : an emergency stop and a protection by laser preventing rolling-in trouble. The safety functions to support the safer working environment to protect operator from an accident of rolling-in.
