Laminator

2004-11-17 by mikezcnc

As you know I am very happy with a GBC H200 laminator but I decided 
to try a laser printer fuser. OK, it heats up, I turned it on thru a 
dimmer and demonstrated that it will heat up indeed. Then of course 
it needs to be mounted and a belt drive needs to be installed. 
Overall it's quite a bit of work to roll the forst TT PCBs.

Then I happened to come accross a GBC laminator, one of those larger 
units, probably commercial, from 20 years ago- it uses rolls of 
plastic for laminating. I tried a quick lamination and it runs really 
nicely, requires no modification and the temp can be adjusted by 
changing the pot setting on the sensots touching the rollers.

If you see a larger laminator that can be a nice PCB laminating 
unit.  Mike

PS Steve, you're right. I better keep that fabulous Nuarc 26k uv 
exposure unit.
