Safety Statements
The SEAL 44 Ultra laminator has been designed with operator safety as a primary objective; however,
operators must be familiar with the controls, as well as the operation before using the unit.
The electrical and drive-system components are isolated from contact with the operator by enclosing
them within plastic end covers that are bolted on. Only qualified service technicians should remove
these protective covers after power to the machine is removed including disconnecting the power
cord.
Only qualified service technicians should remove covers for service purposes
Safety Features
The heating system is provided with an over-temperature device, which will shut off the top roller-
heating element once a heating system failure occurs.
The rotation of the rollers will be switched off automatically when the light beam of the self-checking
photoelectric guard is interrupted. For example, if a panel is too thick relative to the roller nip setting,
or if a person’s hands or fingers approach the roller nip.
Once the roller rotation has been stopped and the photoelectric guard has been cleared, a deliberate
start signal has to be given in order to start the roller rotation again.
The machine has two emergency stop buttons that may be pressed in dangerous situations. The
rotation of the rollers will be stopped immediately. After releasing these buttons, a deliberate start
signal has to be given in order to start the roller rotation again.
General Hazards
Danger of getting injured by hot parts
Be careful with parts marked with this symbol, to avoid burns. The heated top roller may
have a surface temperature of 135°C (275°F).
Do not touch the roller. Even after the machine has been switched off, the roller remains
hot for a long time.
Danger of getting injured by rotating parts
Everyone working around the laminator must avoid wearing loose fitting clothing (ties!) or
dangling jewelry, which could catch in the laminator rollers.
Failure to use caution near exposed rollers could result in physical injury.

Theory of Operation
3 Theory of Operation
3-1 Control Knob
The Control Knob (see figure 1) is located on the
right hand side of the laminator and is operated
from the front of the machine.
The Control Knob can be operated by pushing it in
approximately 6mm (1/4”) to the left. Once the
knob has disengaged from the stop, it may be
rotated forward or backward (clockwise or counter-
clockwise, viewed from the right hand side of the
unit).
Continue to rotate the knob until the desired nip
setting corresponds with the indicator window at
the base of the knob. Inside the window, the
possible rotation directions are shown. Select the
fig. 1
value that corresponds to the thickness of the material you will be using with the machine.
Releasing the knob so that it moves back to the right and clicks into place will set the rollers for use.
Select the next lower value in case there is no match for the thickness of the used
substrate.
Internal functionality
See figure 2.
5
Inside the machine, a rod is mounted
1
2
between the left- and right-hand framesheets.
The knob is mounted on the rod; it allows
axial movement, but no radial movement.
The knob is provided with a pin (1), that falls
in the indents (2) of a bracket (3). The same
rod is provided with an eccentric (4) on either
side of the machine. These eccentrics push
or pull the arms (5), where the top roller is
mounted in, upward or downward.

3
fig. 2
3-2 Roller Nip settings
Whenever you mount onto a board, etc., it is important to adjust the rollers to create a gap nearly
equal to the thickness of the board being used. This is done so that anything passing between the
rollers will receive the right amount of pressure and prevent damage to the rubber surface of the roller
(and possibly the board).

Theory of Operation
3-4 Motor Control
The speed of the rollers is continuously adjustable between 0 and 1.5 m/min. (0 and 4.9 ft/min.)
Pressing the ꢀ key runs the rollers in forward direction, pressing the ꢁ key reverses the direction of
the rollers (as long as this button is pressed). The stop key stops the roller movement.
Slow-mode
The machine has a so-called slow-mode, which can be activated by pressing the foot switch. To
maintain slow-mode, keep the foot switch pressed.
Once the machine is running in slow-mode, interrupting the Photoelectric Cells does
NOT stop the machine; an audible beep will be heard, and the roller speed will be 0.6
m/min (2”/min) only. Releasing the foot switch will stop the machine.
Changing from slow-mode to normal running mode without stopping (to prevent stop
marks on the substrate):
•
During slow mode (keep the foot switch pressed), press the ꢀ (forward) button on the control
panel. The machine will run at its pre-set speed.
Next, release the foot switch.
•
•
Finally, release the ꢀ (forward) button.
Changing from normal mode to slow-mode without stopping:
Press the foot switch
NOTE: Releasing the foot switch will stop the machine.
Reversing the machine
To reverse the rotation of the rollers, press the ꢁ (reverse) button. As long as this button is pressed,
the machine will run in reverse direction, at a speed of 0.6 m/min (2”/min) only. Releasing this button
will stop the machine.
Care must be taken not to have loose clothing, long hair, jewelry and fingers pinched
between the pull rollers at the rear side of the machine.
The rotation of the rollers will stop when:
•
The Photoelectric Cells in front of the main rollers are interrupted
NOTE: This does NOT happen when the foot switch is used (slow-mode)
An emergency stop button is pressed
The foot switch is pressed for a short moment
Excessive unwind tensions are set (the motor will be shut off electronically, press
the stop button on the control panel to reset)
•
•
•
•
The stop button on the control panel is pressed

Theory of Operation
3-5 Unwind Brakes
Tighten the unwind brake so that it applies sufficient tension to laminate. Turning the knurled collar in
a clockwise direction increases the unwind tension applied to the laminate. Turning the collar counter-
clockwise decreases the tension. The best setting for the brake tension is determined by the materials
you are using and is learned through experience.
Note: In general, no or light unwind tensions will be required.

The heating element can now be taken out of
the roller.
When a heating element has to
be installed into the roller, the
quartz tube has to be cleaned
first.
fig. 11
Proceed as follows:
Insert the heating element, with the end having the shortest wire, into the roller core. Make sure,
that the short wire is bent straight, to smoothen the insertion.
Whilst inserting, clean the quartz tube with a lint-free cloth, lightly dampened with IPA (Isopropanol).
Do not touch the quartz tube with your fingers!
This is important, because fingerprints will burn when the heater is on, and can possibly damage the
quartz tube. See figure 12.
Always be very careful when using IPA! IPA is very flammable!
The flash point of IPA is 11°C (51.8°F). The self-ignition temperature is 400°C
(752°F).

5 Adjustment Procedures
5-1 Laminating Pressure
Note:
To perform the following adjustments, it is necessary to remove both plastic side covers first.
See Section 4-1: Disassembly / Reassembly Plastic Side Covers.
There are two ways to adjust the laminating pressure:
1. Adjustment using load cells and display unit.
2. Adjustment using Heat Sensitive Film (JetGuard 5mil or Thermashield 5mil).
This procedure is preferred if the adjustment has to be done in the field, at the site of
the end-user.
Both ways need the following necessary tools: 10mm open-ended spanner, small flat-head
screwdriver, Allen key 3 mm.
Approximate time: 15 minutes.
5-1-1
Adjustment using Load Cells and Display Unit
To adjust or set the laminating pressure, a
Pressure Display Unit is required. These units
come in various sizes and/or shapes; however, the
load cells typically look like figure 21.
The top roller must be at room
temperature!
Proceed as follows:
1. Set the nip setting knob to 10 mm (3/8”).
2. Remove the support brackets for the Image
Guide (see figure 22, the RH bracket is shown
here). The two bolts that have to be removed in
order to remove the RH bracket, are shown in
fig. 21
figure 23 (in later versions of the machine the way these bolts and nuts are mounted, is reversed).
3. Loosen the adjustment strip on either side of the machine. See figure 23, right-hand strip shown.
Note that the strips must not touch the top roller bearing housing during the pressure adjustment
procedure.

4. Position the load cells at either side of the rollers, between the journals, as shown in figure 24.
fig. 24
fig. 25
5. Push and rotate the nip adjustment knob until the pin, mounted in the knob, falls into the last notch
(relative to top) from the indent bracket (see figure 25, white arrow).
The pressure will be applied to the pressure sensors, and the pressure can be read on the PDU.
6. To change the pressure, place the 10mm
open-ended spanner on the M6 nut, that is
directly under the compression spring (so, the
upper jamnut, see figure 26, white arrow).
7. On the left-hand side of the machine, it is best
to remove the blue connector from the
overtemperature switch, to ease access with
the spanner. See figure 10, arrow #1.
8. Rotate clockwise to decrease the pressure,
counter-clockwise to increase the pressure
(seen from top).
fig. 26
9. The pressure readout for each load cell (so, for
either side of the machine) should be 55 kgf (121 lbf). If necessary, change these values as
described above.
10. After the adjustment, remove the pressure sensors.
11. Assemble all parts in reverse order.
Now, it is mandatory to continue with the Image Guide Adjustment procedure,

Adjustment Procedures
5-1-2
Adjustment using Heat Sensitive Film
This procedure refers to the pressure adjustment to be done at the customer’s site.
Note: as this procedure is performed using heat sensitive film (JetGuard 5 mil or
Thermashield 5 mil), the top roller temperature should be set to 120°C (250ºF).
1. Remove any film from the machine.
2. Remove the Image Guide.
3. Cut several sheets of film from the supplyroll. The offcut size should be 43’’ by 8’’ (so it’s easy if
43’’ film is used).
4. Set the nip to its maximum position (10mm or
3/8’’).
5. Place two sheets, with their adhesive sides
facing each other, between the rollers, as
shown in figure 27.
43’’
6. Close the nip, and wait 30 seconds.
7. Open the nip to its maximum position, and
remove the sheets. Now, they’re stuck
together. Mark the sheets (using a felt tip
pen) how its position was, relative to the
machine.
fig. 27
A small part of the sheets is
shown in figure 28. The
footprint (the area where the
rollers touch each other) is
very clearly visible, and it
has roughly a width of
1

If the roll pressure is too high, then the footprint looks like:
This is the case if the ends of the footprint (measured 1’’ from either side) are at least 1mm (0.04’’)
wider than the middle.
Change the pressure as described below.
If the roll pressure is too low, then the footprint looks like:
This is the case if the ends of the footprint (measured 1’’ from either side) are at least 1mm (0.04’’)
smaller than the middle.
Change the pressure as described below.
If the footprint is narrower (or wider) at one end, and the other
end has the same width as the middle of the footprint, then the
pressure at only that narrower (or wider) end of the machine
or
should be increased (or decreased).
In general: for either side of the machine counts:
end narrower than the middle ꢀ increase pressure at that end
end wider than the middle ꢀ decrease pressure at that end
Changing the pressure
8. To change the pressure, place the 10mm
open-ended spanner on the M6 nut, that is
directly under the compression spring (so, the
upper jamnut, see figure 29, white arrow).
9. Rotate clockwise to decrease the pressure,
counter-clockwise to increase the pressure
(seen from top).
Rotate the jamnut only half a turn on either
side
10. Make a new footprint (go back to step 5)

5-3 Temperature
Necessary tools: Infrared temperature meter, small flat-head screwdriver.
Approximate time: 30 - 45 minutes.
1. Set the roller nip to 10mm (3/8’’).
2. Set the top roller temperature to the 120°C setting on the control panel; the roller is being heated
up.
3. After approx. 5 minutes, turn the top roller
roughly a quarter of a turn, and repeat this
every 2 minutes, until the green LED, next to
the 120°C setting, is steady.
4. Measure the temperature on top of the roller,
close to the middle of the machine. See figure
32, white arrow.
Turn the top roller by hand until you see a
more or less constant value in the read-out of
the temperature meter.
The temperature should be 135°C +/- 4° C
(275°F +/- 7°F).
fig. 32
5. To change the temperature setting, insert the
screwdriver into the small hole situated in the rear panel. Carefully turn the screwdriver until you
feel that it snaps into the slot in the potentiometer.
See the arrow in figure 33.
6. Rotating clockwise increases the temperature,
counter clockwise rotation will decrease the
temperature.
A five-degree turn of the trimpot will change
the temperature by approximately 10°C
(18°F).
7. After the adjustment, allow the roller to change
its temperature for some 15 minutes, and
repeat the sequence at point 4.

Adjustment Procedures
5-4 Photoelectric Cells
Note: to perform the following adjustments, it is necessary to remove both plastic side covers first. See
section 4-1: Disassembly/Reassembly Plastic Side Covers.
Necessary tools: small flat-head screwdriver.
The Photoelectric Cells are mounted on the arm assemblies of the upper roller. Viewed from the front-
side of the machine, the transmitter is mounted at the left-hand side and the reciever is mounted at the
right-hand side of the machine.
1. Switch the machine on.
Caution! The electric parts of the machine are now live. From now on, do not touch any electrical
components. Do not place fingers between the chain or other moving parts.
2. See figure 34, white arrow. Make sure, that
the slit in the mode selector is pointing to the
‘D’ position (the setscrew is rotated fully
counter-clockwise).
3. See figure 35. Rotate the setscrew in the
transmitter (at the left-hand side of the
machine) fully counter-clockwise. The
transmitter will now emit very little light.
As a result of this, on the receiver (figure 34)
the red LED will be lit (meaning: there’s no
signal), and the green LED will be lit as well
(meaning: the ‘no-light’ situation is stable)
fig. 34
4. Now rotate the setscrew on the transmitter
very slowly clockwise until the the green LED
on the reciever starts to fade out, next rotate a
bit further clockwise until the red LED goes
out, and finally rotate a bit further clockwise
until the green LED is just fully lit (which is
only a few degrees more!).
Note that the red LED gives a faint flash every
two seconds: this is the self-check sequence.
The Photoelectric Cells are now correctly adjusted.

Replace the plactic covers.
5-6 Clutch
Necessary tools: open-ended spanner 19mm.
Approximate time: 15 minutes.
Note: to perform the following adjustments, it is necessary to remove the right-hand side cover first.
See section 4-1: Disassembly / Reassembly Plastic Side Covers.
To ensure that the film is not slipping between the pull rollers, yet receiving sufficient tension, the
clutch has to be adjusted properly.
Proceed as follows:
1. Set the machine up for encapsulation using JetGuard 5mil gloss or Thermashield 5mil gloss. Run
the process at 120°C setting, whereas the speed setting should be 2 (which is lower than the
values on the Process Control sticker!). Don’t process any images.
2. While the machine is running, turn the large nut (see figure 36, arrow 3) clockwise, until the friction
discs (arrows 4) are NOT moving in respect of each other. The film, running through the pull
rollers, may create a squeeking noise now.
3. Next, turn the large nut slowly anti-clockwise, just until the discs start moving in respect of each
other again. Continue running the encapsulation process for two minutes to ensure that this
situation is stable.
Replace the plactic covers.

6 Maintenance
Cleaning of the Machine
The equipment must be disconnected from the mains before cleaning.
The laminator may be cleaned by the operator with a lint-free cloth, lightly dampened with a mild soap
and water solution. Spray-on cleaners are not to be used. No part of the machine is to be immersed in
water or other liquids.
Do not use an abrasive cleaner, which can damage the painted surfaces.
Do not allow water or liquids to enter the electrical circuits, which may cause personal injury and / or
damage the equipment when power is applied.
Roller cleaning
To clean the rollers: use the Image roll-cleaner to remove the excess adhesive from the rollers. This is
done best while the rollers are hot.
When cleaning the upper roller, place a piece of scrap foam board under the roller
to prevent the removed adhesive remnants from falling onto the lower roller.
For adhesive that is difficult to remove, allow the rollers to cool and use isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and a
clean, lint-free cloth. Never pour isopropyl alcohol (IPA) directly onto the unit.
CAUTION! Always use care when using Isopropyl Alcohol! (IPA)
IPA is very flammable. The flash point of IPA is 11°C (51.8°F). The self-ignition
temperature is 400°C (752°F)
Unwind Shafts
Clean the rubber ropes at least once a week.
If a rubber rope becomes too slack after a longer period of time, unscrew one of the clamps, cut off
1cm (0.5’’) of the rope, and fasten it again using the clamp.

Troubleshooting
Problem:
The power LED does come on, but it is flashing at a low rate. This is an error-condition.
Cause:
The supply voltage is too low.
Problems like these occur usually if extension cords are used; in particular extension cords, that
have a (too) low rating. When the heater of the machine is switched on, the voltage usually
drops.
Solution:
Do not use extension cords.
Check if the power supply of the office/building, where the 44 Ultra is used,
supplies enough voltage to power the machine.
For the 110V unit, the supply voltage should lie between 90V and 130V.
For the 230V unit, the supply voltage should lie between 200V and 250V.
Problem:
The power LED does come on, but it is flashing at a high rate. This is an error-condition.
Cause:
The supply voltage is too high.
Solution:
It’s not likely that this error will occur; however, you should check the rating
label. If this is a 110V unit that’s attached to a 230V supply, the F1 and/or
the F2 fuse should blow.
For the 110V unit, the supply voltage should lie between 90V and 130V.
For the 230V unit, the supply voltage should lie between 200V and 250V.
Problem:
The LED for the Photoelectric Cells on the control panel does not come on; the machine does not run
