The Ledco Digital Series Laminators

 

 

 

Digital 42 , 44 & 60 Laminators
User-Friendly Big Format Laminating and Mounting

 

These 42 and 60-inch wide machines were the first designed exclusively for the owners of 36 and 50 inch inkjet printers. They do all the finishing tasks required of a large format imaging shop - laminating one side or two, encapsulating, mounting with heat activated (dry mount) or cold pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA), simultaneous mounting and laminating, and application of cold adhesives.

These machines were made to be very easy to use, incorporating many of the glitch-proof features we developed over 40 years of making laminators for schools and commercial finishing shops. These units will laminate one item, then mount and laminate the next in one pass on mounting board up to 1/2 inch thick. No setup change is needed. In fact, you can laminate one item, then mount and laminate the next in one pass without even stopping the machine.

With a top speed of 30 FPM and a sustainable laminating speed of 10 FPM with 5-mil film, the Ledco Digitals are much faster than the other machines made for big format color applications. An optional release liner takeup allows the Digital 42 & Digital 60 to apply cold laminating films, vinyls and other PSA materials needing removal of a liner.

Standard features on both machines include variable speed, independent top and bottom heat control, spacious feed tray, powerful film cooling system, and swing-away heating units for cold applications and easy cleaning of the rollers.

Ledco's new patented ThermoGlide TM option is available on both units.

ThermoGlide TM combines the best features of hot shoes and hot rollers to produce the next generation of thermal laminating technology.

Ledco is known for making machines that are very reliable, easy to use, and inexpensive to maintain. These units maintain that reputation. They come with a one-year factory warranty.

They are shipped fully assembled with a helpful operator's manual and a 90-minute instructional videotape. Ledco provides a toll-free help line to back up the training and support required of its dealers. Customers are encouraged to call so that small problems do not become big ones.

Standard Features and Benefits

  • Quality Silicone Rubber Laminating Rollers - release materials easily and maintain their flexibility for a good edge seal.
  • Interchangeable Laminating Rolls - Allow the laminating rolls to be replaced with the pull rolls. If the heated rubber rolls found on competitive laminators become nicked, they require a costly replacement and down time.
  • Supply Roll Tension - is easy to adjust by simply tightening or loosening the tension control knobs on the supply roll mandrels.
  • Variable Speed - allows thinner films to be run faster, and enables mounting or the use of thicker films, which require slower speeds.
  • Independent Temperature Controls - for top and bottom heaters allow the use of different materials on front and back of an image.
  • Large Feed Tray - makes it easier to handle big graphics. The pressure strip next to the nip helps keep images flat and wrinkle-free.
  • Swing Away Heaters - make it very easy to clean the laminating rollers and simplify the use of many cold materials.
  • Made In the USA - All parts, including motors and controls, are made here as well


Options

Roll Feed Assembly - The lamination of long images or rolls of images is simplified by a roll feed process. It is difficult to keep long graphics going straight if they are fed from a table. Rolling the material up on an empty core and feeding from a tensioned supply roll with and idler bar insures the material will stay flat and straight from beginning to end.
