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.
