ORCA-I SP Operation Manual Safety
© GBC Pro-Tech 1998 April 1-1
6HFWLRQ   6DIHW\
Your safety, as well as the safety of others, is important
to GBC Pro-Tech. This section contains important
safety information.
The following symbols are used throughout this man-
ual to indicate warnings and cautions.
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
The ORCA-I SP Laminator has been designed with
safety as a primary consideration; however, you must
become thoroughly familiar with the controls, proper
operation, proper service procedures, and safety fea-
tures of the laminator before using or servicing the unit.
GBC Pro-Tech laminators are powerful machines that
are designed to mount, laminate and encapsulate. The
forces required to accomplish these tasks can vary from
negligible to very large.
The air-cylinder system used to provide downward
pressure on the top roll is capable of producing forces
greater than 1000 pounds (454kg). This force is applied
to any object presented in the opening (called the nip)
between the two rolls.
Use care in lowering the top laminating roll and know
how to react quickly in an emergency. the laminaotr
roll UP-DOWN switch is located on the instrument
panel labeled Laminator Roll Controls on the upper
right side of the machine. This switch controls the up
and down motion of the top laminator roll. Before turn-
ing theis switch to the DOWN position, ensure that
nothing is in the nip area.
In addition, the laminating rolls of the ORCA-I SP can
reach temperatures of over 200°F (100°C). At these
temperatures there is a danger of a severe burn if the
rolls are touched during set-up, operation or servicing.
An important feature of the laminator is the photoelec-
tric eye system that stops the machine when objects
move into the nip area. Once the blocking object is
removed and the light beam reestablished, the rolls
resume turning. However, this system is overridden if
you use the footswitch.
WARNING
The ORCA-I SP Laminator has a steel cabinet that is
bolted closed to isolate the electrical and drive system
components for the safety of the operator. Only a quali-
fied service technician should open these cabinets.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE YOUR
ORCA-I SP LAMINATOR UNTIL YOU HAVE
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY!
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in minor or
moderate injury, or alerts against unsafe
practices, or alerts against actions which could
damage the product.
Use extreme caution when operating the
laminator with the footswitch. The photoelectric
eye system is overridden and your fingers can get
caught in the nip. You can be crushed or burned.

Safety ORCA-I SP Operation Manual
1-2 © GBC Pro-Tech 1998 April
The laminator is equipped with two emergency stop
buttons located on the top of either side of the lamina-
tor. Either of these, if engaged, stops the laminator and
raises both the main roll and pull roll. To continue
operation, return both emergency stop buttons to the up
position and turn the main roll UP-DOWN switch to
the UP position to reset the laminator. The laminator
roll UP-DOWN switch is located on the instrument
panel labeled Laminator Roll Controls on the upper
right side of the machine. This switch controls the up
and down motion of the top laminator roll. Before turn-
ing this switch to the DOWN position, ensure that
nothing is in the nip area.
Figure 1-1: Using the Emergency Stop Buttons
In addition, the ORCA-I SP is equipped with two emer-
gency stop kick cables located at the lower front and
back of the laminator. Either of these, if stepped on or
kicked, stops the laminator and raises the rolls. To con-
tinue operation, turn the main roll UP-DOWN switch
to the UP position to reset the laminator. Before turning
this switch to the DOWN position, ensure that nothing
is in the nip area.

ing or servicing the unit. READ THE FOLLOWING
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS BEFORE YOU
ATTEMPT TO OPERATE OR SERVICE THE
ORCA-I SP LAMINATOR.
DANGER
DANGER
DANGER
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
Never place fingers or arms between the rolls
when they are turning or when the rolls are in
the closed position. You can be crushed or
burned.
Secure long hair so that it cannot get caught in
the machinery. Do not wear ties, loose fitting
clothing or dangling jewelry while operating or
servicing the laminator. These items can get
caught in the nip, and choke you or you can be
crushed or burned.
Remove power from the laminator before
servicing. You can be severly shocked,
electrocuted or cause a fire.
Do not attempt to move the laminator across
anything other than a flat, level surface without
trained and qualified riggers. You can be crushed
or seriously injured.
The ORCA-I SP Laminator is a large and heavy
piece of equipment. It is necessary to employ
LICENSED RIGGERS ONLY to move the
machine. The laminator is not designed to be
tipped up or sideways in any way. Such action
disturbs the exact alignment of the rolling parts
of the machine and requires extensive
realignment. GBC Pro-Tech’s warranty does not
cover malfunction of the equipment due to
mishandling and/or tipping.
GBC Pro-Tech bears no responsibility for
personal injury or damage due to moving the

WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
Do not operate the laminator if the power cord is
damaged or frayed. You can be severely shocked,
electrocuted or cause a fire. Contact a qualified
electrician to replace the cord.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord.
Do not locate the cord where people can walk on
it. You or others can be severely shocked,
electrocuted or cause a fire.
The operating environment must be free of dust,
flammable liquids and vapors. You can be
injured by inhaling chemical vapors. Vapor build
up or stored flammable liquids can cause a fire.
Excessive dust can damage the laminator.
If the air supply pressure exceeds the typical 100
psi (700 kPa) and is less than 120 psi (825 kPa),
the pressure booster on the ORCA-I SP must be
adjusted to avoid damage to the machine and
possible injury to service technicians. During this
adjustment, do not allow the main roll pressure
gauge to exceed 150 psi (1030 kPa) at any point.
Main roll pressures over 150 psi can damage the
electric air valves.
Do not exceed 120 psi (825 kPa) for the incoming
air pressure.
Use extreme caution when operating the
laminator with the footswitch. The photoelectric
eye system is overridden and your fingers can get
caught in the nip. You can be crushed or burned.
Always use care in lowering the top laminating
roll. You can be crushed or burned.
The blades in the slitters are razor sharp.
You can cut yourself severely.
Never insert objects of any kind through any of
the slots on the laminator. You can touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts. You

Posted at various locations on your ORCA-I SP Lami-
nator are important safety labels. PAY CAREFUL
ATTENTION TO THESE LABELS AT ALL TIMES!
Figure 1-3 shows the location of each of these labels.
Exercise care when cleaning the rolls with
80% isopropyl alcohol:
•Use only in a well ventilated area.
•Wear rubber gloves.
•Use only on cool rolls.
Cleaning heated rolls can ignite the
fumes.
Use only 80% isopropyl alcohol or a rubber
cement eraser to clean the laminating rolls.
Harsh chemicals like toluene, acetone or MEK
destroy the rolls' silicone covering.
Raise the upper main roll when the laminator is
not in operation. Prolonged contact can damage
the rolls.
Excess pressure can damage the laminating rolls.
Always select the minimum roll pressure
necessary to complete the task.
If silicone adhesive contacts the upper or lower
roll, remove it IMMEDIATELY using 80%
isopropyl alcohol. It can harden within an hour
and ruin the roll.
Do not use a knife or other sharp instrument
during installation or while servicing the
laminator. You can cause irreparable damage to
the rolls.
Do not block infrared temperature sensors. Main
rolls could be damaged from overheating.

ORCA-I SP Operation Manual Installation
© GBC Pro-Tech 1998 April 2-1
6HFWLRQ  ,QVWDOODWLRQ
Before an ORCA-I SP Laminator can be installed there
are a few requirements that must be met. Make certain
that each of the requirements listed in the following
preinstallation checklist are met before beginning
installation.
CAUTION
3UHLQVWDOODWLRQ &KHFNOLVW
❏Are doorways and hallways wide enough for the
laminator to be moved to the installation site?
❏Is there ample room for the laminator?
A work area must be established that allows for
operation in both the front and the rear of the
machine and provides space for efficient material
flow. Figure 2-1 shows a typical machine area lay-
out.
❏Is the environment appropriate for the laminator?
The laminator requires a clean, dust and vapor free
office environment to operate properly. It must not
be located where there is air blowing directly on
the machine. Provide an environment that does not
have major temperature and humidity fluctuations.
WARNING
WARNING
CAUTION
❏Has a certified electrician been contacted to both
wire the laminator and ensure that an adequate
power supply is available with the appropriate
capacity, over-current protection, and safety lock-
outs?
The laminator requires 220 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz,
55A, single phase 3 wire. Or, in Europe only, 3-N
phase 230/400 VAC, 50 Hz, 25A per phase.
USA - For single phase 3 wire, L1, L2, and L3 are
tied together with a jumper bar on the main termi-
nal block.
Europe - For 3-N phase, L1, L2, and L3 are each
separate phases. The jumper bar must be removed
on the main terminal block.
WARNING
WARNING
Failure to follow the preinstallation checklist can
result in damage to the laminator.
The operating environment must be free of dust,
flammable liquids and vapors. You can be
injured by inhaling chemical vapors. Vapor build
up or stored flammable liquids can cause a fire.
Excessive dust can damage the laminator.
The machine is not designed for use in an
industrial environment.
Do not locate the laminator where air is blowing
directly on the machine. The air flow can cool the
rolls unevenly and result in poor quality output.
Do not operate the laminator if the power cord is
damaged or frayed. You can be severely shocked,
be electrocuted, or cause a fire. Contact a
qualified electrician to replace the cord
immediately.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord.
Do not locate the cord where people can walk on
it. You or others can be severely shocked, be
electrocuted, or cause a fire.

Installation ORCA-I SP Operation Manual
2-2 © GBC Pro-Tech 1998 April
❏Is there an appropriate filtered air supply avail-
able?
The laminator requires filtered air at 2 cubic feet
per minute (cfm), at a pressure of 100 pounds per
square inch (psi) (700 kPa). The air supply must be
clean (free of dirt) and dry. Moisture causes corro-
sion and particles block pneumatic controls. Either
problem can cause the laminator to malfunction.
WARNING
If the air supply is greater than 100 psi and less than
120 psi (825 kPa), complete Adjusting the Pressure
Booster under Section 4: Maintenance and Trouble-
shooting.
It is the customer's responsibility to provide appropri-
ate filters and water traps for the air hose before the air
is routed to the laminator. GBC Pro-Tech suggests that
the best approach to the air requirement is to provide a
dedicated small compressor for the laminator. A stan-
dard light-duty ½ to ¾ horse power (1kW) electric air
compressor with 2.0 to 2.5 cfm output with a 2.5 gallon
(20 liter) storage tank is appropriate.
CAUTION
Do not exceed 120 psi (825kPa) for the incoming
air supply pressure.
If the air supply exceeds the typical 100 psi
(700kPa) and is less than 120 psi (825kPa), the
pressure booster on the ORCA-I SP must be
adjusted to avoid damage to the machine and
possible injury to service technicians.
The air supply to the laminator must be clean
and dry to avoid damaging the machine.

WARNING
5. Remove any plastic strapping and packing paper
taped to the rolls.
CAUTION
6. Remove all packing materials to a safe distance
from the laminator.
☞A NOTE ABOUT RECYCLING
The crate components can be reused for shipping the
machine again, or can be disassembled and the wood
and screws can be recycled. The shrink wrap is not
recyclable, however, so it must be discarded.
☞NOTE
A word about international shipments: As these are
heavy pieces of equipment, GBC Pro-Tech takes every
precaution to ensure that our laminators are properly
crated to the highest standards.
Before machines leave our loading dock, they are pre-
treated with a VCI protective film to provide total cor-
rosion protection. This protective film is wrapped
around the machine and completely sealed. In addition,
moisture absorbing silicone desiccite packs are packed
inside the crate and machine cabinets.
Prior to start up of the machine, you must remove the
desiccite packs from each cabinet and discard. DO
NOT operate the machine with the desiccite packs
inside the cabinets.
6HWXS
Once the ORCA-I SP Laminator has been unpacked
and moved into final position check each of the follow-
ing items.
Tools required:
•1/8" hex wrench
• Adjustable wrench
Setup Procedure
1. Inspect the laminator for any obvious shipping
damage.
2. Remove the drive and control side cabinet covers
with the 1/8" hex wrench by removing the upper six
screws holding each cover in place and then loos-
ening, but not removing, the lower two screws and
lifting each panel off the lower screws.
3. Inspect all the bolts and tighten any that were loos-
ened during shipping.
4. Have a certified electrician wire the laminator
directly to a power source.
5. Set the nip. (See Section 4: Maintenance and Trou-
bleshooting for the procedure.)
6. Verify that infrared sensors are clean and have an
uninterrupted view of the rolls.
Do not attempt to move the laminator across
anything other than a flat, level surface without
trained and qualified riggers. You can be crushed
or seriously injured.
The ORCA-I SP is a large and heavy piece of
equipment. It is necessary to employ LICENSED
RIGGERS ONLY to move the machine. The
laminator is not designed to be tipped up or
sideways in any way. Such action disturbs the
exact alignment of the rolling parts of the
machine and requires extensive realignment.
GBC Pro-Tech’s warranty does not cover
malfunction of the equipment due to mishandling
and/or tipping.
GBC Pro-Tech bears no responsibility for
personal injury or damage due to moving the
laminator improperly.
Do not use a knife or other sharp instrument
during installation or while servicing the
laminator. You can cause irreparable damage to
the rolls.

WARNING
7. Verify that the photoelectric eyes are working
properly. (See Section 5: Adjustments for the pro-
cedure.)
8. If the rolls do not go up and down evenly, adjust
the air cylinder rate. (See Section 4: Maintenance
and Troubleshooting for the procedure.)
9. Replace both cabinet covers.
6WDUWXS
The first time the laminator is started and every time it
is serviced you should use the following checklist to
confirm that the unit is operating properly and that all
safety mechanisms are functioning.
Startup Checklist
Start the laminator and go through the following check-
list.
❏Are the emergency stop buttons working?
Push down on one of the emergency stop buttons.
The laminator should stop and both the upper main
roll and upper pull roll should rise, if they are low-
ered. Twist the button until it pops up. If the main
roll UP-DOWN switch is in the UP position, the
machine is reset once the emergency stop button is
released. If the switch is in the DOWN position, it
must be set to the UP position to reset the machine.
Always check both buttons.
WARNING
❏Are the emergency stop kick cables working?
With the laminator running, step on or kick the
front emergency stop kick cable. The rolls should
stop turning and rise, if they are lowered. If the
main roll UP-DOWN switch is in the UP position,
the machine is reset once tension is released from
the kick cable. If the switch is in the DOWN posi-
tion, it must be set to the UP position to reset the
machine. Repeat the test for the back emergency
stop kick cable.
WARNING
❏Is the photoelectric eye system working?
With the laminator running, place an object
approximately the size of your hand just in front of
the nip to confirm that the photoelectric eye system
is functioning. The rolls should stop. Move the
object away from the nip. The laminator should
resume operation.
WARNING
❏Is the motor functioning?
Test the motor at various speeds ranging from
0-14 fpm (feet per minute) (0-4.25 m/min). At 0
fpm, the rolls should stop turning.
Run the motor in both forward and reverse.
❏Are the heaters working?
Verify that the top heater controller heats the top
roll and the bottom heater controller heats the bot-
tom roll.
❏Is the footswitch operating?
Test the footswitch for both forward and reverse
operation. Verify that the footswitch overrides the
photoelectric eye by pressing the footswitch and
pushing an object as large as your hand into the nip
area.
Once you have completed the startup checklist, you can
safely run a test sample.
ALWAYS CHECK THE INFRARED SENSORS
PRIOR TO OPERATION! The sensors must be
clean and have free view of the roll to maintain
proper roll operating temperatures. The rolls can
overheat and cause a fire or seriously damage the
laminator.
Never operate the laminator unless both of the
emergency stop buttons are functioning properly.
You can be crushed or burned.
Never operate the laminator unless both of the
emergency stop kick cables are functioning
properly. You can be crushed or burned.
Never operate the laminator unless the
photoelectric eye system is functioning properly.
You can be crushed or burned.

GBC Pro-Tech laminators are powerful machines that
are designed to mount, laminate and encapsulate. The
forces required to accomplish these tasks can vary from
negligible to very large.
The air-cylinder system used to provide downward
pressure on the top roll is capable of producing forces
greater than 1000 pounds (454kg). This force is applied
to any object presented in the opening (called the nip)
between the two rolls.
Use care in lowering the top laminating roll and know
how to react quickly in an emergency. The laminator
roll UP-DOWN switch is located on the instrument
panel labeled Laminator Roll Controls on the upper
right side of the machine. This switch controls the up
and down motion of the top laminator roll. Before turn-
ing this switch to the DOWN position, ensure that
nothing is in the nip area.
The laminating rolls of the ORCA-I SP can reach tem-
peratures of over 200°F (100°C). At these temperatures
there is a danger of a severe burn if the rolls are
touched during set-up, operation, or servicing.
An important feature of the laminator is the photoelec-
tric eye system that stops the machine when objects
move into the nip area. Once the blocking object is
removed and the light beam is reestablished, the rolls
resume turning. However, this system is overridden if
you use the footswitch.
WARNING
The ORCA-I SP Laminator has a steel cabinet that is
bolted closed to isolate the electrical and drive system
components for the safety of the operator. Only a quali-
fied service technician should open these cabinets.
The laminator is equipped with two emergency stop
buttons located on the top of either side of the lamina-
tor. Either of these, if engaged, stops the laminator and
raises both the main roll and pull roll. To continue
operation, return both emergency stop buttons to the up
position and turn the main roll UP-DOWN switch to
the UP position to reset the laminator. The laminator
roll UP-DOWN switch is located on the instrument
panel labeled Laminator Roll Controls on the upper
right side of the machine. This switch controls the up
and down motion of the top laminator roll. Before turn-
ing this switch to the DOWN position, ensure that
nothing is in the nip area.
Figure 3-1: Using the Emergency Stop Buttons
In addition, the ORCA-I SP is equipped with two emer-
gency stop kick cables located at the lower front and
back of the laminator. Either of these, if stepped on or
kicked, stops the laminator and raises the rolls. To con-
tinue operation, turn the main roll UP-DOWN switch
to the UP position to reset the laminator. Before turning
this switch to the DOWN position, ensure that nothing
is in the nip area.
Use extreme caution when operating the
laminator with the footswitch. The photoelectric
eye system is overridden and your fingers can get
caught in the nip. You can be crushed or burned.

Setup of the ORCA-I SP Laminator is quick and
straightforward when instructions are followed exactly.
CAUTION
To adjust the nip, please see Section 4: Maintenance
and Troubleshooting.
/DPLQDWRU 5ROO 3UHVVXUH
Use only the minimum amount of roll pressure needed
to accomplish the task. While higher pressure can make
the adhesive bond faster, excess pressure can damage
the rolls. Wrinkles and bubbles have causes that gener-
ally cannot be cured by applying more pressure.
CAUTION
A typical roll pressure for soft substrates such as Foam-
core is between 20 to 30 pounds per square inch (psi)
or 140 to 205 kPa.
The range of typical values for hard substrates is 25 to
50 psi or 170 to 345 kPa.

Always use the same shim settings on the left and
right side of the laminator.
Excess pressure can damage the laminating rolls.
Minimum laminator roll pressure is consistent
with good results.
The blades on the slitters are razor sharp.
If caution is not used while loading materials,
you can cut yourself severely.
