Fellowes do-it-yourself laminator repair

In detail: do-it-yourself fellowes laminator repair from a real master for my.housecope.com.

In general, such a story: in the office I serve, the laminator died. the system is quite primitive - there are 2 heating elements (top and bottom) connected in parallel. the connection is made by wiring slipping over the spade contacts. and these same petal contacts on the ten itself are as if glued. not welded, but glued. and one of them fell off.
to solder there no way - after all, ten, can be soldered in the process of work. cooking also does not work - they were taken to the institute to the welding department - they said, they say, it will not weld.
in the store there is such a thing called "contact-radio" - this is a type of varnish (as they explained to me) for drawing conductive paths on dielectrics - just for drawing printed circuit boards.
So here's the actual question: if you glue this fucking petal contact on this varnish? has anyone worked with this crap? how does she handle the heat?

I was taking apart the laminator. Maybe, of course, not such a model. The glued-on heater looks only at first glance. In fact, it is easy to disassemble. The lumen gland that transfers heat to the shaft has a groove. Three mica plates are inserted into this groove. One is narrower, ordinary nichrome is wound around it and the ends are riveted to the petals, Two are wider, above and below the heater, so as not to close to the very lumen iron.

you take a kontaktol, which is for repairing the rear window heaters of a car, but we don’t bother and we take the one that is more expensive and yellowish
we coat the contacts and fix.
in this way they restored stoves in HPLj and CanonFC copiers

Either there is nothing to burn, or there is nothing to set fire to!

Below are the typical, common malfunctions of laminators, and solutions based on our experience.

note, that in each specific case, the timing of the repair may differ from the indicated terms, both in the smaller and in the larger direction. But believe us, it is unprofitable for the master to delay the repair or perform the work in such a way that the warranty case occurs, so he will make every effort to complete the task set to him as quickly and efficiently as possible.

The best part for the owner of the laminator is that it is often possible to fix the problem in the laminator without replacing the sometimes expensive spare part, which is quite difficult to find in specialized stores. And as you know: the difficulty in purchasing any spare part for the laminator leads to a significant increase in the timing of the repair of the laminator.

Below are the typical (frequent) malfunctions of laminators that do not require long-term repair.

1. One of the problems with the malfunctioning of the hot lamination machine is the customer's complaint that the machine has stopped heating up at all or the heating is very weak. In such cases, the laminator will give an error.

cause: thermocouple defective;
way to eliminate: replacing the thermoelement (light bulb) of the laminator;
repair time: in the presence of a thermoelement (light bulb) at the master, this malfunction is eliminated in 1-1.5 hours. Finding a light bulb (thermoelement) in stores is not very easy, but compared to some other spare parts for laminators (laminating machines) it is not difficult. If it is necessary to purchase a new spare part, the repair time will increase by a maximum of a day or two. And then these terms depend on the time of day of the order of the laminator repair service and the day of the week.

2.The second typical malfunction of these machines is the complaint that the laminator does not pick up paper.

cause: wear of the broaching rollers;
way to eliminate: restoration or replacement of broaching rollers;
repair time: The feed rollers can often be repaired. Restoration of the feed rollers in laminators takes about 2 hours.

3. Occasionally the laminator makes a crackling noise when the paper is fed, or the paper does not move at all.

cause: the gear is worn out (broken);
way to eliminate: In rare cases, the gear can be restored. But most often it is necessary to replace the gear;
repair time: It is almost impossible to get a new ready-made laminator gear. There is only one way out: to make a gear for the laminator to order *. Production of a gear for a laminator in our company takes 2-5 days, depending on the complexity of the teeth and the state of wear of the original.

* Read about the timing of the production of gears, as well as prices and conditions on our website in the section production of gears to order.

4. Sometimes there are complaints about poor lamination of the apparatus. that is, the machine laminates, but the laminating film wrinkles or the laminator laminates the paper in parts. A common complaint is that the laminator does not laminate film well.

cause: insufficient pressure between the broaching rollers;
way to eliminate: replacement or restoration of the laminator feed rollers;
repair time: if it is necessary to replace the broaching rollers, the repair time varies from 1 day to a week (provided that the master does not have the necessary spare parts). However, the feed rollers in the laminator can often be repaired. Repair takes 3-4 hours no more.

We have repeatedly written on our website that it is better to prevent the problem than prevent it. The K-Service company advises all owners of laminators (laminating machines) to carry out the prophylaxis of their machines on time. It's much cheaper, and most importantly, much faster. With timely high-quality preventive maintenance of the laminator, you will not have time to lose a single client and will have time to give all your loved ones beautiful postcards for the holiday!

You can find prices for the prevention of laminators in the section prices.

Initially, it should be emphasized that the techniques for eliminating breakdowns in lamination equipment cannot be applied exclusively to each model. Repair terms can also vary within small limits: from 1 to 2 days.

To buy a4 laminators today is not very difficult. However, if the equipment is actively used and the relevant rules are not followed, the laminator may fail.

The most common breakdown is characterized by a drop in thermal heating. Customers say that the device either does not heat at all, or does not heat, but very weakly.

A professional will be able to eliminate the indicated problem in 1-1.5 hours if he has a thermocouple on his hands. If it is not there, the repair may take several more days, since it is sometimes very difficult to find the necessary spare parts.

The second most common problem is the inability to grab a sheet of paper for lamination. Everything here is extremely simple - the broaching rollers are out of order. They can be replaced just as quickly.

Frequently, when the laminator is operating, you can hear strange noises like a repetitive crackling sound. Many customers do not pay attention to this, as the device continues to work.

The reason is the breakage of the main gear. In some cases, it can be repaired. But it is better to make a new one from a more durable material. In specialized repair shops, this can take up to 5 days.

The fact is that many modern offices that provide services for the repair of copiers and laminators are very young.You can run into incompetent repairmen.

In this case, there is no need to talk about the quality of the repair.

Below is a list of criteria by which you can isolate professionals from the general mass:

  • the firm has a website;
  • when communicating with a consultant by phone, he diagnoses a breakdown and says the exact time of its elimination;
  • the presence of a chain of reception of the device / repair / delivery to the place.

Working with professionals, you can be sure that if some parts are replaced, new, not used parts will be installed in your laminator.

The video demonstrates the process of repairing the laminator:

Is there film stuck in the laminator? How do I get the film out of the laminator? Has the laminator chewed on the film? If you are tormented by these questions, then you have come to the right place. I will show you how to remove it without much difficulty using the example of the peach 230 s laminator.

Well, let's start disassembling. We unscrew the 4 bolts from the back.

We unscrew the 4 bolts of the protective casing.

We remove one shaft, it rests on springs and we see the stuck film.

Remove the metal bar.

The bar is removed and the film is pulled out.

Putting everything back together. This laminator is one of the simpler ones. More expensive models are more difficult to disassemble.

First of all, I would like to focus on the work of a consultant manager. He is a smart guy, does not work according to a template, knows how to find contact with a client. I believe that the manager is the face of the company, it must be appropriate in order to impress the buyer. In addition, the store has a showroom. That is, you can come and look at the product live, it is also a good idea to consult. I liked the store, so maybe I'll contact you again.

We bought scales Massa-k, MK and TV-S models, several pieces each. The prices here are practically the cheapest, and besides, everything is in stock. Accordingly, everything went very quickly and without hassle. Also, I liked the fact that the company itself bears warranty obligations - this is important.

To be honest, I did not expect such tact and organization from the store. I learned a lot of interesting and useful information from the manager, based on his advice I was able to make a choice. It is immediately evident that the store has an established courier delivery. I judge by the fact that the courier was not late, delivered the order at the appointed time, besides, he phoned me before arrival. The director has recruited, indeed, qualified personnel. SPB90 is the best store in its segment of the market.

I ordered a waterproof scale MK-15.2-AV11. This is a rare model, but this is exactly what I needed. Phoned a lot of stores before finding (almost all, I think). Only here were available. Came the next day in the morning and took my order. From a conversation with the manager, it became clear that 90% of stores do not keep even the slightest bit of a warehouse, especially for not very popular items.

I drew, as best I could, the diagram of this laminator. Everything seems to be working now, the motor turns with reverse, the heating element heats the shafts but the temperature is not regulated. The variable on the top left by 10Khm should regulate the temperature. Did I connect it correctly? I didn’t find the OU NA17741, I installed it LM741-like they write that this is an analogue. Can someone tell me what could be wrong. In the circuit there was a native zener diode at 13v, it confuses me, since the power supply of the op-amp is 15V.

redrawn the circuit, so a little clearer. Now the variable 10k from the top left adjusts the temperature the other way around. When turning clockwise, the temperature on the pointer indicator should increase, but it decreases. The temperature sensor is similar to a diode, but apparently the thermistor is standing, since when heated, the resistance decreases. How can you configure the circuit to work correctly, tell me who understands the circuits with an op-amp.

Thanks to the advent of laminators, it is now possible to laminate almost anything, not only in a copy center, but also at home. Therefore, failure of the laminator causes significant discomfort, which can be eliminated only thanks to repair of the laminator in the warranty workshop or in the post-warranty service center.

Regardless of the type and model of the laminator, working with it has certain subtleties, which can be found in the instruction manual. However, anything can happen, and the laminator can fail unexpectedly.

Problems that may arise during the lamination process:

  • The device does not turn on;
  • The film is loose on the drive shaft;
  • Small defects (bubbles) appear;
  • The laminator motor does not respond to pressing the start button;
  • The pressure indicator sensor does not work correctly;
  • etc.

These and many other problems can arise both due to poor quality factory assembly and the fault of the user who does not follow the rules of operation.

Regardless of the type of device and the degree of complexity of the breakdown, qualified specialists of the Master Plus center, having the necessary knowledge and extensive experience, will repair the laminator, shredder.plotter and any other equipment and restore the device to work quickly and at a very attractive price.

Laminators work with temperature and literally melt the film. Accordingly, the main malfunctions that occur with laminators are associated with improper use of these devices - jams and the resulting fusion of the film for lamination (the film is wound on the take-up roller and the laminator is completely inoperative). This is usually accompanied by a characteristic smoke and a corresponding burning smell.

The reason for such a fusion of the film during the lamination process is the incorrect feeding of the film into the machine, when the film is fed crookedly, which inevitably leads to its winding on the roll, or the wrong choice of the lamination temperature when the thin film is exposed to an excessively high temperature for it.

But it also happens that electronic components fail and the laminator simply stops working, as well as the shutdown of some features, such as temperature control, mode switching, etc. Partly the appearance of such malfunctions is associated with our unstable power grids, and partly with the quality of electronics of this class, which is far from perfect.

We troubleshoot laminators of all brands and types. We serve as simple, "small9"; laminators and complex lamination machines.

We serve the following brands of laminators:

Laminators are fairly simple devices and many manufacturers try their hand at making these devices. Even if the brand of your laminator is not on the list, we are ready to take on its maintenance.

The term for troubleshooting laminators usually does not exceed 1-2 business days, but it should also be noted that the repair time depends on each specific case.
