Abstract: Disclosed herein is an improved laminator for processing and laminating sheets of material. The disclosed laminator includes anti-jamming or anti-wrap components to prevent sheets of material from wrapping around rollers in the machine. The anti-wrap components may include wires positioned in self-healing grooves in the rollers of the machine. The machine may also include a heat core to provide heating to a plurality of sets of rollers. The laminator may also include a user interface to provide an operator with status information and emote to encourage the operator to interact with the machine in an efficient manner. The laminator may also include sensors, controller, and display to recognize a cleaning sheet and inform an operator of the status of the cleaning cycle.

Abstract: A UI interface which signals to the user how to interact within an efficient manner with the machine in which the interface has been attached to or integrated within. The UI takes into consideration various machine feature based sensor inputs to gauge and signal to the operator how and when to engage with the machine to encourage the user to engage in such a way as to allow the machine to operate within its operational efficiency including but not limited to range, level, speed and energy consumption levels. The machine operator's engagement and behaviors are influenced in a human-centered way as to encourage behaviors which increase interactive control efficiencies as to reduce machine time and energy expended to process a given task, over other behaviors.
