2 Introduction
The fully automatic laminating/mounting machine FAS is a one operator machine, especially developed for thicker bottom sheet material, such as open or double faced corrugated, foam board, cardboard etc. The machine features a modular construction which combines a rigid framework with modern anodized aluminum profiles resulting in a heavy-duty, yet attractive unit that will give many years of dependable service. Set up and changeover are accomplished quickly and easily from the operator side without the use of tools. A combination of mechanical and photocell controls results in consistent registration accuracy of less than +/- 0,75 mm when proper materials and conditions exist. Lamina's laminating machine type FAS is equipped with: - Automatic non-stop substrate sheet feeder - Automatic stream sheet feeder for the top sheet - Precision gluing unit with automatic glue application - Laminating station with automatic front and side registration system - Pressure station - Stacking table - PLC control system Automatic substrate sheet feeder For automatic feeding of the bottom sheet. The sheets are fed by continuous running belts. The stack is filled from the top. The feeder is designed to handle materials with a thickness from 0,6 mm up to 10 mm. Automatic top sheet feeder For automatic feeding of top sheets. Suction cups pick up the top sheet from tha stack and transport it to the top sheet conveyor. The feeder is designed to handle materials 180-350 gm/m2. Precision gluing unit The gluing units for accurate application of cold PVA glue to the upper surface of the substrates are equipped with automatic glue dispensers directly connected to the glue container. The glue is automatically kept under control by a sensor. During machine standstill the rotation speed of the rollers is reduced to a low idling speed. The precision gluing unit can be made fully accessible for easy cleaning by vertically swinging the top sheet conveyor up and out of the way. Laminating station At the automatic laminating station, the top and bottom sheets are automatically controlled by the registration system. The sheets are registered automatically at the edge as well as at the operator side. Photocells prevent the lamination process unless both sheets are properly positioned. Press station This unit consists of an adjustable press roller system ensuring perfect lamination. Stacking table For the stacking of finished products. the table can be turned and pulled out according to requirements. PLC control system The Lamina PLC control system includes: Touch screen monitor, continuous display of operating status, display of set up procedures for machine functions, touch screen activation of controlled machine functions and complete diagnostic screen with visual alarm.
