New Technology from Schober Produces Multi-Layer Products in One-Pass
Cincinnati, OH - Innovative technology from Schober USA allows the converting of multi-layered self-adhesive products in a single pass. The Central Converting Drum which is at the heart of the system includes 5 processing stations to laminate, de-laminate or die-cut materials like film and foil, pressure sensitive paper stock and textiles. Work-in-process materials stay in register because the workstations are integral to the Central Converting Drum. This allows disparate production processes such as laminating, de-laminating, die-cutting, profile punching, length and cross-cutting, waste extraction, unwinding, rewinding and product delivery to be performed. The MLPP-5 is ideal for the cost-effective manufacture of high-precision self-adhesive assembly parts, including cell phones and other communications devices, automotive and electronic components as well as intricate parts and components for the medical industry.
This unique design provides a versatile machine in an extremely small footprint. Base material width is 5" (129 mm) with a finished part width of 4.3" (109mm). Mechanical speeds of 165 ft/min are attainable with maximum production speed dependent upon the product and processes employed. Processing tolerances of +/- .0060" (.15 mm) are standard. All stations are standard with 3" (76mm) air shafts and tension control. Machine un-wind and re-wind stations can handle diameters up to 24" (600 mm). The system is controlled through an operator interface panel which includes a touch screen mounted on a swing arm for easy access and ergonomics.
Enclosures provide for safety and sound attenuation while allowing easy access for set-up and programming. Safety light curtains can also be provided if desired.
