The laminating machine is to coat the plastic film with an adhesive, and then combine it with the printed matter using paper as the substrate, pressurized by the rubber roller and the heating roller, and form a product of paper and plastic. The printed product coated by the laminating machine has a thin and transparent plastic film on the surface, which makes the surface smoother and brighter, which not only improves the gloss and fastness of the printed product, but also prolongs the service life of the printed product. To waterproof, anti-fouling, wear-resistant, fold-resistant, chemical corrosion and other protective effects.
1. The laminator does not start: the input wire is disconnected, the power cord is reversed, and the voltage is insufficient.
2. Inaccurate temperature measurement: thermocouple, temperature controller. Whether the installation is incorrect and damaged.
3. The working vacuum does not come up: the gas path is blocked, the hand valve or solenoid valve is not closed, the vacuum pump motor belt is loose, and the vacuum gauge is damaged.
4. The main power switch trips: leakage of the input wire on the top of the heating box, leakage of the distribution box, external wires on the equipment, leakage of the motor, etc.
5. The film is not in place: the vacuum is not enough, air leakage, temperature is not enough, the film is too thin, the workpiece is pasted with other materials, the concave depth of the workpiece exceeds the film lift, the suction time is too short, the film is not lifted, the workpiece distance Too close.
6. The surface of the overlaid workpiece is folded and not smooth or the corners cannot be wrapped: the film is not straightened, the quality of the film is not good, the workpiece is not well polished, the glue is sprayed too much, and the mold below the workpiece is too low.
7. The film is pulled down when the suction is not reached: whether the solenoid valve or hand valve is open.
8. Breaking phenomenon: the temperature is too high, the heating time is too long, the film quality is not good, and there is no heating.
Advantages of pre-coating film laminating machine:
1. The color difference after coating the pre-coated film is slight.
2. Simple and easy to use, saving operation time.
3. No foam, no wrinkles or delamination.
4. The effect of pre-coating film coating is brighter than traditional cold-adhesive pre-coating film coating (oily, water-based), and the product can be stored for a long time without yellowing.
5. No solvent pollution makes the factory safer and environmentally friendly, and the workers are healthier.
The machine is easy to operate, equipped with automatic temperature control, film slitting and punching, and automatic winding device. With the cooperation of high-precision chrome-plated mirror heating roller and internal stainless steel heating tube, the constant temperature performance is excellent, making the pre-coating film covered. The membrane is faster.
Part of the color packaging film method is to use biaxially oriented polypropylene film, the product after the film will appear dull or blistering. The author conducted research and analysis on this issue and summarized the following points.
1. Temperature control is not suitable
When the roll-to-roll laminator coats different substrates, the temperature of the electrically heated steel drum must be adjusted according to the product being coated. If the coated substrate is gold cardboard, the temperature of the laminated steel cylinder should be controlled at 70℃~80℃: if it is coated with 250g/m2 or 300g/m2 gray whiteboard paper, the temperature should be adjusted to 80℃~90℃. During the placement of whiteboard paper, the moisture it absorbs far exceeds that of gold cardboard.
Especially in rainy days and winter, if the temperature is not adjusted properly, the film-covered product will not shine. When laminating, sometimes there are obvious water droplets or steam on the silicon roller, which is caused by the paper absorbing a lot of moisture. The film laminating temperature of such products must be raised a little bit more. For a product received, the drying tunnel temperature can be controlled at 50 ℃ ~ 60 ℃. Use the glued film to stick the finger at the exit of the drying tunnel and test it without traces, just a little sticky. If the film temperature is too high, it will foam. Therefore, the temperature of the heating steel drum must be controlled according to the characteristics of the product when laminating.
2. Insufficient pressure
According to customer needs, the thickness of the substrate material is mostly inconsistent. When laminating, the pressure between the silicone roller and the steel roller should be adjusted according to the thickness of the substrate paper. If the pressure is too low, the film of the film-covered product is not strong, bright, and easy to produce wrinkles: too much pressure will cause film wrinkles and paper deformation.
3. The amount of glue
When using stretched polypropylene film. The film must be glued. The amount of glue is applied to a moving film by a transmission steel roller installed in a rubber box through a rotating belt. The amount of glue is controlled by a steel blade that falls on the steel roller. Large amount of light pressure glue: small amount of pressure heavy glue. The amount of glue should be mastered, so that it can be covered evenly, and no crystal points can be produced. If the amount of glue is too large, the covered product will be dull.
Special attention should be paid to the process of gluing, it is necessary to prevent the tiny particles and foreign objects after the gel solidifies from remaining in the rubber tray. If it is left, it will be picked up by the rubber roller during rotation and stuck on the rubber blade, and there will be a rubber-free white mark here. Therefore, after a long shutdown of the laminating machine, before the laminating machine is started, the laminating pump and the hopper box should be cleaned with laminating water or high boiling point kerosene to ensure that the glue of the upper roller is normally coated on the film and does not produce. Trace.
4. Keep the roller clean
After a long time of pressing, the steel drum is in direct contact with the membrane. With the effect of temperature, some residues will be left on the steel drum. The silicone roller is in direct contact with the back of the coated product paper, plus the separation of the paper distance, many glues are directly pressed onto the rubber roller to cause accumulation, which will affect the brightness of the coated product. In severe cases, the covered product may wrinkle. Therefore, the drum must be kept clean and shut down at any time to ensure the quality of the film-covered product.
The laminating machine manufacturer explained that the pre-coating type laminating machine is a special equipment for compounding printed matter with pre-coated plastic. Compared with the instant coating laminator, the biggest feature is that there is no sizing and drying parts, so this type of laminator is compact in structure, small in size, low in cost, easy to operate, and has good product quality stability.
The pre-coating laminating machine consists of four main parts: pre-coating plastic film unwinding, automatic input of printed matter, hot-press area compounding, and automatic rewinding, as well as mechanical transmission, pre-coating plastic film flattening, vertical and horizontal slitting, and computer control system And other auxiliary devices.
1. The automatic conveying mechanism of the printed matter input part can ensure that the printed matter does not overlap during the transmission and enter the composite part at an equal distance. It is generally controlled by pneumatic or friction methods. The conveyance is accurate and high precision. It can also be used when the printed product with a small composite format is small Meet the above requirements.
2. The composite part includes a composite roller group and a calender roller group. The composite roller group is composed of silicon rubber heating pressure roller pressure roller. The hot pressure roller is a hollow roller, which is equipped with a heating device inside, and the surface is forged with hard chrome, and is polished and refined. The temperature of the hot roller is tracked by the sensor and corrected by the computer at any time. The compound pressure is adjusted by an eccentric cam mechanism. Stepless adjustment. The calender roller group is basically the same as the composite roller group, that is, it is composed of a chrome-plated pressure roller and a silicone pressure roller, but without a heating device. The main function of the calender roller group is: after the pre-coated plastic film and the printed matter are compounded by the composite roller group, the surface brightness is not high. After the secondary extrusion of the calender roller group, the surface brightness and adhesion strength are greatly improved.
3. Transmission system The transmission system is driven by a high-power motor controlled by a computer. After one-stage gear reduction, it is driven by a three-stage chain to drive the movement of the paper feed mechanism and the rotation of the silicone pressure roller of the composite part and the calendering mechanism. The pressure roller set maintains a suitable working pressure under the action of steplessly adjusted pressure.
4. Computer control system The computer control system uses a microprocessor. The hardware configuration consists of a main board, digital key board, optical isolation board, power board, stepper motor power driver board, etc.
Familiar with the preparation operation before the automatic laminating machine is started
The laminating process of the automatic laminating machine refers to the whole process of laminating pictures and photos, including film selection, film making, and cutting. Mainly used for post-production of advertising pictures and wedding photos. The pictures covered with film have high anti-corrosion, waterproof, dustproof, anti-wrinkle and anti-ultraviolet erosion performance, which can produce strong three-dimensional sense and artistic appeal. So what should we do before the lamination process?
Inspection work before laminating machine:
1. Detection before laminating machine ⑴ Confirm whether the machine is in a safe state.
2. Film transport adjustment to make the film tension even to adapt to the film transport tension.
3. Check whether the gap between the glue roller and the glue is parallel.
4. Check the temperature of the heating roller to avoid inaccurate thermometer.
5. The pressure that the pressure gauge must reach, otherwise the pressure will affect the product.
6. Clean the sundries on the rubber roller, so as not to cause waste in the finished product.
After completing the preparation work, close the main power switch, turn on the heating cylinder and the motor, then turn on the oil pump, adjust the flow rate of the laminating glue, and adjust the parallelism between the rollers. Adjust the measuring position of the paper on the feeding table, apply the film-coated glue, and turn on the drying tunnel for heating. After testing several sheets of film, adjust the heating temperature, pressure and air intake of the heating roller again until the effect is good, and then start normal work.
Fully automatic laminating is to apply plastic adhesive to the plastic film and print it with paper as the substrate, press it together with the rubber roller and the heating roller to form a product of paper and plastic. Can be divided into mica tape coating, paper coating, advertising consumables coating, aluminum foil coating, suitable for: paper, film, PE, PVC and other roll composite.
