Despite its compact form, the 9TU-M068S retains the full industrial specification of its larger sibling: AirTac cylinder with back-pressure regulation, Japan Omron independent upper and lower platen heating (±2 °C uniformity), SMC triple-gauge monitoring of positive pressure, back pressure, and vacuum, Hiwin precision linear guide rails, and a password-protected PLC touchscreen parameter system.

The vacuum-first process sequence evacuates the sealed chamber to approximately -98 kPa in about 13 seconds — two seconds faster than the full-size 9TU-M068 — before the cylinder descends to apply up to 6,000 N of controlled press force. A dedicated vacuum pump maintenance reminder system tracks oil-change intervals, reducing unplanned downtime in continuous-production environments.

Key Features

550×380 vacuum laminating machine

98 kPa Vacuum in ~13 Seconds — Faster Air Removal The sealed chamber reaches approximately -98 kPa in about 13 seconds — marginally faster than the larger 9TU-M068 due to the smaller chamber volume. The SMC digital negative-pressure gauge monitors vacuum in real time, with automatic alarm if the set level is not reached before pressing begins, blocking defective cycles before they occur.

Japan Omron Dual-Zone Heating — ±2 °C Uniformity up to 99 °C Upper and lower platens heat independently under Japan Omron thermostat control. The 550 × 380 mm bonding surface reaches 80 °C in approximately 12 minutes (vs. ~15 min on the full-size M068), with ±2 °C temperature uniformity ensuring consistent OCA or SCA adhesive activation across the entire bonding area. Temperature range is room temperature to 99 °C (adjustable; customisation available).

AirTac Precision Cylinder + Back-Pressure Regulation — Up to 6,000 N The AirTac customised cylinder delivers up to approximately 6,000 N maximum pressing force — identical to the full-size 9TU-M068. The back-pressure regulating valve provides counter-force control as the cylinder descends, ensuring a smooth, balanced press that prevents sudden impact on sensitive display components and distributes pressure uniformly across the full platform area.

550×380 vacuum laminating machine

Triple SMC Gauge Monitoring (Positive / Back / Negative Pressure) Three independent SMC digital display gauges give operators simultaneous visibility of positive press pressure, back pressure, and chamber vacuum throughout every cycle. This complete process monitoring architecture supports quality records, process optimisation, and rapid fault diagnosis on the production floor.

550×380 vacuum laminating machine

Hiwin Linear Guide Rails — Precise Platen Travel The press platen runs on Hiwin precision linear guide rails, ensuring straight, wobble-free descent for uniform pressure distribution across the full 550 × 380 mm bonding surface on every cycle.

40 mm Bonding Height Clearance The 40 mm clearance between the laminating platform and the fitting frame accommodates display assemblies including backlight modules, framed industrial panels, and multi-layer stacks typical of industrial HMI and in-vehicle display modules.

550×380 vacuum laminating machine

Automatic Platform In/Out — 760 mm Ergonomic Work Height The laminating platform extends and retracts automatically under PLC control, presenting the workpiece at 760 mm from the floor — a standing-work ergonomic height reducing operator loading fatigue during extended production shifts.

550×380 vacuum laminating machine

Built-in Vacuum Pump Maintenance Reminder The PLC parameter system includes a configurable vacuum pump oil-change interval counter. When the set production count is reached, the system triggers a maintenance reminder alarm. After completing the oil change, the operator confirms via the touchscreen to reset the counter — a proactive maintenance feature not common on smaller bench-top machines.

550×380 vacuum laminating machine

4.3-Inch PLC Touchscreen — Bilingual, Password-Protected The 4.3-inch colour touchscreen interface (Chinese/English switchable) provides access to all process parameters: vacuum time, aerate (press) time, decompression time, upper/lower temperature settings, maintenance reminder interval, and single/double button start mode. Administrator password (9595) protects parameter settings from unauthorised changes in multi-shift environments.

FAQ

Q1. What is the maximum panel or assembly size this machine handles?
The laminating platform measures 550 mm × 380 mm. The complete workpiece — panel plus any alignment fixture — must fit within this area with adequate clearance on all sides. For panels outside this footprint, the 9TU-M068 (500×700 mm platform) is available.
Q2. What adhesive types are compatible?
The 9TU-M068S is designed for both SCA (Solid/Semi-Cured Adhesive) gel and OCA (Optical Clear Adhesive) film lamination. The independent Omron dual-zone heating supports temperature-sensitive SCA cure bonding as well as standard OCA film processes. For liquid OCR (Optical Clear Resin) workflows, please confirm process compatibility with our technical team before ordering.
Q3. What bonding combinations does it support?
The machine supports G+G (glass-to-glass), cover glass to LCD/LCM module, TP to display module, polarizer lamination, industrial HMI cover lens assembly, in-vehicle display module lamination, and digital signage panel bonding — for any stack that fits the 550 × 380 mm platform.
Q4. How fast does the chamber reach working vacuum?
The sealed chamber evacuates to approximately -98 kPa in about 13 seconds under standard atmospheric conditions. Actual time is subject to local altitude. The SMC digital negative-pressure gauge monitors vacuum in real time; an automatic alarm activates if the set vacuum is not achieved before pressing, preventing the press cycle from starting on an under-evacuated chamber.
Q5. What is the fastest production cycle?
The fastest single process cycle is approximately 40 seconds, covering vacuuming, pressing, and decompression. Actual throughput is product-dependent — panel size, adhesive type, and set hold times all influence cycle duration.
Q6. What is the maximum pressing force, and how is it controlled?
The AirTac cylinder delivers up to approximately 6,000 N. Press force is set via the precision pressure regulating valve on the control panel and displayed on the SMC positive-pressure digital gauge. The back-pressure regulating valve provides a controlled counter-force, ensuring smooth descent and uniform pressure across the bonding area.
Q7. What is the temperature range and uniformity?
Upper and lower platens are independently controlled by Japan Omron thermostats. The operating range is room temperature to 99 °C (adjustable; custom ranges available). Temperature uniformity across the 550 × 380 mm surface is ±2 °C. The upper platen reaches 80 °C in approximately 12 minutes from cold start.
Q8. Do I need a debubbling (autoclave) machine after bonding?
Yes, for optically demanding applications. Even at -98 kPa, residual micro-bubbles at the adhesive interface after bonding must be eliminated in a subsequent high-pressure autoclave / debubbling step to achieve final optical clarity and long-term bond reliability. We supply matched autoclave equipment — please enquire about combined line pricing.
Q9. What are the installation and facility requirements?
Power: AC 220 V, 50 Hz, ~2,750 W Air supply: 0.5 – 0.6 MPa dry compressed air; compressor pressure 4–6 kgf/cm² Footprint: 1,030 × 750 mm; height 1,330 mm Weight: ~300 kg — requires a solid, level floor; positioning by pallet jack or fork-lift Work surface height: 760 mm (standing operation) No machine room required; adequate ventilation recommended
Q10. Is OEM or ODM customisation available?
Yes. OEM orders (custom branding/labelling) and ODM projects (platform size, heating configuration, vacuum system, inline integration) are accepted. Provide your technical requirements for a formal feasibility and lead-time assessment.
