The machine employs a flap-plate roller mechanism: the upper suction platform is hinged and opens upward to receive the film, then automatically rotates closed to align film over substrate before the lamination roller traverses. This fully automated flap motion is PLC-controlled — the operator loads substrate and film, activates suction on both platforms, and presses Start; the flap closes, the roller traverses, and the cycle completes automatically in 10–20 seconds.

At a rated throughput of approximately 1,500 panels per 10-hour shift (cycle time 10–20 seconds per panel), the machine is built for the sustained daily volumes of industrial display panel production environments — not low-volume or batch sampling operations.

The machine sits on a full-height enclosed cabinet base with lockable castors, housing the pneumatic system, PLC, and built-in vacuum pump internally. The cabinet is fitted with four lockable door panels, making it self-contained and suitable for clean production floor integration. Overall footprint: L1780 × W1000 × H1100 mm (refer to actual machine for confirmed dimensions).

Key Features

① Flap-Plate Upper Platform with Auto-Rotation The upper suction platform is hinged at the rear and opens to a raised loading position for film placement. Once the operator activates upper suction and presses Start, the flap automatically rotates to the closed position, precisely aligning the film over the substrate on the lower platform below. This automated flap motion eliminates manual film-alignment steps and ensures consistent film-to-substrate registration on every cycle.

② Roller Lamination with Progressive Edge-to-Edge Bonding The lamination roller traverses the full bonding stroke from the starting edge to the end position. As the roller advances under platform motion, the film bonds to the substrate progressively from one edge to the other, driving air ahead of the bond line and expelling it at the open edge before the adhesive seals. The roller start point, end point, up-timing, and down-timing are all programmable via the Parameter interface.

③ Built-in Vacuum Pump The machine includes a built-in vacuum pump — no external vacuum generator is required. The vacuum pump is controlled via the Manual Interface on the touchscreen. Separate upper and lower suction circuits allow independent vacuum control for film platform and substrate platform.

④ Dual Independent Vacuum Suction Platforms

Lower board suction (Button 3): Activates lower platform vacuum to secure the substrate (glass panel / display module)
Upper vacuum suction (Button 8): Activates upper platform vacuum to hold the film during flap close and lamination stroke
Independent control allows precise sequencing: substrate secured first, then film, before the automated cycle begins.

⑤ PLC + Touchscreen HMI with Full Parameter Control The machine is controlled by a PLC with colour touchscreen HMI providing three operating interfaces:

Automatic interface: Displays processing yield (piece count), film laminating speed (%), running speed (%), Reset, and Zero functions
Manual interface: Individual control of all single actions — Up Suction, Down Suction, Flip (flap open/close), Vacuum Pump on/off, Left/Right platform motion, Reset
Parameter interface: Film laminating start point, end point, vacuum pump standby timeout, roller up time, roller down time
Production count is persistent — count accumulates and is not lost on power-off. Reset requires a long-press of the Zero button.

⑥ Comprehensive Front-Panel Control Layout 12 control elements on the front panel and left side (per product imagery):

⑦ Pneumatic Drive with Pressure Regulation All platform motion and roller actuation are pneumatically driven. Working air pressure: 0.4–0.6 MPa (4–6 kg/cm²). The pressure regulator and filter unit are accessible from the left side of the machine cabinet. Air supply requires an external compressor connected via standard fitting. The pneumatic system uses cylinders, solenoid valves, and the built-in vacuum pump.

⑧ Enclosed Full-Height Cabinet Base with Mobile Castors The full-height enclosed cabinet (four lockable doors) houses all internal systems: PLC, vacuum pump, pneumatic control components, and electrical panels. The cabinet base is fitted with heavy-duty lockable castors, allowing the machine to be repositioned on the production floor. Levelling pads provide stable fixed-position operation.

⑨ Aluminium Alloy and Sheet Metal Frame Machine structure uses sheet metal and aluminium alloy construction (per User Manual). Frame and fitting parts include rollers and flap plate components.

Why Choose Us

Largest working area in the 300–600mm laminator range The 400 × 600 mm film laminating area accommodates the display panel sizes used in industrial monitors, large-format HMI panels, and commercial display modules in the 18–27 inch range — formats that exceed the working envelope of 300 × 400 mm platform laminators.

High daily throughput for production line integration At 10–20 seconds per panel, the machine supports approximately 1,500 panels per 10-hour shift (User Manual reference figure). This cycle rate is suited to industrial production line environments operating on two or three shifts, where consistent high-volume output is required.

Fully automated flap-plate cycle from a single Start trigger Once substrate and film are loaded and vacuum activated, a single Start button press executes the complete lamination cycle — flap close, platform traverse, roller up, lamination stroke, roller down, platform return, flap open — without further operator intervention. This eliminates the variability of manual film alignment and reduces operator fatigue on high-volume runs.

Self-contained system: built-in vacuum pump, enclosed cabinet The built-in vacuum pump eliminates the need for a separate vacuum generator. All pneumatic, electrical, and control systems are housed inside the enclosed cabinet, reducing the external equipment footprint at the production station and simplifying installation.

Programmable speed and position parameters Film laminating speed and running speed are independently adjustable by percentage from the touchscreen. Roller start point, end point, and timing parameters are set per-product on the Parameter interface, allowing the same machine to handle different panel sizes and film types with straightforward parameter adjustment.

FAQ

Q1: What does "OCA/SCA" mean, and what film types does this machine handle?

A: OCA and SCA are the two primary optical adhesive film types used in industrial display panel manufacturing:OCA (Optical Clear Adhesive): A solid, pre-formed optical adhesive film that is laminated onto cover glass before full optical bonding. OCA creates a transparent, bubble-free adhesive layer between the cover glass and LCD/LCM module in G+F and G+G panel structures. SCA (Silicone Clear Adhesive): A silicone-based optical clear adhesive film used in similar bonding applications, offering different elastic and thermal properties suited to specific display assembly requirements. In addition to OCA and SCA, this machine handles:Functional sheet — optical functional film layers for display assemblies AB adhesive film — double-sided adhesive film for display module assembly processes All four film types use the same flap-plate roller lamination process on this machine.

Q2: What panel sizes does the 400×600mm working area accommodate?

A: The film laminating area is 400 × 600 mm, as stated in the product specification and product imagery.Reference panel size ranges:A 21.5-inch 16:9 panel is approximately 476 × 268 mm — within the 400×600mm working area A 23.8-inch 16:9 panel is approximately 527 × 296 mm — within the 400×600mm area A 27-inch 16:9 panel is approximately 598 × 336 mm — within the working area A 32-inch 16:9 panel is approximately 708 × 398 mm — this exceeds the 600mm dimension The 400×600mm platform is approximately 50% larger in working area than the 300×400mm platform, making it the appropriate choice for display panels in the 18–27 inch range. For panels exceeding 27 inches, please enquire about larger-format configurations.

Q3: What is the production throughput of this machine?

A: Per the User Manual, the reference throughput is:Cycle time: 10–20 seconds per panel Reference output: Approximately 1,500 panels per 10-hour shift This figure is provided as a general reference at standard operating conditions. Actual throughput depends on panel size (within the 400×600mm envelope), film type, operator loading time, and production line configuration. Larger panels and thicker adhesive films typically require cycle times toward the upper end of the 10–20 second range.For a confirmed throughput estimate specific to your substrate and film combination, contact our sales team with your product specification.

Q4: Can lamination speed and roller parameters be adjusted for different film types?

A: Yes. The touchscreen provides two levels of speed and position control:From the Automatic Interface:Film laminating speed: Adjusts the lamination stroke speed as a percentage of maximum — slower for thicker or more sensitive adhesive films, faster for standard protective films Running speed: Adjusts the preparatory and return motion speed (platform travel outside the active lamination stroke) From the Parameter Interface:Film laminating start point: Sets the roller engagement position for different panel sizes Film laminating end point: Sets the roller disengagement position Roller up time: Sets the delay after roller rise before lamination stroke begins Roller down time: Sets the delay before platform return after roller descends Vacuum pump standby timeout: Sets automatic vacuum pump shutoff when machine is idle These parameters allow the machine to be configured for different panel dimensions and film types without mechanical adjustment.

Q5: Why does this machine weigh approximately 450 kg, and how is it moved?

A: The 450 kg weight reflects the full-height enclosed cabinet structure, which houses the PLC, built-in vacuum pump, pneumatic control assembly, electrical panels, and four-panel locking cabinet enclosure — all integrated into a single self-contained unit.The cabinet base is fitted with heavy-duty lockable castors, allowing the machine to be rolled across a smooth factory floor for repositioning. For installation, the castors are locked and levelling pads provide stable, vibration-free operation.Confirm floor loading capacity and aisle dimensions (machine footprint approximately L1780 × W1000 mm) before delivery. Fork access points or lifting provisions should be confirmed with the sales team for sites requiring crane or forklift placement.

Q6: What working environment does this machine require?

A: Based on the User Manual safety and operating requirements:Ventilation: Good ventilation required — keep away from metal dust and sources of electromagnetic interference Electrical environment: Away from strong electromagnetic radiation sources; third-class grounding required Air supply: Clean, dry compressed air at 0.4–0.6 MPa; filter-regulator unit is built into the machine's left side panel for moisture and particle filtration Clean-room compatibility: The enclosed cabinet structure and top-surface work area are compatible with Class 1000 (ISO 6) clean-room environments for optical film lamination applications Single-operator operation: The User Manual specifies one operator per machine — the machine is not designed for multi-operator simultaneous operation

Q7: What does the Manual Interface on the touchscreen allow the operator to do?

A: The Manual Interface provides direct single-action control of every machine function independently of the automated cycle, useful for setup, troubleshooting, and product changeover:Up Suction / Down Suction: Activate upper or lower vacuum independently Flip: Open or close the flap plate manually Vacuum Pump: Turn the built-in vacuum pump on or off independently Left / Right motion: Move the lower platform left or right manually (long-press for continuous motion) Reset: Return all components to preparatory state Manual Interface access is available directly from the Automatic Interface by pressing "Manual Interface" on the touchscreen — no separate mode switch is required.

Q8: Is OEM or custom-specification ordering available?

A: Yes. Common OEM and customisation options for this machine type include:Working area adjustment: Platform dimensions beyond 400 × 600 mm for display panels exceeding 27 inches Roller configuration: Roller width and pressure range adaptation for specific film types or substrate thicknesses Vacuum zone layout: Custom upper/lower platform vacuum zone configuration for non-standard substrate geometries Anti-static options: Ion fan and static grounding for clean-room anti-static requirements Speed and parameter range: Extended lamination speed range for high-viscosity adhesive films Please provide your substrate dimensions, film type (OCA grade, SCA type, or functional sheet specification), target daily throughput, and operating environment when enquiring about customisation.
