17291

Dispensing, Laminate Molding,

Rotary Indexer Cell

ACT-17291 is a dispensing and laminate molding machine based on a 3-position indexer. The process starts with operator loading part to be laminated in fixtures on indexer in position 1. Upon program start, polymer is dispensed using 3-axis gantry in programmed pattern. This gantry dispensing station is equipped with two dispensing valves allowing different needle sizes or 2 different polymers to be used. Motion path can be programmed using individual target editing or can be derived from CAD.

Once polymer(s) are dispensed on the part or mold, operator places overlay to be molded and activates process continuation which rotates part to next station where floating roller presses down on the laminate and moves across it, squeezing it to distribute the polymer evenly. Next part is indexed into UV station where polymer is cured using ultra-violet light. Finished part comes back to operator position where it is unloaded. Any process parameters can be adjusted on touch screen interface.
