Introduction

FASM-B Glass Film Application Machines Stick Film with Cylindrical Rolls Adjustable by Pneumatic Cylinders

Some glass, for example reflective coated glass, requires protective films adhering on glass surface. FASM-B series film adhering machines are used to apply film layers on glass surfaces. Machines are operated off line or inline incorporated with upstream production lines such as glass coating system. Some glass is required to applied films on both surfaces. FASM-B is available with optional double side adhering capability by passing the machine in one time. Mirrors back are also adhered with protective films for safety purposes. The machines are also mirror back film applying and affixing machines.

General

The machine consists of inlet conveyor, film sticking section and outlet conveyor. Production procedure includes loading, inlet conveying, film unwinding, film applying, roller pressing, film affixing, film cutting and unloading.

Inlet Conveying

Inlet Conveyor of Film Application Machine for Glass Or Mirror Loading

It is a tubular welded steel structure painted with top quality varnish and epoxy primer. Rollers are supported on two ends of structure. There are castor balls which allow easy loading of glass or mirror. There is glass registration system. Glass is manually positioned on inlet conveyor in alignment with film. Rollers are driven by electric motor with infinite speed regulator, except FASM-B-1200 which is transported manually. Transmission system is chains with sprocket wheels except FASM-B-1200. The roller table brings glass or mirror automatically towards film sticking machine. Glass transportation could be activated or de-activated either by switch on control panel or foot pedal.

Film Applying & Affixing

Cylindrical Press Roll is Automatically Regulated by Pneumatic Cylinder

Press Roll is Driven by Heavy Duty Electric Motor

Press Rolls

It is composed of heavy duty top and bottom press rollers across the structure. Top tangential surface of bottom surface is level with conveyor rollers. Press rollers are covered by abrasive resistant rubber. Rubber is hard enough to apply film on glass but meanwhile, it is elastic and soft not to scratch or damage the glass. Top roller is idle. There are pneumatic cylinders installed at both ends of bottom roller. Cylinders are used to push lower roller up. Vertical stroke length of lower roller is adjustable. It is used to regulate rollers distance between top and bottom rollers according to glass or mirror thickness. While glass or mirror is drag forwards by motorized bottom press roll, it pushes top press roll upwards leaving enough space to allow glass or mirror to pass through. Top roll laminates film on glass or mirror surface by means of gravity with bottom roller served as a back support sustained by pneumatic cylinders.

Two Film Roll Supports Above Conveyor Allowing Fast Interchanging of Film Rolls

Film Support

There are two steel tubes above rubber rollers. Film rolls are inserted into steel tubes. There are two adjustable stoppers on the steel tubes. When film roll is loaded, stoppers moves against two ends of film roll. Stoppers are fix with bolts to prevent film roll from sliding during operation. The two film rolls supports design eliminates film rolls changeover time.

Film Stretching Regulator

It is a stainless steel bar, running with one way bearing, lying across the machine beneath film supports. Film is unwind from film support and is hung over across this bar and finally lay on glass or mirror surface. The bar is used to stretch the film and regulate film tension. It also acts as buffer. Uniform film tension ensures wrinkle free and perfect flatness of film lay on glass or mirror while passing through top and bottom rubber rollers.

Film Cutting

Film cutting is done manually. After glass, with film lay on top, exits from press rollers completely, operator turn switch on panel or activate foot pedal to stop glass movement. After film is cut, operator activates rollers conveyor and glass arrives at the end of conveyor for unloading.

Outlet Conveying

It is a tubular welded steel structure painted with top quality varnish. Rollers are supported on two ends of structure. There are castor balls which allow easy loading of glass. Rollers are driven by electric motor with infinite speed regulator, except FASM-B-1200 which is transported manually. Transmission system is chains with sprocket wheels except FASM-B-1200. After film applying and cutting, this roller table brings glass or mirror automatically to unloading end. Glass transportation could be activated or de-activated either by switch on control panel or foot pedal.

Options

Film Application Machine Inline with Upstream Glass Processing Machines Such As Coating Equipment

Automatic Film Cutting

Film cutting device is composed of a pair of pneumatic cylinder, electromagnetic cutch and heating wire. Heating wire is installed transversely to glass travel direction. After film sticks on glass or mirror from leading edge till tail edge, glass stops on outlet conveyor. Heating wire is activated by pneumatic cylinders automatically and film is then cut. Glass transportation is then activated manually by switch on panel or foot pedal. Glass transportation starts automatically in online film sticking machines.

Double Sides Films Gluing

Some glass requires both surfaces applied with films. This option includes two film supports and film stretcher installed beneath conveyor rollers. Top and bottom surfaces of glass are affixed with films at the same time.

Film Protective Layer Winding

Some films are surface protected with a thin layer. When film is applied on glass, this protective layer is no more necessary and it is peel off. This winding system is used to peel off and wind up the film layer automatically when film is being applied on glass. Winding speed is synchronizes with rollers conveyor speed.

Inline Film Affixing

The film attaching machines could be incorporated online with buyer's existing machines forming a continuous production line. When glass is processed, for example, reflective coating, by upstream machines, glass is applied with films in this machine. This inline design eliminates repeated glass loading and unloading. When this option is selected, inlet and outlet conveyors are excluded. These two conveyors could be included at buyer's disposal. The film application machine shall be inserted in between buyer's upstream and downstream conveyors. Speed of inline film adhibit machine is adjustable so that it is always synchronized with buyer's upstream and downstream conveyors.
