LA330FM - a multipurpose laminator for functional materials

The solar cell life cycle is critical. To protect the open cells better an encapsulation must be used. GM offers a range of laminators with support for self-adhesive lamination, UV lamination, and hot lamination

Characteristics

The LA330 is a multi-purpose machine.

It can function as a cold laminator, inspection unit, or slitter rewinder depending on the configuration. The unit can work offline as a separate machine or in line with a dancer arm. In inline mode, it is typically connected to a digital press.

It features a special coated laminating nip that ensures curl/wrinkle-free lamination. This is important both for standard web applications like self-adhesive labels and for specialty products like OPV solar cells.

The machine has an easy-to-use touch panel and features step-less electronic tension on both unwind and rewind spindles. A web guide with an ultrasonic sensor is fitted as standard. The web guide has a built-in splice table with two air-controlled clamps. There are many possible options for the machine; rotary knife box, razor blade system, inkjet head, etc.

The rewinder is equipped with air expansion mandrels with sleeves easily exchangeable to other sizes. The rewinder can be set at rewinding label-in or label-out, and many functions are set by the touch display.
