Schober Technology to Produce Multi-Layer Products in One Pass

CINCINNATI, Ohio—Schober USA announces new literature on its Dragon technology for converting multi-layered self-adhesive products in a single pass. The heart of the system is a Central Converting Drum with 5 processing stations to laminate, de-laminate or die-cut materials like film and foil, pressure sensitive paper stock and textiles. Since the workstations are integral to the Central Converting Drum the work-in-process materials stay in register throughout the production process which can include laminating, de-laminating, die-cutting, profile punching, length and cross-cutting, waste extraction, unwinding, rewinding and product delivery. The MLPP-5 is ideal for the cost-effective manufacture of high-precision self-adhesive assembly parts, including cell phones and other communication, automotive and electronic components.

Base material width is 5˝ (129 mm) with a finished part width of 4.3˝ (109mm). Mechanical speeds of 165 ft/min are attainable with maximum production speed dependent upon the product and processes employed. Processing tolerances of +/- .0060˝ (.15 mm) are standard.
