High-performance 5-axis application robot configured (one arm or two arms) to suit demands for different levels of productivity. iBotic solves all problems related to application consistency, repeatability, operator health, glue application precision accounting for the difference between flat surface and edge of panels, this solution also avoids soiling the reverse side of the panel with glue.
Water needs to evaporate from the glue before the PVC foil is applied. This solution takes care of panels where glue has not been applied to the edges.
Trimming the excess foil can be done manually, but greater efficiency and precision can be achieved with an automatic solution enabling one or two operators to dedicate their time to more important tasks. Processing speed is also much faster than manual trimming and a 3D camera enhances precision on all shapes and guarantees maximum precision.
In the cutting and gluing process, the type of glue should be chosen according to the end use of the component and the performance goals to be obtained. For example, the glue type changes according to whether an item is to be used in the bathroom, kitchen or living room.
In addition, the desired degree of finish and gloss must be evaluated. Finally, the required output should be considered to determine the type and number of presses, and the number of application and (possibly) cutting machines needed.
