NovaStar, LC181, Laminating and Sheeting (Cross-Cutting) Machine, New, 1,524 mm (60 in) Web Width, 2,540 mm (100 in) Sheet Length (New)

NovaStar, LC181, Laminating and Sheeting (Cross-Cutting) Machine, New, 1,524 mm (60 in) Web Width, 2,540 mm (100 in) Sheet Length

Description

  1. Overview
    1. New laminating and sheeting (cross-cutting) machine for carbon fiber composite fabric, built to order, 60 in (1,524 mm) web width
    2. Two webs are unwound under tension control and web guided; before the nip a stripper roll peels the release film from one web and the release paper from the other onto two take-up stations
    3. The two fabric faces are then laminated through a driven nip and fed to a stop-and-cut cross cutter, producing sheets 100 in (2,540 mm) long on a servo belt receiving table
    4. Cold process, no heating
  2. Main Parameters
    1. Web width: 60 in (1,524 mm)
    2. Roller width: 1,700 mm
    3. Line speed: 30 m/min, adjustable
    4. Sheet length: 100 in (2,540 mm)
    5. Raw material: carbon fiber composite fabric
    6. Roll weight: approximately 300 lb (136 kg) per roll
    7. Cores: 3 in (76 mm); maximum roll diameter 12 in (300 mm)
    8. Overall length: 4,054 mm (3,054 mm belt feeder section plus 1,000 mm unwind and laminating section)
    9. Overall height: 1,650 mm
    10. Power: 480 V, 3-phase, 4-wire
    11. Compressed air: 5 to 8 kg/cm²
    12. Noise: below 75 dB
    13. Ambient temperature: 10 to 50 °C
    14. Color: grey white RAL 7035
  3. Unwind
    1. 2 unwind stations, one per web, each with magnetic powder tension control, for rolls up to 300 lb (136 kg)
    2. Safety chucks for 3 in (76 mm) cores, maximum roll diameter 12 in (300 mm)
    3. Ultrasonic web guide on both webs to keep them aligned: correction range ±75 mm, accuracy ±1 mm, driven on linear guides
    4. Manual splicing
  4. Liner Take-Up
    1. 2 take-up stations ahead of the nip, one for the release film and one for the release paper
    2. Stripper roll on each web peels the liner before the nip: the release film from one web and the release paper from the other
    3. Safety chucks for 3 in (76 mm) cores, maximum roll diameter 12 in (300 mm)
  5. Laminating
    1. 2 nip rolls, both positively driven, with adjustable nip pressure
    2. Top nip roll rubber covered, bottom nip roll stainless steel
    3. Fixed-length feeding to the set parameters
    4. Innomotics (Siemens) servo motors
  6. Cross Cutting
    1. Cuts the laminated material into sheets 100 in (2,540 mm) long
    2. Stop-and-cut: the line stops at the set length and the knife cuts
    3. Knife traverse driven by an air cylinder
    4. Pressing mechanism beside the cutter so the material does not shift while it is cut
  7. Receiving Table
    1. At least as long as the cut sheets, 100 in (2,540 mm) minimum
    2. Servo belt feeder, 2,700 mm long
    3. Sheets are removed by hand
  8. Electrical Control
    1. Siemens PLC
    2. Siemens color touch screen HMI for line speed, finished length, unwind and rewind parameters and tension control, with help and fault pages
    3. Emergency stop buttons
    4. Electrical cabinet with fan cooling
    5. Siemens low-voltage electrical components
    6. More than 30% spare I/O points and storage; shielded wiring against interference
    7. CE certified
  9. Safety
    1. Guards over exposed rotating parts, painted yellow
    2. Emergency stop buttons at the cutting unit, the conveyor table and the main HMI
    3. Warning labels for electric shock, burns and pinch points
  10. Service and Documentation
    1. Installation, commissioning and operator training at the buyer's plant, 10 to 15 working days, by one mechanical and one electrical engineer
    2. 12 month warranty after acceptance
    3. Common spare and wear parts and special tools included; spare parts supplied within 7 working days
    4. Operation manual and electrical circuit diagram
    5. Lead time: 90 working days from deposit
