DRY FILM LAMINATION WITH DYNAMIC FEEDBACK CONTROL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17949276 titled 'DRY FILM LAMINATION WITH DYNAMIC FEEDBACK CONTROL

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure is directed to a position-controlled lamination tool or press that includes an array of pressure sensors and an array of heating/cooling elements for improving thickness variation performance and preventing laminating film bleed out.

  • The tool includes pressure sensors for real-time feedback on thickness variations across a substrate panel.
  • The controller adjusts the temperature output of heating and cooling elements to modify the viscosity of the laminating material in different regions of the substrate panel.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in industries such as manufacturing, printing, packaging, and electronics for precise lamination processes.

Problems Solved

1. Prevents or reduces laminating film bleed out. 2. Improves thickness variation performance.

Benefits

1. Enhanced control over lamination process. 2. Improved product quality. 3. Increased efficiency in production.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing lamination processes in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and construction for better product quality and performance.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be traditional lamination tools that lack real-time feedback mechanisms for thickness variations.

Unanswered Questions

=== How does the technology compare to traditional lamination tools in terms of efficiency and quality control? The article does not provide a direct comparison between the new technology and traditional lamination tools in terms of efficiency and quality control.

=== Are there any limitations to the technology in terms of substrate panel size or material compatibility? The article does not address any potential limitations of the technology in terms of substrate panel size or material compatibility.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure is directed to a position-controlled lamination tool or press that includes an array or plurality of pressure sensors and an array or plurality of heating/cooling elements or components, which may be coupled together, for preventing or reducing laminating film or material bleed out and improving thickness variation performance. The pressure sensors may provide a controller, which is coupled to the lamination tool, with real-time feedback on any thickness variations across a substrate panel and the controller may adjust the temperature output of the heating and cooling elements to locally modify the viscosity of the laminating material in one or more regions of the substrate panel to either decrease or increase the flowability of the laminating material.
