The heating and cooling presses are built from a single welded solid frame, giving the machine very high rigidity. This rigid construction maintains precise parallelism of all platens,
ensuring very accurate laminating.
Both the heating press and cooling press are equipped with multi-hydraulic cylinders. Individual controls for the pressure and feedback system of each cylinder ensure excellent
parallelism of all platens and highly accurate machine operation.
Precise temperature controls along with a sophisticated feed-back system provide even temperature distribution, allowing control of the temperature of a single platen to within
± 1.5° C and the average temperature of the platens to be within ± 1.0° C. Thermal oil is used to heat the heating press using a high-precision heating control system, providing
much better temperature distribution than electrically heated platens.
A constant-temperature oil cooler accurately controls the operating temperature of the hydraulic system, enabling the CL Series machines to run continuously 24 hours-a-day with
consistent laminating quality.
The cooling press is cooled through an optional closed-circuit water chiller that provides excellent temperature control.
A special synchronized mechanical stop device, combined with programmable multi-hydraulic pressure settings in different heating and cooling stages, ensures perfect laminating results even for contactless cards.
To maintain uniform cooling of the material over the complete area, the transfer system between the heating press and the cooling press stabilizes the material in the heated condition by fast transfer into the cooling press.
A touch-screen operator interface with machine dialogue and self-diagnostic troubleshooting makes the CL machines very easy to operate. Interlocked safety guards provide additional safety for the operator.
By having a completely separate heating press and cooling press, the CL Series machines avoid the cost of heating up and cooling down the same platens during the laminating process. This not only saves energy costs, but also reduces cycle time and increases output.
