Advanced level - FOM moduloR2R

The FOM moduloR2R is a highly capable, modular roll-to-roll pilot line platform. The base model consists of unwind, rewind, oven and slot die stations for simple pilot-scale thin film production. This can be easily customized and optimized for a given coating process through the addition of a wide variety of machine modules and process stations. The FOM moduloR2R makes it simple to design the perfect production line for a particular process, representing an ideal first step from R&D to full-scale fabrication.

To accommodate the flow of the research process the FOM moduloR2R provides a flexible system that allows facile experimental set-up, data collection, and operation.

Coating & printing methods

The FOM moduloR2R facilitates the integration of multiple coating and printing methods into the machine frame, for example, slot-die coating and flexographic, inkjet, or rotary screen printing. In principle, any deposition method can be integrated. Designed to handle a wide range of substrates it is currently running with carbon fiber tows, multiple plastics, paper, metal foils, and flexible glass.

Features and benefits:

• An integrated, extensive, and self-diagnostic monitoring software system with Ethernet access that provides easy service support and offers remote service as well as maintenance supervision.
• Inbuilt industrial reconfiguration based on a new PLC platform the machine is Industry 4.0 ready. This allows facile reconfiguration for industrial production once your research is ready for technology transfer to a pilot or commercial phase
• Pre-treatment with web cleaning. Contact or contactless.
• Pre-treatment with either Corona or plasma unit.
• Flexographic and gravur printing stations, servo-driven with register control and slow-run function
• Multiple Full-width or stripe-pattern slot-die coating head with automatic registration system
• Vertical or horizontal double pass hot air and IR combination oven (2 meter drying in 1 meter oven) Up to 9m drying tunnel on 2-meter footprint.
