Hello, I know I am new here, been lurking for a while and finally signed up to post. I have a fabrication company that has moved into printing and needs a laminator for my business. I can build a flatbed laminator, the only problem is I have not used one and did not look at them at SGIA. I have CNC plasma, milling and welding of all metals at my disposal. I understand electronics and pneumatics. I have studied the Euro versions from CWT, Rolls Roller and Rollover. Looked at the Rogue Roller and sad to see that he is no longer around. Also I see China is moving into the market. I would like to start with my own prototype and if possible start building an affordable made in the USA model.
I am looking for info from users, what is good/bad? What would you like to change? Problems? Anyone know how many pounds of force the pneumatic ram is applying to the material?
Ideas that I will be using in my design:
-LED illumination with tempered glass top
-Cutting mat on glass
-Gantry under table for unobstructed roller
-Substrate roll holders for roller/table
-Straight edge cutter
Possible options
-Adjustable height table
Thanks
