Precise Optical Lay-up, Alignment and Welding of Multilayers

The PRS Direct Optical Registration System allows for optical lay-up of multilayers and sequential lamination buid up technology. Three different processes take place in one unit:  lay up, layer to layer alignment and welding. This process eliminates the added tolerances associated with pin lamination.

ADVANTAGES

• Alignment and layer clamping are made in the same location. There is no chance for critical parts wearing and therefore greater accuracy is assured.
• No need to pre-stack; this eliminates extra handling and possible damage to the cores.
• After set-up, cameras are locked in position, resulting in greater accuracy.
• Using the “Unique Target Layers” software allows the machine to mistake proof the build. If the operator places the cores out of sequence the machine will reject misplaced CoreFixed focus lenses with over 8mm range of focus, lenses do not move for focus.
• All slides and moving parts are designed to work in dusty prepreg environment.
• No templates required, can process all panel sizes without needing to change any expensive parts, no tools needed.
• Vision system check position before and after clamping each core.
• Operator loads core and prepeg at the same time on pre-load station.
• Layers can be loaded with certain types of slip sheets if customer requires.
• Programmable weld profiles, including ramp up, hold time and cool down. Similar to a press profile.
• All PRS machines are fully compatible for future upgrading to work with the DataAlign Registration System. This includes the 10 camera CMS - Camera Measurement System. Layer data collection, networking and matching best fitting layers to each other for optimal alignment configuration.
