Vacuum Tables Enhance Industrial Processes

Vacuum tables are used in a multitude of commercial and industrial processes, providing powerful vacuum force to enhance automated procedures.  Vacuum table systems enhance processes by providing consistency, improving quality and reducing processing time, used in demanding applications to provide part integrity with tight tolerances.  Vacuum systems hold substrates security in place with maximum force, ensuring a consistent process. 

Vacuum Tables Used in a Multitude of Processes

Vacuum tables are used a multitude of commercial and industrial applications, including the following:

• CNC Machining – vacuum tables enhance CNC (computer numerically controlled) applications with consistent and powerful vacuum force during critical processes
• Ultrasonic Cutting – vacuum systems deliver maximum hold down force to hold parts securely in place during precision processes. 
• Material Handling Systems – Vacuum systems assist in maintaining part integrity when moving products from one area to another, keeping parts from free falling or being damaged by breaking and scratching
• UV Curing – vacuum chucks are useful in UV curing procedures, ensuring accurate curing area by holding parts in place during UV exposure
• Screen Printing – vacuum systems hold a wide variety of substrates in the desired position while a printing process is applied for complete printing coverage with precision accuracy
• Automotive – vacuum tables maintain part integrity during precision processes and transportation
• Several other commercial, industrial and manufacturing processes which require high performance with consistent output.

Flame Treatment Proven to Improve Adhesion to Plastics

Plastics are generally nonporous and nonresponsive to bonding with other substrates such as coatings, varnishes, laminates, inks and lacquers.  Treating plastic products with a flame treatment machine alters the surface by causing a molecular reaction which allows for easier adhesion.  While there are other methods available to treat plastic products to allow for easier bonding, flame treating plastic products is proven safe, effective and efficient.   

Some manufacturing processes may use other methods to treat plastic parts, although they might not be as effective and cost-efficient as flame treatment.  Plastic products can be treated with applying a chemical coating such as a primer to allow for easier adhesion to inks and coatings.  This requires the use of chemicals, however, which can pose a safety risk to employees and may be hazardous to purchase and store.  Chemically treating plastic parts to prepare for a bonding application may result in inconsistencies due to varying parameters during drying time and evaporation.  

Other pretreatment machines include a corona treater or a plasma treater, in addition to the flame treatment machine.  The corona treater is used typically on foils and films to increase the surface energy which increases the ability of adhesion.  A plasma treating machine improves the adhesive quality on the surface of plastic by eliminating organic and inorganic surface contaminants.  Plasma treaters are effective on specific polymers, elastomers, glass and metals.  

Flame treatment systems are used to pretreat the surface of plastics improving their surface tension, wettability and allow adhesion during many processes including:  

• Bonding
• Laminating
• Coating applications
• Painting
• Printing processes 
  With a flame positioned precisely toward the plastic product with temperatures carefully controlled, flame treatment is effective at causing the required chemical reaction quickly and without causing the plastic to melt.  In many situations a flame treatment machine may be used rather than a plasma or corona treater.  The pretreatment specialists at Systematic Automation can help you determine when a flame treatment machine would be the best choice for your process.
