Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent control, and in particular to a method for optimizing tape coating based on intelligent image analysis. Background Technology

[0002] The coating and drying process of adhesive tapes (pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, functional film tapes, etc.) is characterized by "complex materials, diverse indicators, strong coupling, and long hysteresis". Compared with general film coating, tape coating also has the added requirement of strict requirements for viscoelasticity-rheology, surface energy and interfacial adhesion of pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) system, making the control more complex.

[0003] High-end tapes (such as optical tapes for OLED displays and insulating tapes for lithium battery tabs) require coating thickness tolerances controlled within ±2~5μm, while also requiring transverse thickness profile (CD direction) fluctuations of less than 3%, which traditional open-loop processes struggle to consistently meet. This is especially true for medical tapes and electronic tapes, where issues like edge "fogging," "adhesive creep," and "adhesive overflow" directly impact product performance and aesthetics, necessitating increasingly stringent requirements for edge geometric precision.

[0004] Defects such as microbubbles, impurities, missed coatings, and adhesive residues have a significant impact on product performance. Moreover, maintaining quality stability under high-speed coating is a long-term challenge, especially for solvent-based adhesives, which are prone to defects such as bubbles and sagging at high speeds.
