Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser film processing technology, specifically to an automated tooling equipment for processing laser films. Background Technology

[0002] Laser packaging is a sub-sector of the packaging industry that has experienced rapid development. Compared to other products in the packaging industry, laser packaging materials not only have a novel and attractive appearance but also possess advanced anti-counterfeiting features, making them a cutting-edge technology in the global packaging and printing industry. The application fields of laser materials are already very broad, with rapid adoption in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, daily chemical products, tobacco and alcohol, clothing, gift packaging, and decorative materials.

[0003] Laser film typically employs computer-aided dot matrix lithography, 3D true-color holography, and multi-dimensional and dynamic imaging technologies. Through molding, holographic images with rainbow dynamics and three-dimensional effects are transferred to PET, BOPP, PVC, or coated substrates. Then, methods such as lamination, hot stamping, and transfer are used to achieve a specific laser-etched effect on the surface of the product packaging.

[0004] Laser film processing requires automated arms to transfer products between various workstations. Typical arms only have two rotation nodes, resulting in a poor adjustment range and inability to accurately locate positions. Utility Model Content
