Roll Membrane Assembly Lamination for Distortion-Free Processing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for producing membrane assemblies as roll goods lack sufficient stability during processing, leading to potential distortion and inefficiencies.
Innovation Solution
A method involving the use of a first material composite with contour cuts introduced into a frame material without severing a protective film, followed by delamination of the protective film after transfer to a vacuum transport device, and subsequent lamination with a closed carrier web to stabilize the membrane assembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If contour cuts are introduced into frame material without severing protective film, then manufacturing precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The protective film is left intact during contour cutting to provide preliminary stabilization of the frame material. This preliminary action prevents distortion during subsequent processing steps, and the film is removed only when no longer needed, maintaining stability throughout the manufacturing process.
Solution Approach 2:
The protective film acts as an intermediary element that temporarily supports the frame material during processing. It mediates between the cutting process and the final product, providing the necessary stability during manufacturing and then being removed to reveal the finished component.
2Productivity
If protective film is delaminated after transfer to vacuum transport device, then productivity is improved, but manufacturing precision may worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The protective film is removed at a specific periodic point in the manufacturing process - after transfer to the vacuum transport device. This timed removal optimizes productivity by maintaining stability only when needed during critical processing steps, then eliminating the film to prevent interference with subsequent operations.
3Stability of the object's composition
If membrane assembly is laminated with closed carrier web, then stability is improved, but loss of substance increases
Solution Approach 1:
A closed carrier web in the form of a flexible film is used to laminate the membrane assembly. This thin film provides comprehensive stability and support across the entire assembly surface, preventing distortion during handling and processing while using minimal material compared to rigid support structures.
