1 Injection Molding The MOLDPRO/2 all-electric molding machine is designed for the economic production of CDs and DVDs. Its direct drive concept guarantees highest precision and repeatability to ensure disc quality according to the specifications issued by the Philips Intellectual Property & Standards Organization. The MOLDPRO/2 molding machine is equipped with its own computer control unit and is fully integrated into SPACELINE II and interfaced with PLC. Other qualified DVD molding machines can also be integrated upon request. 2 Spin Cooler Unit Provides fast and homogenous temperature reduction on the discs. Allows handling and managing of the disc halves without deviation and birefringence impact. 3 Input Conveyor An adjustable clean airflow device results in best pre-process conditions for every single substrate. 4 SINGULUS V Metallizer with TMD Sputter Layer Measurement With more than 6000 units, the latest Singulus metallizer has proven its reliability and efficiency with our major customers. Both metalizers in the SPACELINE II are equipped with SMART CATHODES®, allowing the use of a large range of sputter materials. By implementing a closed-loop system between the metalizer and the Thickness Measurement Device (TMD), SINGULUS has exceeded requirements for layer uniformity while also extending target lifetime as compared to other systems on the market. | 5 Bonding Resin Dosing Unit Separate units for degassing, dosing and recycling are combined with an accurate dosing pump in one small, lightweight device. Accommodates a large range of recommended bonding resins. 6 Bonding Station VI2-Bond is installed to prevent air inclusions in the bonded disc at faster bonding times. 7 Spinning Station Dual spin bowls in series for high speed DVD production. 8 UV Curing Station
Eight positions for completed discs, including a blow-off station with exhaust system. 10 Scanner Ready for the latest version of quality inspection units. |
