Don t force the pouch some people push the pouch through the laminator to try and laminate faster but this can cause bubbling.
Tension laminate to form cylinder.
Try feeding the pouch slowly to avoid the problem.
To create a consistent laminated product you want constant tension or strain.
Y t y c.
X t x c.
Always laminate to exclude air entrapment.
Allow minimum adhesive dwell time of 15 30 minutes before liner removal 24 hours is preferable.
However unwind rolls with torque control will not create constant tension unless diameter changes and inertia are accounted for.
Provide good roll wrap i e 180 web tension and steering for a wrinkle free laminate.
Ply tension and compression strengths perpendicular to the fibers.
Enter left column of chart and find ratio 7 50.
Tension can be measured by a variety of methods and it can be stated in pounds of force tension.
Solve for tension in longer leg.
Oo 1 0 fo oz 1 0 fz 6 where oo and oz are the nominal hoop and axial stresses in the tubular specimens and fo and fz are the laminate strengths in uniaxial tension.
Silvering and lack of tension.
A common issue in laminating that leads to bubbles may be silvering.
The word tension comes from a latin word meaning to stretch not coincidentally the flexible cords that carry muscle forces to other parts of the body are called tendons.
It is important to fiquantifyfl tension by measuring it so that it can be understood controlled and repeated from one job to the next.
One cylinder will tension both legs of the cable.
One of the laminate coordinates.
α ij i j 1 2 6 entries of inverse of laminate stiffness matrix relating to membrane.
In sizing a cylinder to tension the above cable do not add tension in both legs.
Ply tension and compression strengths parallel to the fibers.
The stretch also known as strain from tension is the paramount issue with lamination.
Provide adequate and uniform nip roll pressure.
Any flexible connector such as a.
The average stresses in a given ply are used to calculate first ply failure and then subsequent ply failure leading to laminate failure.
Use multiplier 7 57 shown on same line.
Ratio a b 15 2 7 50.
Ply level stresses are the commonly used approach to laminate strength.
Tension 7 57 x 3 000 lbs.
Silvering is when bubbles are formed under the laminate because of lack of heat lack of tension or both.
One of the laminate coordinates.
Increase the feed spool s tension one of the reasons for bubbling is inadequate tension between the paper and the pouch leading to air getting trapped.
The analysis of laminates by the use of a ply by ply model is presented in section 4 3 and 4 4.
One of the laminate coordinates.
Tension is the fipullfl in the web or the force that is pulling the web through the machine.
