Abrasive Pad Adhesive Curing

Precision Control Systems engineered a custom web handling and drying system for adhesive coated abrasive padding, designed to provide precise control and safe handling during continuous roll-to-roll processing.  

System Overview:

This system utilizes two focused infrared heaters to efficiently dry adhesive on a moving web of abrasive material. The heaters deliver concentrated thermal energy directly across the web path, ensuring uniform drying performance while protecting system components during narrow web runs.

Key components include:

  • Focused infrared heaters with motorized vertical positioning for optimal alignment and heat targeting
  • Cooling plates positioned near the web path to shield backing rollers during narrow web operation
  • Unwind reel with mechanical brake for stable tension control
  • Rewind system with variable speed drive for synchronized take-up
  • Fume exhaust connection for safe removal of adhesive vapors
