Abstract:
The invention refers to a system (20) for cooling a pre-laminated printed circuit board in transit between a pre-laminator (4) and a laminator (6). The cooling system comprises: a conditioner (21) suitable for thermally conditioning ambient air, bringing it to a temperature preferably comprised between 8 °C and 12 °C, a distributor (22) communicating with the conditioner and suitable for creating a flow of conditioned air, at a substantially laminar condition, that hits the pre-laminated board, a filter (26) of HEPA type housed in the distributor, a thermocouple (27) for detecting the temperature of the conditioned air at the outlet of the distributor, and a control device (28) connected with the thermocouple and the conditioner for commanding the actuation thereof. In particular, the control device commands the actuation of the conditioner in a manner so as to bring and maintain the temperature of the conditioned air at the outlet of the distributor to/at value that is as close as possible to a predefined temperature. The invention also refers to a module (1) for conveying a pre-laminated printed circuit board from a pre-laminator (4) to a laminator (6), comprising the cooling system (20) that is the subject of the invention.
Abstract:
The invention refers to an apparatus for making a photosensitive film (2) adhere to a multilayer sheet (3) on which the film (2) has been previously extended at at least one face of the sheet, in order to obtain a printed circuit board. The apparatus (1) comprises a movable lower plate (4) at which the sheet (3) is housable with the film (2), a fixed upper plate (5) and a double-acting pneumatic cylinder (7) for moving the lower plate. The lower plate (4) is sealingly couplable with the upper plate to delimit a compartment (6) that is hermetically isolated from the outside environment. A compressor (15) communicates with said compartment (6) in order to create, within the same, an overpressure with respect to the outside environment. Said overpressure presses the film (2) against the sheet (3), causing the mutual adhesion of the same. The invention also refers to a method for making a photosensitive film (2) adhere to a multilayer sheet (3).
