Designed with advanced technology and user-centric features, the AB3000 has become indispensable for laboratories, R&D facilities, and quality control environments.
Clean the substrate: Ensure the test panel or material is free from dust, grease, or contaminants.
Position the substrate: Secure the panel on the AB3000’s vacuum or adhesive plate to prevent movement during application.
Select the applicator tool: Depending on the desired coating thickness, choose the appropriate wire bar, applicator blade, or tool.
Adjust speed and stroke length: Use the digital interface to set the desired speed and stroke parameters based on material properties and application requirements.
Place a uniform amount of the coating material (paint, varnish, etc.) on one edge of the substrate.
Align the applicator tool to evenly distribute the material across the panel during the stroke.
Start the machine using the control panel.
The applicator tool moves across the substrate, ensuring a smooth, uniform coating layer.
Once the process is complete, the substrate is ready for further analysis or curing.
Carefully remove the coated panel from the platform.
Clean the applicator tools and machine surface to prepare for the next application.
Let’s dive into the features, process, and benefits that make the TQC AB3000 a game-changer in film application.
