The challenge
Film path geometry, roller parallelism and nip pressure decide laminate quality, so the structure has to hold the roller bearings in line over the whole machine, and every roller — guide, support, nip, cooling — needs its own detailed assembly. The OEM wanted a complete Solid Edge dataset to replace a mix of older drawings.
Our approach
The main structure was modelled as a fabricated frame assembly with machined pads for the roller bearing housings, and each roller group was built as its own assembly: guide film assemblies with and without support rollers, the coating-side filter and tray assemblies, the lamination-side nip drum with the cooling roll, and the electrical panel construction.
Drawings were issued per assembly in the OEM's DFT template with the fabrication tolerance table, from the main structure assembly through the tray and roller assemblies, with photographs of the built machine used to verify the model during detailing.
What was delivered
The OEM received native Solid Edge assemblies, a 70-plus-sheet drawing set and STEP data for the complete machine, forming the documented baseline for their solventless laminator product.
- Solid Edge machine assembly with roller and tray sub-assemblies
- Fabrication drawings for the main structure
- Machining drawings for rollers and bearing housings
- Electrical panel construction drawings
- STEP export
Standards and conventions applied
- OEM drawing template and tolerance table
