Assembly in Action: Pick-and-Place Machine Puts Adhesive on Bezels for HDTV
When Fralock Corp. (Canoga Park, CA) needed to supply adhesive-backed assemblies for a customer’s high-definition television projectors, it had the experience and the relationships, but not the equipment, to successfully pull the job off.
Fralock, a die-cutter and converter of all types of functional adhesive parts, found this particular job challenging. While the adhesive could be die-cut, the small metal bezel that was to be attached to the adhesive could not. This required the bezel to be assembled to the adhesive and then placed onto a silicone-coated liner one after another in an array to facilitate further assembly at the customer’s plant.
