Technical Working Principle
The hot press laminating process uses controlled heat and pressure to bond decorative films (PVC, TPU, synthetic leather, etc.) to plastic substrate parts such as dashboard trims, door strip covers, and air vent bezels.
Key Components:
Upper & lower aluminum hot press molds
Servo-driven or pneumatic press system
Adjustable temperature control (120–160°C)
Film tensioning & positioning system
PLC + HMI touchscreen interface (English)
Optional vacuum suction table and cutting units
Standard Production Process
1. Loading :
The base plastic part is placed onto a precision fixture (manually or via robotic arm).
2. Pre-heating
The press molds heat up to the target temperature for adhesive activation.
3. Film Feeding
Decorative film is positioned over the workpiece using a roll feeder or sheet loader.
4. Hot Press Lamination
The upper mold descends to apply pressure and heat simultaneously, bonding the film to the curved substrate.
5. Dwell & Cooling
A short dwell time ensures the adhesive sets, followed by cooling to maintain shape.
6. Trimming
Excess film is trimmed away for a clean final profile.
7.Unloading
The laminated part is removed and the next cycle begins.
Cycle time: 15–30 seconds depending on part size and film type.
