Technical Description Model VCML-1

ERICHSENsince 1910 ERICHSENsince 1910 VCM Coater VCML Lab/Pilot Coater VCM Coater For many years RK has been designing and building Versatile Coating Machines (VCM) for R&D, Pilot and Production applications used across many different types of industries. The VCM is optimised to the specific requirements of each process and can utilise higher specification drives, tension and web control equipment. The heavier framework also enables wider and heavier substrates to be processed while still allowing considerable flexibility to expand or modify the machine as developments or applications change. VCM APPLICATIONS • Printable Electronics • Security - Holograms • Latent Imaging • Medical Diagnostics • Medical Dressings • Fuel Cell and Batteries • Aerospace Composites • Polymeric Semiconductors • Solar Reflective Films ERICHSEN GmbH & C0. KG RK PrintCoat Instruments Ltd. Am Iserbach 14 The VCML is designed to print, coat and laminate all types of flexible webs such as papers, films, and metallic foils on a reel-to-reel basis. With the ability to apply various coatings such as inks, paints, varnishes, adhesives both solvent and water based, by various application methods, this makes the VCML particularly useful for product development, quality control and small scale production for low volume of a specialised product. MAIN FEATURES • Touch screen control system with graphical set-up and operating instructions. • Servo drive with a speed range of 1—50 m/min. • Electronic loadcell tension control. • Rigid aluminium framework. • Integrated electrical and pneumatic controls. • Levelling castors • Plug & Play THE FIRST NAME IN SAMPLE THE FIRST NAME IN SAMPLEpreparation equipment www.erichsen.dewww.rkprint.com preparation equipment www.erichsen.dewww.rkprint.com
