Integrated Thermal Compression Platform for Both FOG and FOB Processes with Sequential Rework Capability
The OL-FF-173 by Olian Automatic Equipment Co., Ltd. is a versatile semi-automatic bonding machine designed for medium-sized display modules up to 17.3 inches. It uniquely supports both FOG (Film-on-Glass) and FOB (Film-on-Board) processes—including pre-bonding, main bonding, and rework functions—all within a single integrated platform. This makes it ideal for pilot lines, small-batch production, or repair stations handling mixed product types.
The system features a single-side, multi-segment architecture that can process up to 6 FPCs or 6 PCBs along one edge of a panel in sequence. Operators can configure the machine to run FOG only, FOB only, or FOG followed immediately by FOB—without changing hardware. If both are enabled, the machine automatically completes all FOG steps first, then proceeds to FOB bonding on the same unit.
For FOG mode, the operator places the LCD panel on the glass worktable and activates vacuum suction. They then position the FPC(s) on the FPC stage and perform rough alignment. Using a live monitor feed, they fine-tune alignment visually. After pressing both start buttons, the pre-press head descends to temporarily bond the first segment. The platform then shifts automatically to the next position. This repeats until all pre-press zones are complete. Finally, the platform moves to the main bonding station. The main press head applies full heat and pressure to cure all segments at once.
If FOB mode is also enabled, the machine returns to the FOG pre-press station—but now treats the bonded module as a “panel” for FOB processing. The operator places a PCB on the worktable, aligns it with the existing FPC leads, and initiates another bonding cycle. This seamless transition eliminates manual transfer between machines and reduces handling damage.
All loading, alignment, and unloading occur from the same front position, improving ergonomics and workflow consistency.
Both pre-press and main-press heads operate within a temperature range of room temperature to 400°C, with surface uniformity held to ±5°C—ensuring reliable ACF curing. Bonding time is adjustable from 0.1 to 99.9 seconds.
Force output is independently controlled:
Standard press head dimensions are:
All heads are made of high-wear-resistant material and can be customized to match specific COF or PCB layouts.
The machine uses physical controls including Φ24 mm start and vacuum buttons, plus a Φ22 mm emergency stop switch. A three-color signal lamp indicates operational status (ready, running, fault). While the document does not specify PLC or touchscreen use, the process is fully automated once started—minimizing operator error.
Safety is reinforced by the dual-hand start requirement, preventing accidental activation during alignment.
Olian includes one Chinese-language operation manual. On-site training lasts one day and covers installation, parameter setup, common troubleshooting, and replacement of wear parts. Duration can be adjusted by mutual agreement.
The machine carries a 12-month warranty under normal operating conditions. Consumable parts and damage from misuse or force majeure are excluded. During the warranty period, if remote support fails, an engineer will arrive on-site within 72 hours. Lifelong technical support is provided beyond the warranty term.
The OL-FF-173 excels in environments requiring flexibility and rework capability—such as:
Its ability to perform FOG → FOB in one continuous flow significantly reduces cycle time and improves yield compared to using two separate machines.
