OL-F006 – 7-Inch Dual-Station Manual FOG Bonding Machine

OL-F006 – 7-Inch Dual-Station Manual FOG Bonding Machine with Dual-Lens Upper-Lower Alignment

The OL-F006 by Olian Automatic is a high-precision manual FOG (Fpc-on-Glass) bonding machine designed for thermal compression of flexible printed circuits (FPC) or touch sensor flexes onto rigid LCD panels up to 7 inches. Featuring dual independent workstations, this system enables efficient, repeatable bonding for small-batch production, pilot lines, and display repair applications.

Unlike standard bonders, the OL-F006 integrates simultaneous upper-lower optical alignment with front-rear platform motion, allowing operators to achieve micron-level accuracy through direct visual matching of panel and FPC fiducial marks—without automated vision software.

Core Functionality

This machine performs final main bonding only. It assumes that anisotropic conductive film (ACF) has already been pre-laminated onto either the glass panel or the FPC. The OL-F006 does not apply ACF, nor does it support IC or COF bonding. Its sole purpose is the thermal curing of pre-aligned FPC-to-glass or touch-flex-to-glass assemblies.

Dual-Station Workflow

The OL-F006 features two identical, fully independent bonding stations arranged side by side. Each station includes its own:

• Glass panel vacuum platform
• FPC holding stage
• Dual-lens microscope system
• Hot press head

Operators can work on both stations alternately to maximize throughput, or two technicians can operate simultaneously. All loading, unloading, and alignment are performed manually at the front of the machine.

Alignment System: Upper-Lower Dual-Lens Microscopy

The heart of the OL-F006 is its dual optical path alignment system. Two high-resolution lenses—one viewing the panel from below, the other viewing the FPC from above—project real-time images onto a single split-screen monitor. This allows the operator to see both sets of alignment marks simultaneously.

Key optical specs:

• Magnification: 2×
• Field of view per lens: 1.9 mm × 1.4 mm
• Lighting: Coaxial LED illumination for glare-free, shadowless imaging
• Inter-lens distance: Adjustable from 12 mm to 90 mm to accommodate various panel sizes and mark positions

The operator places the panel on the lower glass stage and activates vacuum hold. They then position the FPC on the upper stage. Using manual X-Y adjustment knobs beneath the panel stage, they shift the glass until the panel marks align perfectly with the FPC marks on screen. This “upper-lower” visual method ensures high alignment fidelity without complex software calibration.

Bonding Process

Once alignment is confirmed:

1. The operator presses both start buttons simultaneously with two hands (safety interlock).
2. The bonding platform automatically moves forward into the press zone.
3. The hot press head descends and applies controlled heat, pressure, and time.
4. After the set duration, the head retracts.
5. The platform moves backward to the original loading position.
6. The operator removes the bonded panel.

This front-rear motion keeps the operator’s hands safely away from the hot zone during pressing while maintaining ergonomic access during setup.

Thermal & Mechanical Performance

• Temperature range: Room temperature to 400°C
• Temperature uniformity: ≤ ±5°C across the press head surface
• Bonding time: Adjustable from 0.1 to 99.0 seconds
• Pressure control: 25 N to 400 N, pneumatically regulated
• Standard press head size: 60 mm × 1.0 mm (custom lengths available upon request)

Heating is achieved via embedded cartridge heaters, with temperature monitored by industrial-grade sensors to ensure process stability.

Buffer Material Handling

The machine includes an integrated buffer tape feeding system to protect the FPC during bonding:

• Buffer roll inner diameter: ≥33 mm
• Outer diameter: ≤80 mm
• Feeding pitch: adjustable from 1 mm to 20 mm
• Auto-alarm function: If the buffer tape fails to advance, the system triggers a visual and audible alert to prevent dry bonding

Control System & Safety

• Control unit: Industrial PLC with color touchscreen interface
• Manual controls: Physical start, vacuum, and emergency stop buttons
• Safety features: Dual-hand start requirement, emergency stop switch (Φ22), and automatic platform retraction

All critical parameters—temperature, time, pressure—are set and monitored via the HMI, ensuring consistent results across shifts and operators.

Physical Specifications & Utilities

• Machine dimensions: 900 mm (W) × 860 mm (D) × 1450 mm (H)
• Weight: Approximately 280 kg
• Power supply: Single-phase 220V AC, 2000W, 3-wire (1.5 mm²)
• Compressed air: 0.5–0.7 MPa, flow rate 250 L/min, supplied via Φ8 mm tubing

The compact footprint fits easily into most cleanroom or workshop environments.

Applications

Ideal for bonding:

• FPCs to TFT, IPS, or OLED glass panels
• ON-CELL touch sensor flexes
• IN-CELL touch sensor flexes
• PCB-to-flex or large-end COF-style flexes (note: not bare COF chips)

Commonly used in:

• Automotive display assembly
• Smartwatch and wearable module production
• Industrial HMI panel manufacturing
• Display R&D labs and repair centers

Important Clarifications

• Does NOT bond bare ICs or standard COF modules
• Does NOT apply ACF – requires pre-laminated materials
• No automated alignment – all positioning is manual via visual feedback
