LAMINATE BACKER SHEET INDEXING:
Position backer sheet aligned to the substrate board edge. Backer
must be aligned to the substrate edge and not overhang.
1F)
PROCESS OF BONDING:
A heat tunnel with heated or cold nip
rollers can be used or a conventional hot or cold press. Regardless
of the process, the face sheet indexing above must be maintained as
specified.
2. PRE-PRODUCTION: ENGINEERING & CNC OPERATIONS
2A)
ENGINEERING:
Load cut file for the job into the CNC for
cutting. Set machine to remove entire cavity for checking depth
measurement.
2B)
TEST MACHINING:
It is recommended that a test piece of core
is run, measured and dry fitted to ensure proper machining and fit
before processing.
2C)
IMPORTANT PARTS OF CAVITY:
a. Flange for heat sink (measured from top of flange to bottom of
cavity where contract pads are, which is 13.31mm or .524 inch)
b. Blower screws recess area
c. Power board support flange
d. Structural support of area with exception of area cut out for
contact pads
2D)
CAVITY PERIMETER CUT:
a. Formica Group requires using a perimeter cut for the contact
pad area. MDF/Particleboard/Plywood will be removed after CNC
cut is complete. For this perimeter cut, we recommend to use
1/4" or 3/8" bit.
2E)
BOTTOM/UP CNC PROGRAMMING:
Formica Group
understands that CNC programs differ. Formica Group will supply
CAD files that will have bottom/up measurements of the cavity. Our
recommendation is to cut cavity using a bottom/up measurement
from the vacuum table. By doing this, CNC machine will reference
and cut to the deepest measurement of cavity, which is 2.3mm
(which will cut to the very back of the Intentek
™
decorative face
sheet). If CNC programming requires top/down measurements,
fabricator will need to adjust CNC Cut file.
2F) OPTIONAL CONFIRMATOIN OF MEASURMENTS:
Prior
to fabrication, should fabricator want to confirm that laminate
measurements match the CNC Cut file, do not measure from the
decorative side where the charging icon is placed. Center point
measurements can be made from backside of laminate as shown
below.
