INTERIOR COMPONENT WRAPPING
Alliance wants to be your complete source for interior wrapped component production. We specialize in producing wrapping equipment for interior trim components. We provide one-stop shopping for all equipment necessary for the wrapping process: adhesive spray, staple & assembly stations, spray masks, flash ovens, wrap fixtures w/seam alignment, vacuum bladder ovens for heat activated encapsulated urethane adhesives, conventional vacuum bladder machines for non-heat activated adhesives, bladder nesting, edge folding and post-wrap seam inspection tooling and fixtures.
Alliance Industries, Inc. produces a double-sided, heated vacuum oven for the setting of 2-part adhesives, combining pressure and heat to activate the adhesive. Large table sizes are available that allow for cycling of multiple parts per cycle to increase throughput. The double-sided table allows for the loading on one side while the other side remains under pressure in the oven chamber.
Our heated bladder ovens, in combination with our 3-d, fitted bladder is a popular choice for reducing and frequently eliminating the bridging that sometimes occurs with more challenging part features.
Alliance Industries, Inc. produces all of its own bladder tooling on-site. This 5-layer epoxy tooling is capable of withstanding the heat and pressure of a heated vacuum bladder wrap machine. We also produce spray masking for non-wrapped areas that may transfer adhesives to the bladder surface or puncture the bladder membrane. Pressure plugs, if needed, are also available and optional.
Wrap stations are a key component to producing a quality part. Our wrap stations all use 3D-printed ABS locator blocks to locate substrates per datums. Parts are held into the nesting using vacuum. Seam alignment blades or pin locators can be used to locate the cover stock to the substrate.
Traditional vacuum bladder machines - These self-contained machines are perfect for parts that use a PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive) that does not have to be heated. Alliance can also provide full composite, UHMW or Renn 70 nesting cut to your math data on our CNC machines.
Compression bonding machines - This automated machine locates the cover stock to the substrate and provides the pressure to set the PSA. These machines can also edge wrap the back sides of the substrate.
Seam alignment templates & checking tools - 3-D printed, super strong ABS material or NC cut aluminum. These appliances and tools help to ensure a more accurate alignment of seams.
Pre-production assembly equipment - The picture on the left is of a lab-type, single-sided 4' x 5' manual bladder oven for prototyping and limited production. Alliance also produces pre-production vacuum bladder tooling and wrap, staple & assembly stations.
