Frame Press

SPC Method for Reducing Glass and Laminate Damage

Step 01
Cut and position a sheet of Fujifilm Prescale® film along the outside perimeter between the frame and the pneumatic push bar/backstop during module alignment and prior to applying edge sealant and corner keys.

Step 02
Instantaneously and permanently the film captures both the pressure distribution and magnitude that occurs between the contacting surfaces.
