Hot Bar Bonding Machine

09/17/2014 3:16 PM

Has anyone tried to make a DIY device that works like a hotbar bonding machine?I need only from time to time to change FPC( flexible printed circuits) on LCD ,using ACF( anisotropic conductive film),so spending about several thousand USD on that machine is not good for me.Thanks

Have you considered using a strip of (say copper) bar or plate that can transfer the heat from a large wattage soldering iron fairly uniformly and quickly?

Having no clue exactly what you are trying to do:

Consider a hot plate, or copper bar suggested above, covered with Teflon tape.

3M 5451 PTFE Glass Cloth T...$309.00ULINE

Or look at a manual PE bag making machine.

I have built these devices. There are several ways to do this.

1) You can modify a Weller soldering gun.

2) You can use a heater bar from a gas burner ignitor.

3) You can use a nichrome or resistive wire loop

4) You can purchase a used one
