Help...Jet-Melt 3796 adhesive stick into tight tolerance film
Currently we create what we call a pancake. We take 3M Jet-melt 3796 (must use this) which comes in a glue stick, and cut into a 1/4inch puck. We put it in between two sheets of PFA plastic sheeting. Then we use 8 tons of pressure in a heated hydrualic press to create a pancake. We have a tight tolerance of .0030 to .0040 inches thick. The hydraulic press has not been accurate enough to perform this task. We throw out 70% of our material. I am trying to find an outside vendor who can take our supply of adhesive and use a different process like roller forming or perhaps even the hydraulic press method if they can get the tolerances correct. Honestly any method will do as long as the tolerances can be reached.
Does anyone know of such a company who would perform this? I have looked everywhere and cannot find one. We can ship within the continental United States, so anywhere in the US would be fine. Please help! Thanks.
