Benefits of using a standardized platform for PSA assembly.

The broad-based acceptance of labeling and film adhesive shows no sign of deteriorating; however, the applicators used to automatically apply these components can be frustrating.

The use of adhesive-backed components is steadily growing as a method for assembling much of today’s technology. Computers, mobile phones and handheld electronic devices all use adhesive components in numerous instances, including labels, insulators, shields, and screens. While this trend is improving product performance, the lack of standardized assembly platforms inhibits the adoption of adhesive technology and its broad-based acceptance.
