No hologram can be created without the help of proper machines. Nowadays, there are wide variety of hologram products available in the market for various purposes. There are security holograms, promotional holograms, hologram for displays, hologram for packaging, decorative holograms and many more. Proper machines are used to make various holograms. Hologram machinery produces hologram film, hot stamping foil to make various products.

Technical Specifications Description and Specification varies from machine to machine but certain technical specifications that are to be considered are as follows: WIDTH Maximum Web Width Minimum Web Width HALF TURRET UNWINDER Maximum Roll Diameter Inside Core Diameter Direction of Unwinding Maximum Design Speed TYPICAL SUBSTRATE RANGE Polyester Polypropylene- (OPP/ BOPP) SIMPLEX REWINDER Maximum Roll Diameter Inside Core Diameter Direction of Rewinding TENSION RANGE Unwinder Rewinder DC MOTOR WITH DIGITAL DC DRIVES Main Motor Rewinder Motor Unwind Brake Heating System Max.

List of Holographic Machines

The hologram machinery can be listed below:

2d/3d Master Shooting System

There are two types of 2D/3D master shooting.

• One to shoot master by H1 glass to make hologram text or image in background. To shoot in this type, we have to control position platform manually. This is an easy way.
  
  
• Another to shoot master by hologram image maker facility directly. Here, all fore ground image and background image can be shot in same way. There is no need to make H1 glass for background first.

Two different 2D/3D master shooting requires two different position localization equipment-one the manual positioning equipment and the other automatic positioning equipment.

Machines used
This shooting system includes the following machines

• Microprocessor-Controlled Automatic Positioning Equipment: 3D process machine controlling the master shooting according to the presetting parameter.

Hologram Electronic Forming Machine

Electronic forming machine is used to duplicate nickel operation shim from hologram mother shim for further processing of hologram embossing. There are two types of this machine:

• Small hologram electronic forming machine
• Big hologram electronic forming machine

Both the types serve the same purpose only the sizes are different. This machine is again of two types: hard electronic forming tank to produce hologram operation shim and soft electronic forming tank to produce hologram master origination.


Specifications to Consider

• Max electronic formed size
• Voltage std.
• Power consumption
• Dimension

Hot Melt Adhensive Coating Machine

The machine is used to coat hot melt glue onto Hologram Hot Stamping Foil.

Automatic Die-cutting Machine

This machine is used to die-cut hologram sticker precisely and fast. It has slitter which can cut big hologram sticker roll into small rolls.

Manual Die-cutting Punch

This machine can die cut sticker panel by panel.
