The Spi-Auto Frame™ automatically dispenses edge sealant and installs frames on module laminates. A hot melt sealant is injected into each frame section to provide a cushion and adhere the sections to the laminate. Frame sections are fastened together with either corner keys or screws, as determined by the frame design. A conveyor system and aligner provide automated laminate loading, alignment and unloading.
