Nexicor’s Hand Held SINCH™ Induction
Bonding Technology
ABM staff led the
development, patenting and market analysis for the first low cost, hand
held, induction activated instant adhesive and tool systems for widespread
industrial and consumer use. Nexicor’s
SINCH Technology™ is a revolutionary fastening
technology platform that makes difficult fastening jobs simple, safe,
and convenient, by focusing the heat only in the bondline of the area
being fastened. This intelligent bonding stems from the patented SINCH
Technology's™ ability to read the distance to the bond-target
and calibrate the energy needed to achieve precise heating. The SINCH
Technology™ generates a safe electromagnetic field to remotely
activate adhesive tapes through any non-metallic material.
Strong permanent
bonds can be created conveniently and quickly, on-demand. With the proper
adhesive and adhesive patterns, the bond can be optionally reversed
for easy removal or repositioning without damage to the bonded materials.
Costing considerably less than conventional induction heating systems,
this small, lightweight, and safe system meets the needs of both professional
and consumer users in a wide range of applications.
Typical applications
include:
- Flooring and
rigid laminate installation, such as the KoolGlide™
Carpet System
- Product assembly
- bonding wood, plastic, and other non-metallic materials
- Soldering, brazing,
and heat treating
The system can be
used with a wide range of tapes or can be preprinted, with the design
made to meet specific performance and cost requirements. Many conventional
hot melt adhesives, such as ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), polyolefin,
polyamide or polyester based adhesives can be applied to the basic foil
product construction to create double-sided or single-sided tapes. Multiple
adhesives can be used on one tape. For example, tacky areas can be used
to hold the tape in place temporarily before creating a permanent bond
by activating the tool. Tapes can be pre-applied to the substrate or
site applied by the user. Because fastening is done with tapes or is
preprinted, not messy liquid or smelly glues, the dry adhesive isn't
activated until materials are in place.
One highly respected
chemical consulting firm called this one of the biggest innovations
in adhesives in 30 years and well worth a billion dollars in annual
revenue opportunities. While other Fortune 200 firms had spent nearly
thirty years trying to develop such products, it was only when ABM’s
team became involved with Nexicor’s innovative parent Senco
Products, that the breakthroughs arrived via lateral
transfer of several seemingly unrelated technologies from the cell phone,
fabric, plastics and laminate industries.
