Sheet-metal laminators
Sheet-metal laminators, also known as film‑application machines or protective film applicators, apply protective film to the surface of sheet metal to protect it from scratches and damage during subsequent processing. Ours is a patented technology for maximum efficiency and minimal waste.
Sheet-metal laminating systems
Automazioni Meta laminators feature a patented system for the automatic insertion of the protective film inside the machine.
Unlike traditional systems that require multiple operators and constant manual input, our technology manages the entire process autonomously.
This technical solution reduces operating costs and eliminates plastic film waste.
We offer both stand-alone machinery for small-scale production and complete sheet-metal feeding lines for high volumes, with every component perfectly integrated.
Only one operator required
With our automatic film insertion solution, a single operator can manage the entire process.
Less material waste
Our system applies the film perfectly from the very first sheet.
Perfect results from the first piece
Every panel leaves the line with flawless, uniform protection.
Automatic thickness adjustment
Our laminators are CNC-controlled machines: they automatically adjust to the sheet‑metal thickness with precision to the nearest tenth of a millimetre.
Technical specifications
All machines communicate with production management software and are compliant with international standards.
Available widths are 1,500 mm, 2,000 mm and 2,500 mm, with custom formats upon request to suit any production requirement.
Supported formats
Standard widths available: 1,500 mm, 2,000 mm and 2,500 mm, with a minimum width of 450 mm.
Workable thickness range
0.4 mm to 50 mm
Non-standard formats and weights
available on request
Easily integrated into existing lines
whether replacing older machines or added to lines with no pre‑existing provisions
The Automazioni Meta laminator range
Zero Trim Laminator
The Zero Trim laminator is an exclusive Automazioni Meta innovation: it applies the protective film exactly to the sheet‑metal edge, leaving no excess to trim.
With the patented automatic cutting system delivering 0.1 mm precision, plastic waste is eliminated and production costs are optimised.
Every sheet leaves perfectly covered from end to end, ready for subsequent processing.
The ideal solution if you are looking for maximum efficiency and savings on consumable materials.
Zero Trim Duplo Laminator
The Zero Trim Duplo laminator applies protective film to both faces of the sheet metal simultaneously. In a single pass you achieve complete protection of the material, halving processing times and ensuring maximum efficiency.
Ideal for sheet metal intended for processing on both sides, or for premium materials requiring complete protection.
Applies the patented Zero Trim technology on both surfaces, eliminating waste and providing flawless results.
Adjustable-trim sheet-metal laminators
Adjustable‑trim sheet‑metal laminators apply low‑adhesion protective film only where needed, leaving the perimeter areas uncovered as required by production.
Ideal for processing single sheets that require free zones for welding, bending, or subsequent operations.
The trimming management system lets you set the unprotected leading and trailing edges with millimetre precision, optimising the production process. Ideal if you’re looking for operational flexibility without compromising application quality.
Laminator for Coil Lines
The Coil Lines laminator is designed to integrate seamlessly into an existing processing plant, converting it into an automated laminating line.
With its high versatility, it can adapt seamlessly to both Coil‑to‑Coil (rewinding) and Cut‑to‑Length (sheet‑cutting) processes.
Our advanced automatic centring system keeps the film perfectly aligned even at maximum production speeds, compensating in real time for sheet metal movement.
Perfect if you’re looking to upgrade your line without redesigning your existing production layout.
The solution for increasing productivity and efficiency with a targeted, bespoke investment.
Smart Laminator
The Smart laminator is the entry-level model in the Automazioni Meta range, designed to deliver the advantages of Zero Trim technology at an accessible price point.
Thanks to precise management of the gap between sheets, it minimises film waste even with manual cutting by the operator.
The ideal solution if you are looking for efficiency and quality in a simple, reliable semi-automatic configuration.
