AP PLASMA: automatic in-line plasma bonding preparation

Plasma is a clean bonding preparation technology that replaces the application of primer.

Adhesion following plasma preparation has been shown to improve compared with conventional preparation.
The scanner at the beginning of the cabinet detects the geometry of the sole to determine the path of the robot and the type of material to adjust the plasma intensity.

The scanner at the end of the run performs a quality check of the preparation and eventually separates the soles that need to be reworked.
