Preparation: The bonding site needs to be clean and dust-free. The ambient temperature is preferably 10-40℃and the relative humidity is <75%. The dark brown side of the guide rail soft tape is the bonding surface, and the blue or green side is the working surface.

Cutting: The cutting size of the soft tape of the guide rail can be appropriately placed with some margin according to the actual size of the bonding surface of the metal guide rail. The width of one side can be 2-4mm more, and it can slide when placed and pasted. The length of one side can be 20-60mm more, which is convenient for both ends to be tightened when pasting.

Cleaning: Before bonding, it is necessary to remove the rust and oil from the bonding surface of the metal rail. You can use sand cloth, sand paper or steel wire brush to remove the rust impurities, and then wipe clean with acetone and dry. If the oil stain of the old machine tool is serious, you can wash it with NaOH lye first, and then scrub it with acetone. If possible, you can also sandblast the metal rail bonding surface. At the same time, scrub the dark brown adhesive surface of the soft tape with acetone and dry it for use.

Glue: The special glue for the guide rail soft tape is mixed in a 1:1 ratio of Group A and Group B, and the glue can be applied after mixing evenly.You can use a toothed scraper or 1mm thick bakelite to apply glue. The special glue for the guide rail soft tape can be applied longitudinally on the metal guide rail and horizontally on the guide rail soft tape, which should be even. The adhesive layer should not be too thin or too thick. The thickness of the adhesive layer should be controlled between 0.08-0.12mm. 

Paste: After the guide rail soft tape is pasted on the metal guide rail, it needs to creep around back and forth, left and right to make it fully contact. Use hand or wooden rolling pressure roller to squeeze from the center of the length of the flexible belt of the guide rail to both sides to remove air bubbles. For large and medium-sized machine tools, BOPP sealing tape can be used for positioning. 

Curing: proceed at room temperature, curing time: 24 hours. Curing pressure: 0.06-0.1MPa, pressurization must be uniform, you can use the weight of the machine table itself to reverse the pressure on the machine tool guide rail, if necessary, add weight. In order to prevent the extruded glue from sticking to the machine tool rail, you can pre-lay a layer of oil seal paper or a layer of machine oil on the machine tool rail surface. 

Processing: After curing, you should first push the worktable in the direction of the guide rail, and then lift and turn it over, remove the excess glue, and cut off the excess guide rail soft tape along the direction of the metal rail bonding surface, and then chamfer. The soft belt has good scraping performance, and must be fully cooled by flooding coolant during machining, and the feed amount should be small. The way of opening the oil hole and oil groove of the soft belt is the same as that of the metal guide, but it is recommended that the oil groove generally not penetrate the soft belt. The depth of the oil groove can be 1/2-2/3 of the thickness of the soft belt, and the oil groove should be at least 6 mm away from the edge of the soft belt.
