When it comes to mobile screen refurbishing, your OCA (Optically Clear Adhesive) Machine is the heart of your operation. It ensures precision in lamination, bubble removal, and glass alignment. But like any high-performance machine, it depends on the health of its components.

Poor maintenance and careless storage can silently damage key parts and cost you both time and money. That’s why Baba Tools brings you this expert guide on how to properly store and replace OCA machine components, along with a list of our most reliable products to keep your lab running like a pro.

🔹 1. Store Silicone Pads Flat & Clean

Why it matters: Silicone lamination pads play a crucial role in uniform pressure distribution. Warped or dusty pads can cause bubbles, misalignment, or poor adhesion.

Best Practices:

  • Always store flat — never fold or roll.

  • Clean after every use using soft cloth or recommended cleaner.

  • Avoid placing sharp tools on top.

Recommended from Baba Tools:
 ✅ Premium Silicone Lamination Pad
 ✅ Anti-Dust Silicone Pad Cover
 ✅ BABA Pad Cleaner Solution

🔹 2. Keep Vacuum & Air Components Moisture-Free

Why it matters: Components like vacuum pumps and air lines are sensitive to moisture and can fail without warning.

Best Practices:

  • Use moisture-absorbing pads in storage.

  • Disconnect pipes after use to prevent internal condensation.

  • Keep covered when not in operation.

Top Picks from Baba Tools:
 ✅ BABA Vacuum Pump (Oil-Free)
 ✅ Vacuum Line Connector Set
 ✅ Moisture Protection Kit

🔹 3. Allow Proper Cooling for Heating Plates

Why it matters: Heating plates are essential for OCA glue activation. If stored hot or handled roughly, they can warp or short out.

Best Practices:

  • Allow to cool fully before covering or moving.

  • Clean the surface gently to prevent carbon buildup.

  • Store in a temperature-neutral environment.

🔹 4. Organize Small Spare Parts Smartly

Why it matters: Misplacing critical small parts like O-rings, seals, screws, and wires is common and causes downtime during repairs.

Best Practices:

  • Use labeled storage boxes.

  • Categorize by machine type or usage.

  • Keep essential spares within easy reach.

Get Organized With:
 ✅ Multi-Section Tool Organizer Box
 ✅ BABA Bubble Remover Seal Set
 ✅ Spare Screws & Sensor Kit

🔹 5. Know When to Replace Critical Components

Why it matters: Worn or damaged parts silently reduce machine efficiency. Replacing them in time prevents performance issues.

Watch Out For:

  • Bubbles after lamination = Vacuum seal failure

  • Overheating = Faulty sensor or heating plate

  • Uneven pressure = Damaged silicone pad or frame

🔹 6. Avoid Static and Magnetic Damage

Why it matters: Some OCA machine boards and sensors can be damaged by static or magnetic exposure.

Best Practices:

  • Work on anti-static surfaces

  • Store circuit boards in ESD bags

  • Keep magnetic tools away from control units

Protective Gear from Baba Tools:
 ✅ Anti-Static Mat (ESD Safe)
 ✅ ESD Circuit Storage Pouches
 ✅ Static-Free Workbench Kit
