SYSTEM FOR JOINING SHEETS TO FORM A BELT

摘要

A system for joining a first sheet (10) to a second sheet (11), wherein the first and second sheets have a first layer and a second layer, including a first rigid plate (6); a gas absorbing layer on the first rigid plate; positioning the second sheet having a first layer (52) and a second layer (54) on the gas absorbing layer (8); wherein an edge of the of the first sheet abuts an edge of the second sheet; a second rigid plate on top of the first and second sheet; a press for applying pressure to the first sheet edge and second sheet edge; and a laser for welding the edge of the first sheet to the edge of the second sheet through the second rigid plate.
