GESTEUERTES, VAKUUMUNTERSTÜTZTES LAMINIERGERÄT UND VERFAHREN ZU DESSEN VERWENDUNG

摘要

Steered vacuum-assisted laminating apparatus and methods of using the same are disclosed. The apparatus includes a vacuum-assisted laminator for applying large format films to substrates where lamination pressure is generated at least partially by a vacuum drawn in a vacuum cavity. The apparatus also includes a steering system to control the vertical position the laminator and a vehicle to move the laminator along the substrate in a desired direction.
