Provided is a flooring tile manufacturing apparatus includes: a lower sheet supply unit configured to form and supply a lower sheet; a middle sheet supply unit configured to supply a middle sheet joined to an upper side of the lower sheet; a raw material supply unit configured to supply materials having different contents of a filler to the lower sheet supply unit and the middle sheet supply unit; a main roller configured to join the lower sheet and the middle sheet that have been received; a first sheet supply unit configured to supply a print sheet having a color or a pattern to the main roller; a second sheet supply unit configured to supply a transparent sheet to the main roller; and an ultraviolet (UV) coating unit configured to form a UV coating layer on a surface of the transparent sheet.

The invention relates to a method and a device for bonding two substrates, wherein an adhesive is applied to a first substrate and a second film-type substrate consisting of a thermoplastic material is converted into a plasticized state by heating before being bonded to the first substrate.

A composite material is capable of suppressing decrease in the strength, which is caused by bending of fibers of a skin material during the time when the composite material is cured. A composite material is provided with a honeycomb core, a first skin material, a second skin material, a thunder-resistant mesh and a resin material; and the resin material is not arranged in a neighborhood portion which is the region corresponding to the region at the front end of the honeycomb core. A first film adhesive is arranged between the first skin material and the honeycomb core; a second film adhesive is arranged between the second skin material and the honeycomb core; and a fourth film adhesive is arranged in the neighborhood portion of the resin material in a weight per square meter, which is lower than those of the first film adhesive and the second film adhesive.

A laminator device includes advancement means adapted to determine a movement in temporal continuity of a basic sheet/lamina element and of at least one additive sheet/lamina element along a processing direction and a coupling unit adapted to approach and couple the basic sheet/lamina element to the additive sheet/lamina element; the advancement means include at least one tractor device arranged downstream of the coupling unit along the processing direction and adapted to exert a tensile action on the basic sheet/lamina element and on the additive sheet/lamina element in a mutual coupling condition.

A panel that includes at least a substrate of thermoplastic material and a top layer with a printed decor and a translucent or transparent wear layer. The substrate substantially consists of three layers, including a lowermost layer, a central layer and an uppermost layer, all made from thermoplastic material. Additionally, the thermoplastic material of the lower most layer and the uppermost layer is more rigid than the thermoplastic material of the central layer.

Metal plates are placed on opposed surfaces of two heating plates, the metal plates are heated. Then, a hollow plate is placed between the two heating plates, and the two heating plates are moved toward each other. The metal plates, which are heated to a high temperature, are bonded to the outer surfaces of the hollow plate by thermal fusion caused by the heat of the metal plates. After the metal plates are brought into planar contact with the hollow plate, the heating plates are moved away from each other. The heating plates sandwich the hollow plate only for a very short time. Thus, the heat of the heating plates is not transferred excessively to the hollow plate.

A laminating apparatus may include a first conveyor unit having a conveyance speed; a laminating unit disposed downstream of the first conveyor unit, wherein the laminating unit laminates a surface of a glass sheet with a film in a single stroke with the conveyance speed; and at least one first imaging unit disposed upstream of the laminating unit, the at least one first imaging unit correcting a position of the glass sheet entering the laminating unit.

The invention provides a free flowing copolymer between disparate plastic layers to thermally balance between the two differently expanding/contracting materials. The primer layer or thermal balance layer fully encapsulates the PET layer and can absorb the difference between the internal PET layer with any layer bonded to the encapsulated PET without cracking, bending or pitting and can reset into position when the heating/cooling has ended to make planar plastic core sheets for products such as credit cards, gift cards and the like.

A method of forming a composite preform containing multiple laminates is disclosed. The method may include providing a first sublaminate comprising stacked fibers woven into a fabric; providing a second sublaminate comprising stacked fibers woven into a fabric; joining the first sublaminate and the second sublaminate forming a component comprising a region of discontinuity sandwiched between the first sublaminate and the second sublaminate; rigidizing the component; and softening the region between the first sublaminate and the second sublaminate. In illustrative embodiments, the method may include manipulating the region of discontinuity between the first sublaminate and the second sublaminate to reduce the incoherence between the sublaminates by moving fibers from the sublaminates through at least part of the region between the first sublaminate and the second sublaminate.

A system for manufacturing a laminated film, in which a first film and a second film are sequentially laminated, and the system includes: a film supplying part which supplies the first film and the second film; a bonding part which includes a first roll and a second roll that rotate in opposite directions, and compresses the first film and the second film supplied from the film supplying part and bonds the first film and the second film as the laminated film; and a bending inducing part which supports and bends the laminated film bonded and output from the bonding part, in which the second roll shifts in a direction along a circumference of a virtual circle having a larger radius than a radius of the first roll to control the bending of the laminated film.
