A high-speed lamination machine includes a hinged, clamshell lid, and clamped lamination chamber that uses localized and thermally isolated heating and stepper driven separation pin motion. Pneumatically actuated rollers in a track clamp the lamination chamber closed during operation. The clamshell design obviates the need for a hydraulic press and makes the lamination chamber easily accessible to other automated systems, so robots may be used to place lamination elements within the chamber.

The present disclosure provides a laminating device. The laminating device may include a first conveying device, a second conveying device, and a laminating apparatus. The first conveying device may be configured to convey a film-like structure. The second conveying device may be arranged along a conveying direction of the first conveying device. A conveying speed of the first conveying device may be greater than that of the second conveying device. The second conveying device may receive the film-like structure conveyed by the first conveying device. The film-like structure may form a folded portion on the second conveying device. The laminating apparatus may be configured to convey an object to be laminated and receive the film-like structure conveyed by the second conveying device. The film-like structure with the folded portion may be laminated with the object to be laminated on the laminating apparatus.

A substrate laminating apparatus includes: a first holding mechanism configured to hold a first substrate; a second holding mechanism configured to hold a second substrate and change a distance between the first substrate and the second substrate; a load detecting mechanism configured to detect a load originated from a surface tension acting between the first substrate and the second substrate; and a driving mechanism configured to control a distance between the first substrate and the second substrate based on a detection value of the load detecting mechanism.

A window manufacturing system includes a first processing unit in which a process of providing a dummy substrate on a stage is performed, a second processing unit in which a process of providing a dummy adhesive layer on the dummy substrate is performed, a third processing unit in which a process of providing a window layer on the dummy adhesive layer is performed, and a fourth processing unit in which a process of providing a protective cover on the window layer is performed.

The present disclosure relates to assembling elastic laminates that may be used to make absorbent article components. Methods herein may include an anvil adapted to rotate about an axis of rotation, wherein first and second spreader mechanisms adjacent the anvil roll are axially and angularly displaced from each other with respect to the axis of rotation. During the assembly process, a substrate may be advanced in a machine direction onto the rotating anvil. The first spreader mechanism stretches a first elastic material in the cross direction, and the second spreader mechanism stretches a second elastic material in the cross direction. The stretched first and second elastic materials advance from the spreader mechanisms and onto the substrate on the anvil roll. The combined and elastic materials may then be ultrasonically bonded together on the anvil to form at least one elastic laminate.

A laminating device is adapted to laminate a plurality of sheet members on a lamination stage and includes: a plurality of laminating heads 2 that each has a curved holding surface; a drum section in which the plurality of laminating heads are arranged, the drum section holding each laminating head, and rotation of the drum section causing each laminating head to advance to a laminating position facing a planar lamination surface; and a rolling motion mechanism that rolls the holding surface on the lamination surface so that a delivery point of the sheet member moves from a rear end to a front end of the sheet member while each laminating head is caused to move by the drum section.
