A laminator for high-precision solvent-bonding of retardation films is disclosed. The laminator is capable of producing laminates with high orientation repeatability and low in-plane stress which can otherwise create gaps between optimum theoretical performance and that which is physically realizable. Batch-mode laminators are scalable to large area mother-sheets and are suited to high-throughput manufacturing.

The present application relates to a laminating machine, including a first heating device, a first sheet material device, a second sheet material device, and a first combining device, the first combining device includes a heating mechanism and a rolling mechanism.

The present invention relates to a method for surface coating a plane metal substrate, the method comprising the following steps: Providing a coiled plane metal substrate; unwinding the coiled plane metal substrate; applying a polyester based adhesive onto a top surface of the unwound plane metal substrate, and laminating a film comprising a base acrylic layer onto the polyester based adhesive, thereby forming a laminated assembly. The invention further relates to a pre-coated metal substrate obtainable by the method according to the invention, and to a product comprising a pre-coated metal substrate according to the invention.

A bonding method and a bonding device for a flexible panel. In the process of bonding a protective cover plate and the flexible panel, a heated-type optical adhesive is used, the optical adhesive at normal temperature has relatively low viscosity and the viscosity thereof is below a bondable threshold, so that before the flexible panel and the edge of the protective cover plate are bonded, the optical adhesive and the edge of the protective cover plate come into contact in advance and then can be effectively separated, thus poor bonding in a bending region is avoided, the risk of generating bubbles and cracks is small, and the bonding yield can be improved. Moreover, the optical adhesive is increased in viscosity after heated, thereby ensuring that the flexible panel is bonded to the protective cover plate.

The present disclosure relates to methods for making elastomeric laminates that may be used as components of absorbent articles. The methods and apparatuses may be configured with a plurality of elastic strands wound onto a beam, wherein one or more elastic strands comprises a spin finish. During assembly of an elastomeric laminate, the beam is rotated to unwind the elastic strands from the beam. A portion of the spin finish may be removed from the advancing elastic strand with a spin finish removal apparatus. The spin finish removal apparatus may be configured to apply detergent to an advancing elastic strand and may also wipe and/or dry the advancing elastic strand. The treated stretched elastic strand may then be connected between a first substrate and a second substrate. In some configurations, adhesive may be applied to the treated the elastic strand, the first substrate, and/or the second substrate.

A roll press machine that presses-forming of a work is disclosed in which a plurality of electrode layers having been baked on a metal foil. The material is supplied as a work W into a gap between a lower roll and an upper roll for consolidating. As the work travels through the gap, a controlling device is configured to maintain the gap larger than a consolidating gap until the front edge of the work passes through the gap by a first predetermined distance, then maintain the gap equal to the consolidation gap until the rear edge of the work arrives downstream of the gap by a second predetermined distance, and maintain the gap larger than the consolidation gap until the rea edge leaves the gap.
