  • An advantage of such a device is that, for example, the electronic components or other raised elements do not have to be positioned and/or fastened in depressions or recesses of a manufacturing component that are to be prepared for this purpose. Rather, the components/devices are reshaped by the heated and thus softened/melted adhesive in such a way that the components/devices in the adhesive layer, which connects the first and the second manufacturing component, are form-fitting are included and from this, at least after cooling of the adhesive and / or pressing of the production components, are difficult to solve non-destructively.

  • the first manufacturing component can be an envelope for a security or book document and the second manufacturing component can be an envelope inlay for a security or book document with an RFID transponder positioned on a surface of the envelope inlay.
  • the surface of the envelope inlay on which the RFID transponder is positioned can be coated with the heated adhesive by the first coating device in such a way that the heated adhesive deforms the RFID transponder so that the heated adhesive forms a planar contact surface on the surface of the envelope inlay .

  • the side of the second production component on which the adhesive is applied points away from the holding element. If the holding element is not already in the second position, the holding element is moved into the second position by the bending element, so that the second production component is given a slight curvature.
  • the holding element located in the second position with the second production component held thereon is moved by the drive unit in the first direction, i.e. against the first production component, so that initially the second production component moves with it of the adhesive layer applied thereto contacts the first production component only with a middle region and then—after a further movement by the drive unit in the first direction—completely contacts the first production component and applies pressure.

  • the thermal press can be arranged offset to the side of the main conveying direction next to the main conveying device.
  • One advantage here is that a compact size of the production plant can be realized as a result.
  • a laterally offset arrangement of the thermal press next to the main conveyor which can be a conveyor belt, for example, allows the production components to be pressed directly between the first and second press plates and not on the main conveyor/conveyor belt. On the one hand, this protects the main conveying device/the conveyor belt and, on the other hand, the disadvantageous effect of an at least partially elastic base during pressing is avoided
  • the production system can also have a first press slide, which is designed and arranged to convey the manufacturing components arranged one on top of the other from the main conveyor device into a position between the first press platen and the second press platen, and a second press slide, which is designed and arranged to move the production components one on top of the other to promote arranged manufacturing components from a position between the first press platen and the second press platen onto the main conveyor.

  • the thermal press is also set up to press the production components with a predetermined pressing temperature and/or a predetermined pressing pressure and/or a predetermined pressing temperature curve and/or a predetermined pressing pressure curve and/or a predetermined pressing time.
  • This design enables the production components to be connected particularly quickly because--in contrast to the thermal press mentioned above, which is arranged laterally to the main conveying direction--no lateral displacement of the production components from the main conveying direction into the thermal press is required.
  • a simpler construction is made possible because no slides or the like are necessary for the lateral movement.
  • a further thermal press is also provided, which is designed and arranged to press the third manufacturing component and the manufacturing components arranged on the third manufacturing component together.
