Description

  The present invention relates to a laminating apparatus including a separate processing unit other than a plurality of exchangeable / detachable laminates.

In connection with laminating, many related processes (processing different from laminating) are required as exemplified below.
A) Embossing to form a continuous convex or concave pattern on the laminated surface film.
B) Correct the warp (curl) generated on the surface of the laminated object.
C) Muscle push processing is performed on the laminated film.
D) Cut perforations on the laminated surface.

There are no multi-functional models of conventional laminating apparatuses, and the majority can only perform laminating. In addition, models equipped with embossing, an anti-curl roll, a cutter mechanism, and the like have been proposed (for example, Patent Documents 1 to 7 below). However, the current situation is that neither mechanism can be removed or replaced.
