ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for laminating a plurality of components to one another in an assembly includes a table having an upper surface for successively stacking a plurality of components in registered, aligned, superimposed relation to one another to enable the components to be joined to one another. The upper surface of the table has a plurality of apertures formed therein. A source of vacuum is selectively connectible to the plurality of apertures formed in the upper surface of the table for holding at least one component in place when positioned thereon for lamination, two spaced apart, parallel, linear guide rails are connected to the table. An elongated roller has opposite ends connected to the rails for sliding, guided movement along the rails as the roller rollingly engages the upper surface of the table. A drive mechanisms is connected to the roller for reciprocating the roller along a path defined by the rails. At least one sensor is movable with respect to the table for selectively positioning an end limit of travel of the roller along the path. An adjustable mechanism is connected to the roller for selectively varying pressure applied by the roller with respect to the table during lamination. A roller guard surrounds a substantial portion of a circumference of the roller for preventing the roller from engaging an object having a thickness greater than approximately 3/16 of an inch during lamination.
