Abstract: A method for coating flat structural parts (2), in particular furniture fronts, with a film (3), wherein the parts lie in a pallet (1) which is turned by about 180° in a rotator after the coating process, so that the coated parts (2) joined by a common film (3) can fall out of the pallet (1) and be separated. The essential point is that a pallet (1) which can be filled on two sides is used and that the previous turning back of the pallet after the part has been removed can be omitted.

Abstract: A device for printing flat work pieces having a transportation device for the work pieces and having at least one printing device, in which an inking roll rolls on the work pieces transported through the printing device and thereby applies a print image to a surface of the work piece, with the transportation device being provided with a lateral guide for the work pieces. The lateral guide has sections that are individually adjustable via actuators between the neutral position and a test position.

Abstract: A method and a device for laminating essentially plate-shaped workpieces 20, 21 with at least one adhesive layer 402 that can be heat activated and cured under the effect of pressure and heat is provided. A number of workpieces 20, 21 is inserted into a multiple-stage vacuum lamination press 200, in which the workpieces 20, 21 are laminated in press stages each with a vacuum chamber divided by a flexible pressure member 30b, 31b, 32b, 150, 151 into a product half 141 and a pressure half 131 under the effect of heat, wherein the product half 141 of the vacuum chamber, in which at least one workpiece 20, 21 is arranged, is evacuated and the pressure member presses the workpiece 20, 21 directly or indirectly against a bottom side of the vacuum chamber due to the resulting low pressure and/or due to an additional pressurization of the pressure half of the vacuum chamber, which is arranged on the side of the pressure member facing away from the workpiece 20, 21.

Abstract: A multi-layer laminating press for laminating essentially planar work pieces under the influence of pressure and heat, including: a number of hot plates arranged over top of each other and movable in reference to each other; a number of conveyers revolving around the hot plates each having an upper run and a lower run; sealing elements each arranged between the hot plates and the conveyers to form vacuum chambers between each of a first hot plate and a respectively adjacent second hot plate arranged thereabove when the press is closed. The lower run of the second conveyer of the second hot plate rests on the upper run of the first conveyer of the first hot plate and the work piece to be laminated is arranged between the upper run of the first conveyer and the lower run of the second conveyer in the vacuum chamber. Connections are provided to pressurize and/or evacuate the vacuum chambers.

Abstract: A press and a method to laminate board-shaped work pieces via pressure and heat is provided. The press includes an upper press table 1 having an upper press plate 7 and a lower press table 2 having a lower press plate 10, and the upper and/or the lower press plate can be heated. The press further includes a one or two-part encircling gasket 16, 17, arranged at the upper press table 1 or the upper press plate 7 and/or the lower press table 2 to form a vacuum pressure chamber when the press is closed, an actuator 4 to open and close the press, as well as a vacuum source connection to evacuate the vacuum chamber formed by the seal 16, 17. According to the invention the lower press plate 10 can be raised in reference to the lower press table 2 and is arranged such that a work piece 6 located in the press initially does not contact the heated press plate 7, 10 when the vacuum pressure chamber is closed.

Abstract: A method and a device for printing board-shaped work pieces in a printing gap are provided. The printing gap is formed by two printing rollers that are adjustably spaced apart from each other, with the board-shaped work piece being transported on a transporting device to the printing gap and being printed when passing through the printing gap. Prior to or during the transport to the printing gap, a thickness of each work piece is measured and the printing gap is adjusted prior to the printing process via a parallel or offset change of the distance between the two printing rollers in reference to each other, according to the measured thickness of the work piece.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process and a press for manufacturing laminated plastic cards, such as check guarantee cards, credit cards and the like of several films to be pressed together with each other. Moreover, operations are conducted with two compression plates which are movable relative to each other which accommodate in the compression slot the films to be pressed together with their pressure plates with the interposition of at least one compression pad. It is essential that this compression pad is held rigidly or displaceably on the press.

Abstract: The invention involves a platen press for manufacturing laminated plastic cards, in particular contactless cards with integrated electronic components. In the press, above the uppermost platen, a heating plate is arranged which is mounted to be vertically displacable, and functions as a movable stop for the lifting movement of the press.

Abstract: A device for wet coating, in particular printed circuit boards, with lacquer using at least one applicator roller (20, 21) and sparing at least one edge area of the printed circuit boards. The device uses a doctor blade arrangement situated between a lacquer reservoir and the printed circuit board that can move in an axial direction, one edge of which touches the applicator roller (20, 21). The doctor blade arrangement is designed can also remove excess lacquer, for example, photo-resistant lacquer from a multilayer board, from both longitudinal edges of the printed circuit board without any residue. This is also possible for multilayer boards of varying widths in particular.
