Abstract: A method for folding over an edge of a decorative layer, a fold-over system, a method for converting a fold-over system, and an interior trim part. To reduce cycle times and to achieve excellent quality of the produced laminated parts at the same time, a method is provided wherein the fold-over slide for fixing the edge of the decorative layer is cooled by means of an active cooling means. Alternatively or cumulatively, the fold-over slide according to the invention is heated by means of an active heating means. In a preferred embodiment, a heating fluid flows through the fold-over slide when the fold-over slide is already pressing the adhesive into the adhesive joint, such that the hot-melt adhesive is activated. Then, under persistent contact pressure, the fold-over slide is cooled until fixation occurs. Then the fold-over slide is removed, and the carrier part can be exchanged.

Abstract: A method for providing a laminate film with adhesive as a step in the preparatory process for manufacturing a laminate mold part using a support part, a method for applying a hot melt to a laminate film, a method for manufacturing a laminate mold part, using a method, a system for laminating a support part as well as a method for such a system produces especially high quality lamination and even if the support part, where the laminate film should be laminated, is not porous by applying the adhesive to the support part for bonding the macroscopically structured laminate film, so that there is a duct system. The air can flow through the duct system between the laminate film and the support part during the lamination process.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for laminating components with sheets, in which an adhesive is applied to the surface of the laminating sheet and/or of the component in a grid-like manner, so that, after the sheet and the component are joined, the adhesive is arranged between the sheet and the component, and the regions between the applied adhesive form a channel system that enables the removal of the air that is present between the component and the sheet. The invention further relates to a laminated molded part obtainable by the above-outlined process. The use of an adhesive grid provided between a component and a laminating sheet results in a reduction or prevention of air inclusions when the component is laminated with a laminating sheet.

Abstract: A method of riveting using a plastically deformable plastic rivet is provided. The method includes positioning the plastic rivet in front of the rivet on a component, of a motor vehicle, and deforming the rivet by a riveting die by applying a riveting force, such that a rivet holds the component wherein the rivet is with a rivet dynamometer and the riveting force is measured and a rivet is set with a predetermined breaking point.
