Abstract: An automatic laminating apparatus includes: a lay-up head provided with a raw-cloth roller on which a thermoplastic prepreg is wound and a pressing device for pressing the thermoplastic prepreg drawn from the raw-cloth roller against a lamination surface; and a welding device provided with a welding head pressed against the thermoplastic prepreg to temporarily weld the thermoplastic prepreg to the lamination surface, the automatic laminating apparatus laminating the thermoplastic prepreg by performing a lamination operation of moving the lay-up head to lay the thermoplastic prepreg having a predetermined length on the lamination surface, in which the welding device is provided in the lay-up head, and the automatic laminating apparatus further comprises a drive control device that causes the welding device to perform temporary welding of the thermoplastic prepreg laid in the lamination operation in a course of the lamination operation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a heater control device and a heater control method capable of suppressing a maximum value of a current flowing through a current supply circuit to a heater in a reducing agent supplier. The heater control device is a heater control device including: a tank heater for heating a reducing agent stored in a tank; and a piping heater for heating the reducing agent in a flow channel including a supply channel, and includes: a first current supply circuit that supplies a current to the tank heater; a second current supply circuit that supplies a current to the piping heater; a common current supply circuit that connects between a battery and each of the first current supply circuit and the second current supply circuit; and a heater control unit that controls driving of the tank heater and the piping heater.
