Abstract: Provided is an article transportation facility including a plurality of article transportation vehicles and an operation terminal for controlling the article transportation vehicles, in which each of the article transportation vehicles includes a vehicle transmission/reception section for transmitting and receiving signals for communicating with the operation terminal. The operation terminal includes an operation section operated by a user, a terminal transmission/reception section that transmits and receives signals to and from the vehicle transmission/reception section, an extensible section that can extend and retract the distance between the operation section and the terminal transmission/reception section, and a setting changing section that changes a setting of at least one of a signal transmission strength and a reception sensitivity of the terminal transmission/reception section.

Abstract: A laminating apparatus is composed of a transporting device for transporting a card, a film supplying device for supplying a film, a compression bonding device for thermally compression bonding a laminate material on the film onto the card, a driving device for shifting the compression bonding device from a standby location to a compression bonding location, a film taking-up device for taking up the film, a first guide for guiding the film in a supply side of the film, a second guide for guiding the film in a take-up side of the film, and a third guide for guiding the film in an upstream side of the second guide and in a downstream side of the compression bonding device, wherein the third guide moves in conjunction with the compression bonding device.

Abstract: A laminating apparatus 100 is composed of a laminating section LR for thermally compression bonding a laminate film 2 having a material for forming a protective film 2a on at least one surface 1a of a card 1 recorded with information and for bonding the protective film 2a on the one surface 1a of the card 1 while the card 1 is carried through the laminating section LR, a supplying section 101 for supplying the card 1 to the laminating section LR, carrying means R1 and R2 for carrying the card 1 supplied from the supplying section 101 so as to pass through the laminating section LR at a prescribed passing through speed, and a controlling section 304 for controlling the passing through speed in the laminating section LR, wherein the controlling section 304 controls the passing through speed such that a finishing moment speed V2f when the card 1 finishes to pass through the laminating section LR is slower than a starting moment speed V2s when the card 1 starts to pass through the laminating section LR, and where

Abstract: A laminating apparatus 100 is composed of a cooling section 120 for cooling a card 1, and a thermo compression bonding section LR for thermally compression bonding the card 1 cooled by the cooling section 120 and a laminate film 2 having a material for forming a protective film 2a so as to produce a laminated card by bonding the material for forming a protective film 2a on at least one surface 1 a of the card 1.
