  • Patent number: 12072658
    Abstract: A sheet laminator includes a thermal fixing roller pair, a first heater, a second heater, multiple temperature detectors, and a driver. The thermal fixing roller pair includes a first thermal fixing roller and a second thermal fixing roller facing the first thermal fixing roller. The thermal fixing roller pair thermally fixes and conveys a two-ply sheet and a sheet medium nipped between two sheets of the two-ply sheet. The first heater heats the first thermal fixing roller. The second heater heats the second thermal fixing roller. The multiple temperature detectors are at different positions along an axial direction of the thermal fixing roller pair. The multiple temperature detectors detect a surface temperature of the thermal fixing roller pair. The driver drives the thermal fixing roller pair.

  • Publication number: 20240253341
    Abstract: A sheet processing system includes a sheet processing device and a lamination processing device. The sheet processing device includes a sheet separator that separates a two-ply sheet and inserts an inner sheet between the two-ply sheet to form a first enclosed two-ply sheet. The lamination processing device bonds the first enclosed two-ply sheet, and bonds a second enclosed two-ply sheet in which the inner sheet is inserted outside the sheet separator. The sheet processing system includes a relay conveyor that conveys the first enclosed two-ply sheet from the sheet separator to the lamination processing device attachable to a sheet feeder to directly feed the second enclosed two-ply sheet to the lamination processing device. The sheet processing device includes a cord holder to hold the power cord of the lamination processing device at a position where feeding and ejecting the two-ply sheet after bonding the two-ply sheet are not hindered.

  • Publication number: 20240239092
    Abstract: A lamination processing system includes a sheet separation device, a lamination fixing device, and a conveyor. The sheet separation device separates a two-ply sheet to insert a sheet medium between two sheets of the two-ply sheet to form an enclosed two-ply sheet. The lamination fixing device includes an inlet port and a heater. The conveyor conveys the enclosed two-ply sheet from the sheet separation device to the lamination fixing device in a conveyance direction. The conveyor includes a conveyance passage and a guide. The conveyance passage guides the enclosed two-ply sheet from the sheet separation device toward the lamination fixing device. The guide guides the enclosed two-ply sheet to the inlet port. The guide forms a space accommodatable a deflected part of the enclosed two-ply sheet formed by a difference in a conveyance speed of the enclosed two-ply sheet between the sheet separation device and the lamination fixing device.
