Directed vacuum assisted lamination apparatus for laminating a film on a substrate, and method of laminating a film on a substrate

摘要

"VACUUM-ASSISTED LAMINATION APPARATUS FOR LAMINATING A FILM IN A SUBSTRATE, AND A FILM LAMINATING METHOD IN A SUBSTRATE". A directed vacuum assisted lamination apparatus and methods of use thereof are disclosed. The apparatus includes a vacuum assisted rolling mill (610) for applying large format films to substrates (624), wherein the rolling pressure is generated at least partially by a vacuum generated in a vacuum cavity. The apparatus also includes a steering system for controlling the vertical position of the rolling mill and a vehicle (690) for moving the rolling mill (610) along the substrate in a desired direction.
