The invention relates to an apparatus for laminating a film part, in particular a decorative layer, on a carrier part having a laminating region in which the film part can be laminated onto the carrier part, in particular onto a motor vehicle interior trim part, having an edge region arranged adjacent to this laminating region in which the film part projects beyond the carrier part in order to produce a bend-around region on the film part which can subsequently be bent around a carrier part edge, and having a tool in which the tool comprises a first tool half for producing a surface design on the film part and a second tool half for receiving the carrier part, wherein the first tool half comprises thermally differently acting sub-regions, namely a first sub-region with a contour for the surface design which interacts with the laminating region and a thermal sub-region which interacts with the edge region adjacent to the laminating region.
An apparatus for laminating a film part on a carrier part having a laminating region in which the film part can be laminated onto the carrier part having an edge region arranged adjacent to this laminating region in which the film part projects beyond the carrier part in order to produce a bend-around region on the film part which can subsequently be bent around a carrier part edge, and having a tool in which the tool comprises a first tool half for producing a surface design on the film part and a second tool half for receiving the carrier part, characterized by means for producing at least two different temperature regions on the film part, wherein the means for producing comprise a heating device by means of which at least the first tool half can be temperature-controlled differently in certain areas.
A method for laminating a film part on a carrier part by means of a tool comprising a first and second tool half in which the film part in the tool is provided with a surface design, in which the film part is laminated onto the carrier part in a laminating region and in which a bend-around region of the film part is produced in an edge region arranged adjacent to this laminating region, which bend-around region can subsequently be bent around a carrier part edge, wherein the laminating region and the edge region are treated thermally differently, and wherein the film part is sucked into a material recess arranged next to the laminating region into the first tool half, in order to produce a material reservoir on the bend-around region so that the bend-around region can then again be sucked more easily into a material recess of the second tool half.
A method for laminating a film part on a carrier part by means of a tool comprising a first and second tool half in which the film part in the tool is provided with a surface design, in which the film part is laminated onto the carrier part in a laminating region and in which a bend-around region of the film part is produced in an edge region arranged adjacent to the laminating region, which bend-around region can subsequently be bent around a carrier part edge, wherein the laminating region and the edge region are treated thermally differently, and wherein the film part cools more slowly in the edge region than in the laminating region.
