There is provided a laminating system (30) comprising a laminating module (200) and a transportation module (100) wherein the transportation module (100) is arranged to automatically drive the laminating module (200) over a surface (10) to be laminated. Here the surface (10) to be laminated is large and maintained substantially stationary. The transportation module (100) includes a retaining means and a drive means. The retaining means resists movement of the laminating module (200) relative to the surface (10) except when the laminating module is driven by the drive means. The laminating module (200) includes an unwind unit (210) adapted to receive a roll of laminate (20). The laminate (20) comprises an adhesive film and first release layer. The unwind unit (210) is adapted to allow the laminate to be unwound from the roll. A first release layer discard unit is provided. The first release layer discard unit is adapted to remove the first release layer from the laminate. The laminating module (200) includes a first pressing unit (240). The first pressing unit (240) is adapted to press the film onto the surface (10). Here, the retaining means is adapted to resist a pressing force applied by the first pressing unit (240) and acting to move the laminating module (200) away from the surface. As the transportation module (100) automatically drives the laminating module (200) over the surface, the pressing unit (240) presses the film to the surface.
A laminating system (30) comprising a laminating module (200) and a transportation module (100) wherein the transportation module (100) is arranged to drive the laminating module (200) over a surface (10) to be laminated;
The laminating system (30) of any preceding claim wherein each pressing unit (240, 250) comprises a pressing surface (242), wherein the pressing unit is arranged to press the pressing surface against the surface (10) being laminated.
The laminating system (30) of any preceding claim, wherein the laminating module (200) includes a moveable guide arranged to apply a nip against a pressing surface of the first pressing unit (240), the moveable guide being arranged to move simultaneously with the pressing surface to transfer the nip from one side of the pressing unit to another relative to the direction of laminating.
A method of laminating a surface (10) using a laminating system (30) according to any preceding claim, the method comprising;
A laminating module (100) comprising:
A method of laminating comprising applying a pre-heat before pressing a laminate (20) to a surface (10) using a first pressing unit (240), applying a second heat to heat the laminate pressed to the surface by the first pressing unit (240) and subsequently using a second pressing unit (250) to further press the laminate (20) against the surface (10).
A laminating module (100) comprising:
A method of laminating comprising:
