A heating device for use with a clamp for laminating substrates is provided. The heating device includes a support member, a heater control device coupled to the support member and a heater cartridge. The heater cartridge includes a cartridge housing retaining an insulation pad, an infrared reflector and a heating element, wherein the heating element is operatively coupled to the heater control device to control current flowing through the heating element, and wherein the support member is coupled to a clamp for laminating substrates. The insulation pad may be formed of a ceramic carbon fiber material and the infrared reflector may be formed of a reinforced Mylar sheet.

Heating device for use with a clamp for laminating substrates

A portable air clamp for use during lamination of substrates is provided. The clamp includes a top clamp plate, a bottom clamp plate and at least one flexible, expandable tube within a housing of the clamp. The top clamp plate is adjacent to a top housing and the bottom clamp plate is adjacent to a bottom housing. An expandable tube or bladder may be disposed in the top housing or the bottom housing. The clamp may also include alignment devices and mechanisms for ensuring proper alignment of the substrates during the laminating procedure. The clamp is adapted to provide uniform pressure along the surfaces of the substrates to be laminated.
