Abstract
The apparatus of the present invention enables the lamination of a plurality of planar and non-planar objects in a lamination apparatus where multiple frames per platen and multiple platens per cycle are used. With the preferred embodiment, lamination of multiple products of various thicknesses is achieved, while simultaneously maintaining the pressure uniformity across all stacks. The result is achieved by using a height equalizing lamination punch head, control logic and verification devices.
