Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002092343
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An article laminating apparatus is provided for use with a cartridge (80) having a detectable element indicative of a characteristic of laminating materials. The apparatus includes a frame enabling the cartridge (80) to be removably mounted thereto and an article processing assembly carried on the frame. A control system controls the article processing assembly to perform an article processing operation. The apparatus also includes a detector (330) operable to detect the detectable element (332) on the cartridge (80). The detector (330) is operable to transmit a signal to the control system based on the detectable element (332) on the cartridge (80). The control system is operable to adjust at least one parameter of the operation based on the signal. Laminating apparatus with improved heating elements and improved cutting device are also described.
