Claim Text:
1. A heating device for use with a clamp for laminating substrates, the heating device comprising: a support member; a heater control device coupled directly to the support member; a heater cartridge comprising a cartridge housing retaining an insulation pad followed by an infrared reflector followed by a heating element within the cartridge housing, 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 directly to a clamp for laminating substrates; a first sensor located at the heating element and operatively coupled to the heater control device, wherein the heater control device deactivates the current flow through the heating element in response to receiving a temperature reading from the first sensor above the preset maximum operating temperature of the heating element; and a second sensor configured to couple near an adhesive layer between substrates to be laminated and operatively coupled to the heater control device, wherein the heater control device deactivates current flow through the heating element in response to receiving temperature reading from the second sensor above a preset laminating temperature.
