Abstract:
1. A laminating method for manufacturing a multi-layer composite in a laminating unit comprising, in this order, the steps of: conveying a sheet element in a longitudinal direction in the laminating unit toward a laminating section, conveying a backing in the longitudinal direction in the laminating unit toward a laminating section, detecting a position of the sheet element comprising phases of measuring a lateral position, an angle of pivoting, and a longitudinal position of the sheet element with reference to at least one of the longitudinal direction and the laminating unit, correcting the position of the sheet element on a first basis of the detected position and on a second basis of a reference position, the correcting step comprising the phases of lateral movement, pivoting movement, and longitudinal movement of said sheet element, and bonding the sheet element onto the backing by laminating the sheet element onto the backing in the laminating unit, wherein the reference position is related to the position of the backing, and wherein the sheet element and the backing are discrete bodies.
