Abstract: The present invention relates to a laminating and adhesive transfer apparatus (10) or use with a pair of removable feed rolls. The removable feed rolls carrying a supply of stock material to be unwound. The apparatus comprises a frame (12) constructed and arranged to removably mount the feed rolls. A pair of nip rollers are rotatably mounted to the frame.  The nip rollers define a nip area therebetween with a feed side and a discharge side. An actuating mechanism is constructed and arranged to affect nip roller rotation. The frame (12) is constructed and arranged such that, when the feed rolls are removably mounted thereto, a master can be inserted between the feed rolls, the stock materials can then be unwound from each of feed rolls so as to be disposed on opposing sides of the master, and the master and the stock materials can thereafter be fed together into the feed side of the nip rollers.  The nip rollers are constructed and arranged to apply pressure to the master and stock materials being fed into the feed side of the nip rollers as a result of the nip roller rotation so as to perform a laminating or adhesive transfer process to the master and stock materials and subsequently discharge the processed master and stock materials outwardly from the discharge side. An exit tray (16) provides a substrate supporting surface positioned and configured to receive and support the processed master and stock materials being discharged from the nip rollers in a substantially flat relation to thereby prevent downward bending of the processed master and stock materials.

Abstract: A method of obtaining by use of a laser measuring appa-ratus position measurement er-ror information of a body to be moved under computer con-trol in a volumetric space along paths having designated mea-suring points for position error evaluation or correction. The method in a preferred form in-cludes the steps of directing a laser beam in a given direc-tion in said space and placing a laser beam reflector on the body to be moved in directions non-parallel to said direction, the reflector being sufficiently large that it will receive and re-flect said directed laser beam back to said apparatus for ac-tual reflector distance measure-ment along the beam path as said body is so moved. Then, with the computer of said sys-tem moving said body along said non-parallel paths measur-ing and recording with said ap-paratus the actual positions of said reflector along said beam path as the body reaches said various measuring points. The actual reflector position measurements are compared with the ideal reflector measurements and from the reflector position error so determined the body position error components at said measuring points are computed.
