Patent ID: 6893521

Claim:
A double-side lamination system comprising: a card having an upper surface and a reverse surface; a thermocompression bonding device for selectively laminating laminate films each having a heat adhesive layer on a surface, on at least one of the upper surface and the reverse surface of the card, a pair of heat rollers for applying heat and pressure to the card, at least one temperature sensing element for measuring temperatures of said heat rollers, and a controller including a heater temperature control part for operatively controlling heaters for said pair of heat rollers; an arithmetic processing part controlling whether said double-side lamination system is in a double-side lamination mode in which laminations are carried out on both surfaces of said card, or in a single-side lamination mode in which lamination is carried out on only one of said surfaces of said card, said arithmetic processing part being operatively connected to an output terminal of said at least one temperature sensing element to automatically distinguish between the double-side lamination mode and the single-side lamination mode by comparing measured temperatures of said heat rollers by said at least one temperature sensing element at a predetermined time after turn-on of the power of said double-side lamination system with a predetermined reference temperature.
