Claim:
An automatic sheet laminating apparatus for laminating a sheet article and a pouch, said automatic sheet laminating apparatus comprising: a first sheet input tray for placing said pouch, wherein said pouch includes a first film and a second film, and a front end of said first film is connected with a front end of said second film; a second sheet input tray for placing said sheet article; a plurality of transfer roller assemblies for transporting said pouch and said sheet article; a separating roller assembly arranged at a first side of a combining zone for separating a rear end of said first film from a rear end of said second film, wherein said separating roller assembly comprises a separating driving roller and a separating follower roller, and said separating follower roller is rotated with said separating driving roller; a braking sensor arranged in said combining zone, wherein said braking sensor generates a braking signal when said pouch is detected; a braking element connected to said separating follower roller for controlling whether said separating follower roller stops rotation in response to said braking signal; and a control unit electrically connected to said braking sensor and said braking element for controlling said separating follower roller to stop rotation in response to said braking signal, and controlling said separating follower roller to rotate again after said braking signal has been received for a predetermined time period, wherein during said separating follower roller stops rotation, said separating driving roller is contacted with said first film such that said rear end of said first film is moved from a first side of said separating driving roller to a second side of said separating driving roller, and during said separating follower roller is rotated again, said separating follower roller is contacted with said second film such that said rear end of said second film is moved from a first side of said separating follower roller to a second side of said separating follower roller.
