Abstract

Disclosed is an alignment device capable of making high-speed adjustments to successive top sheets relative to underlying backings as they are conveyed toward an application station for lamination, in order to ensure that each successive top sheet is properly aligned prior to being laminated to its backing. In desirable embodiments, the alignment device can achieve successive angular corrections at a rate of at least 13,000 top sheets per hour.
