Abstract

A method and a device for laminating essentially plate-shaped workpieces 20, 21 with at least one adhesive layer 402 that can be heat activated and cured under the effect of pressure and heat is provided. A number of workpieces 20, 21 is inserted into a multiple-stage vacuum lamination press 200, in which the workpieces 20, 21 are laminated in press stages each with a vacuum chamber divided by a flexible pressure member 30b, 31b, 32b, 150, 151 into a product half 141 and a pressure half 131 under the effect of heat, wherein the product half 141 of the vacuum chamber, in which at least one workpiece 20, 21 is arranged, is evacuated and the pressure member presses the workpiece 20, 21 directly or indirectly against a bottom side of the vacuum chamber due to the resulting low pressure and/or due to an additional pressurization of the pressure half of the vacuum chamber, which is arranged on the side of the pressure member facing away from the workpiece 20, 21. The lamination process is interrupted by opening the multiple-stage vacuum lamination press 200 and the number of pre-laminated workpieces 20, 21 are transferred into a multiple-stage laminator 201, and that the workpieces 20, 21 in the multiple-stage laminator 201 are exposed to a temperature at or above the curing temperature of the adhesive layers.
