A Thermal Laminator for laminating PCBs and UV Photoresist made with an old laserjet printer fuser
See a quick demo (without photoresist).
Here you will find details on how to build a PCB laminator to use with uv-sensitive (dry-film, etc) methods.
Inside the src folder there's code that runs in the STM32 MCU. The file laminadora_ident_stm32 is the PID version and laminadora_stm32 is the ON/OFF (aka bang-bang) control version.A system model was developed with matlab, although in the end I chose to keep the bang-bang version.
The document Relatório Laminadora contains a detailed write-up of the procedures.The system model, PID implementation and write-up were carried on by us as part of an assignment for our University Course.
