The term adhesive cement is sometimes used in place of adhesive, especially when referring to a synthetic adhesive.  laminating. The MP50 has a built-in laser. It connects to a standard Windows N74 or 2000 PC, where the software displays the sheet temperature profile and triggers an alarm in case of temperature deviations that could cause wavy edges tears, or other faults. It automatic edge detection is unique, Raytek says edge detection is unique, Raytek says.

Custom-built prototypes of such a system have been installed for several years in Europe. The new commercial version boasts more user-friendly software.
