to provide overpressure in the reservoir above the level of adhesive the adhesive may be a single component adhesive or a multicomponent adhesive as is convenient for the materials being laminated together such arrangements are known to the skilled person and need not be described further in the illustrated case adhesive applicator hose 15 and adhesive reservoir 16 constitute an adhesive applicator arrangement 19 the at least one material input station 11 11 u2032 the workstation 12 and the adhesive applicator rest station 14 are all at least partially within the area of reach of the robot 10 such that the robot 10 can manipulate the sheet shaped material and the adhesive applicator 13 by means of its manipulation head 20 described in greater detail below control unit 18 controls the robot 10 and the adhesive applicator arrangement 19 so as to assemble the aforementioned laminated structures once the structures are assembled they are removed from the work station 12 either by hand by the robot 10 or by other mechanical means not illustrated fig3 illustrates schematically a nonlimiting example of a manipulation head 20 of the robot 10 manipulation head 20 comprises a body 30 provided with a first manipulator comprising a plurality of suction cups 31 arranged for handling sheet shaped material by application of a negative pressure to the suction cups 31 as is known in the present example six suction cups 31 are provided however any convenient number is possible ancillary equipment such as vacuum hoses and vacuum pumps are known to the skilled person and are not illustrated as an alternative electromagnets mechanical gripping means or other.
