cuts are either connected or transported individually into the thermoforming system and are processed therein in other words a conceivable system concept comprises that prefabricated film cuts in all needed colors or structures are placed by means of a device into a connecting station which is arranged upstream of the film infeed in such a manner that they are either connected edge to edge or transversely with a slight overlap for connecting for example high frequency welding thermal contact welding adhesive and further connecting means can be considered the position should be selected such that the joint is always positioned underneath the transverse bar of the clamping frame thereby a continuous film with different colors is obtained which can be processed with little material loss if necessary automatic adjustment of the heater in the system should take place for different colors or structures for processing the different colors conventional laminating stations and in general thermoforming system can be used the system not even u201c recognizes u201d that the incoming film strip is composed of individual blank cuts upstream of the film infeed a film star can be arranged for different colors or structures thus in general for the different film types for example in each case one film is cut to size and.
