  1. Operator A inserts carpet (on lower tool)
  2. Start of the process
  3. Manipulator brings preheated carrier and puts down onto carpet with high accuracy
  4. Pressing
  5. Laminating
  6. Edgefolding – jaws fold the carpet edges afterwards are fixed.
  7. Cooling
  8. Operator A  takes out the part
