Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A self-threading lamination head (200) has a material supply drum (220), a backing layer collection drum (300), and a material threading system. The material supply drum (220) supports a material roll (224) of backed material (226), comprising layup material (228) backed by a backing layer (230). The material threading system includes at least one threading belt (326) located on one side of the lamination head (200). The threading belt (326) is supported by belt rollers (328) driven by a belt drive motor (330). A belt-mounted layer engagement device is coupled to the threading belt (326) for engaging a backing layer leading edge portion (232). The backing layer collection drum (300) collects the backing layer (230) as the lamination head (200) applies the layup material (228) onto a substrate (122). The belt drive motor (330) drives the threading belt (326) over the belt rollers (328) and causes the belt-mounted layer engagement device to thread the backing layer (230) through the lamination head (200), and position the backing layer leading edge portion (232) proximate the backing layer collection drum (300).
