LAMINATE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM

To provide a laminate processing device that can heat-fuse sheets (two stacked sheets) at a constant transport speed without increasing a size of the device.SOLUTION: A laminate processing device includes: a sheet processing unit in which two sheets are stacked and a sheet-like medium is sandwiched between two stacked sheets that are partially joined together; and a thermal fusing unit that performs heating and pressurization while conveying the two stacked sheets. The sheet processing unit has an exit roller that conveys the two stacked sheets to the thermal fusing unit, and changes a conveyance force of the exit roller when the exit roller passes the two stacked sheets to the thermal fusing section. A lamination quality can be improved because the two stacked sheets can be heat-fused at a constant conveying speed in the heat fusing unit. Further, there is no need to extend a conveying distance from the exit roller to the thermal fusing unit, and a size of the device is not increased.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】装置サイズを大きくすることなく、一定の搬送速度でシート（２枚重ねシート）を熱定着できるラミネート処理装置を提供する。【解決手段】２枚のシートが重ねられ、その一部が接合された２枚重ねシートにシート状媒体を挟み込むシート処理部と、２枚重ねシートを搬送しながら、加熱及び加圧を行う熱定着部と、を備えるラミネート処理装置において、シート処理部は、２枚重ねシートを熱定着部へ搬送する出口ローラを有し、出口ローラが熱定着部に２枚重ねシートを受け渡す際に、出口ローラの搬送力を変更する。熱定着部にて２枚重ねシートを一定の搬送速度で熱定着できるので、ラミネート品質を向上できる。また、出口ローラから熱定着部までの搬送距離を延長する必要がなく、装置サイズを大きくしない。【選択図】図１
