Abstract: A strip-shaped supporting adhesive tape is joined to a ring frame, and then is stuck with a cutter blade such that the cutter blade penetrates the adhesive tape. In a state where a cutting edge of the cutter blade is brought into contact with a tape joined side of the ring frame, thereafter, the adhesive tape is cut along a contour of the ring frame while electric current is fed to each of the cutter blade and the ring frame. Herein, a sensor monitors a conduction status in real time.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a joining structure at a joining portion of a couple of members. A belt type flat surface portion (11) provided to one member (10) and an opposing flat surface portion (21) provided to the other member (20) are joined with each other via a plurality of plate springs (14) allocated along the longitudinal direction of the belt type flat surface portion. Here, a plurality of plate springs are directed diagonally to the longitudinal direction of the belt type flat surface portion. Accordingly, the plate springs can be allocated with higher space efficiency and moreover close contact can be improved and reduction in cost can also be realized.

Abstract: A joining roller rolls on the surface of a reinforcing substrate held by a center and side latch claws so as to be close and opposite to an wafer placed and held on a holding table in the condition that an adhesive sheet is adhered on the surface, whereby joining proceeds. As the joining roller rolls, both of the latch claws oscillate downward and the latch claws themselves move down while keeping the bend of the reinforcing substrate nearly constant, and retract when the joining roller approaches the latch claws.

Abstract: For detection of an adhesive film adhesively provided on a base tape of a film supply tape, a front end of the adhesive film is detected based on the detection of a predetermined displacement amount of a roller contactor of a detection sensor, the roller contactor being displaceable in a direction of thickness of the adhesive film. Based on a detection signal from the detection sensor, feeding rollers and others are controlled to feed the film supply tape by a predetermined feeding amount until the front end of the adhesive film comes to near a fold-back point of the base tape by a guide member.

Abstract: A clamping mechanism includes a retention part that fixes a card-shaped electronic component that has been inserted into a slot in a predetermined direction for electric connection, and a support part that supports the retention part in a direction that intersects with the predetermined direction.
